1. WHATS SAD IS OUR COUNTRY BETRAID THOSE THAT DIED LETTING THEIR PERSONAL THINGS BE SOLD OFF AMD USED TO MAKE MONEY OFF LIKE FAKE DISGUSTING PROPAGANDA MISINFORMATION MEDIA CHANNELS AN THESE SICK IN THE HEAD PEOPLE

2. That was cause of a coal strike
   All the passengers on the other ships got put on the titanic
   They opened the cargo bay doors cause the people of the life boats were meant to go and pick up other passengers
   The reason the lifeboats were half empty was cause of the rivets that lowered the lifeboats fmdoen …they were new the crew of the ship were worried the lifeboats might just fall into the water if the were full

3. I remember when they first found the Titanic they said they would leave it untouched for respect of the dead and would not go grave robbing what happened there, MONEY i suppose some items ending up in a auction selling for millions trinkets for the rich. Total disrespect for the dead

4. These should be in the Titanic Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland (Where the ship was conceived and constructed).

5. The reason the titanic being found was a big deal
   There was a top secret us navy operation going on in the area
   It was a cover story

6. The Titanic was built by British things in British people those things rightfully belong to the UK

7. Where’s the Logitech controller they had back then? 🫨

8. The bag and document were the only interesting thing shown. Why focus on rivets and a plate?

9. If there is such thing as "Black Jobs" like Trump said…then there is such thing as "White jobs" and this is one of them.

10. fake news…nobody cares…. Shut down… Long live England.

11. I saw a small Titanic exhibition, many years ago, and one of the exhibits was the dress worn by ‘the unsinkable Bessie Brown’.

12. The lady who owned the alligator bag was in 3rd class and her immigration papers were in the bag. What the BBC didn't focus on was how the English woman died a cold, excruciating drowning death due to the hubris of the British White Star Line for not supplying enough life boats.

13. The offending iceberg was given a jury trial, and was found to be unsinkable, as the defense had insisted was the case. The exonerated chunk of ice then floated away into history.

14. Man I'm ok with most things and I love history and I defend museums preserving technically stole/acquired artefacts, but this is just feels wrong to me. Basically robbing a mass grave at the end of the day.

15. Very informative

16. Give the stuff back to the families

17. Not that tired old trope about the ship having sunk because of impurities in the steel of the rivets. Give me a break. Why don't you tell me next about how her rudder was 'undersized'.

18. This is the fuck'n problem with the world always thinking shit belongs to them it's not even your property so I don't see what the issue is of them not putting it in a natural history museum for everyone to see

19. Was it part of the submarine by any chance?

20. MY NEIGHBOR WAS A 9 YEAR OLD ON THE TITANIC
    THEY HAD PLACE SETTINGS FROM THE SHIP I HELD IN OLYMPIA WASHINGTON.

21. Stolen from a mass grave. Disgusting.

22. My sincere thanks for sharing it.

23. I think this kind of stuff can still be considered necrophilia

24. Click bait hiding under the C.D.C…..damn it Coral!!!!

25. I don't know what the whole fuss is about the Titanic…..its a ship that sank….over 100 years ago. Tired of hearing stories of it….not sure what the big deal is about. People are dying to go down thousand of feet to see it in a dangerous submersible submarine….crazy.

26. Grave robbers. Leave the items where they were.

27. where are the diamonds?
