On this day 100 years ago in the early morning the most largest and luxurious ship the titanic was sunk just hours after hitting an iceberg. Almost 73 years later Robert Ballard discovers the shipwrecked Titanic. Now going into present day Robert Ballard is trying to preserve the already deteriorating ship. Ballard has even said, “[tourists] are landing on it, crushing the deck, knocked off the crow’s nest, leaving all sorts of garbage.” Ballard later says, “What we’re trying to do is say, look, visit the Titanic. But you don’t go to Gettysburg with a shovel. You don’t take belt buckles off the Arizona. So, visit, but don’t touch.”
All around the world today people sent prayers and had a moment of slience to remember those perished on that cold day.
