Titanic site expedition planned
The company that has exclusive rights to salvage the Titanic is planning a possible expedition to the world’s most famous shipwreck next year, it emerged today.
The first expedition to the North Atlantic shipwreck since 2004 is revealed in a filing by RMS Titanic in A US District Court in Norfolk, Virginia.
Four days of hearings are scheduled to begin today on the company’s claim for a salvage award.
Lawyers for RMS Titanic confirmed the expedition plans but declined to discuss them in detail with The Associated Press.
The hearings will be presided over by US District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith, a maritime jurist who considers the wreck an “international treasure”.
More than a dozen expert witnesses are scheduled to testify.
