Efforts are beginning to save the wreck of the Titanic as an underwater museum. “Hundreds of tourists and salvagers, explorers and moviemakers, have assailed the Titanic since the team of American and French scientists discovered its resting place more than two miles down. Partly as a result, the vessel, the world’s most famous shipwreck, is rapidly falling apart. ‘The world’s oceans are the museums of the deep. It is in the interest of all peoples to protect and conserve both wrecks of recent history as well as submerged sites of antiquity’.”
