Does the museum have any material salvaged from the wreck of Titanic?

0

No, We only have fragments that floated to the surface when Titanic sank in 1912. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, along with most marine museums in the world, belong to the International Congress of Maritime Museums which is opposed to commercial salvage of Titanic. They consider Titanic to be a memorial and archeological site requiring minimal intervention, systematic mapping and sharing of research for scrutiny by archeologists and scientists. Simply retrieving objects destroys much of their value and sets a bad example for other historic shipwrecks, including the ten thousand recorded ship wrecks in Nova Scotia waters.
