Looking around the web I noticed this article that says that a court ruling allows salvage operators to cut in to the Titanic and recover radio room items.

The question in my mind is, "Should they?"
I was puzzled about the idea of having to cut in to the vessel though, I remember watching a program showing video footage from one of the explorer subs (actually an ROV), and in that footage the 'explorer' followed the line of a cable hanging down the side of the hull. On the end of it was a Marconi Three Turret Tuner!
So I wonder if the radio room is actually scattered across the sea floor rather than sitting in a neat pile awaiting recovery?
I was wondering too what it would feel like to handle the Morse Key used on that fateful night? Enough to give you goose bumps!
