Titanic submersible es morte
It's the fact that the US, Canada and UK are throwing immense resources at several "risk taking adventurer" millionaires while countries ignore those taking risk in search of just the opportunity for a better life.
The reason that many are interested is the allure of rich people doing rich people things. I mean a father paid $500,000 for he and his son to travel down 12000 ft to see a ship wreck that holds no real value other than to say I've seen it.
The Titanic, even in its deep, north Atlantic watery grave, both have strong, immense historical, cultural fascination, and value even though the vessel sunk over 111 years ago. Its construction, kind of came from a dare from a fellow, competitive British ship-builder over dinner one night in London in 1905 or 1906 and its builders, engineers, dock workers all labored away to build the largest, biggest, most expansive passenger cruise vessel ever. Its designs, beams, engines, hulls, hatches were designed and crafted to make it "unsinkable", not even by God. It was the twilight high mark of the Edwardian Age, the last gasp of the Eurocentric pre-WWI Gilded Age, a period where science, technology, boundless new resources, territories, innovations was supposed to usher in a new utopian worldwide Golden Age.
It was a time of boundless opportunism, confidence, unshakeable belief in modern science, rationality, human progress that to many historians now, seems borderline delusional, extremely naive, and terribly short-sighted. It was a period thats very difficult to articulate to many living today because we live in such a polarized world, some politicians or world leaders believed war itself, in 1912, was obsolete, a few even dared to dream even further and argued for a one-world government.
The Titanic was the accumulation, or the living, physical embodiement of these heady dreams, aspirations, and futuristic fantasies and when it hit that iceberg, and slowly, then gradually sank into the cold, icy North Atlantic, it damaged, if not partially shattered these widely-held, core values and beliefs about the uninterrupted dream of technological progress, unmatched innovation and mastery over nature itself.
