The company would also “recover free-standing objects inside the wreck,” according to the AP, which could include objects from inside the Marconi room-the room that held the ship’s radio-if the objects aren’t affixed to the wreck. Instead, RMST says the plan includes taking images of the wreck where deterioration has opened up new ways to get a remotely operated vehicle inside the hull. RMST, which in 1994 entered into an agreement with the ship’s owners, Liverpool and London Steamship Protection and Indemnity Association, to be the exclusive salvor-in-possession of Titanic, says it has no plans to alter the wreck. “No person shall conduct any research, exploration, salvage, or other activity that would physically alter or disturb the wreck or the wreck site of the RMS Titanic,” the law reads. With roughly 1,500 passengers perishing in the tragic 1912 sinking, government officials wanted to protect the sanctity of the site. The U.S., United Kingdom, France, and Canada all entered into an agreement to treat the wreckage as a sacred burial site in attempt to fend off looters and salvagers.
