Artifacts that are not recovered from the wreck site will eventually be lost.

FAQ - Cosmic Wimpout - Frequently Asked Questions and Their ...
There is a roll that is so bad that it has its own name. If on any throw of all five dice, you do not get any scoring cubes ("5," "10," Triplet, or Flaming Sun), then you Wimpout, or Trainwreck. We don't know why, but many people Train Wreck on their first throw of the dice. So there is a rule that if you Train Wreck the first time you ever roll, you get to throw again.

What do you learn from artifacts?

FAQ's
Artifacts have the potential to tell many things about the way people lived in the past. By carefully examining their shape, evidence is collected on their manufacture, age, and uses. Archeologists can also conduct replicative experiments to gain a better understanding of how tools were made and used, or how shelters were built. Physical and chemical tests provide detailed information on the age of organic materials, and the types of residues left on tools.

Is there treasure on the wreck?

faq.
The real treasures of Titanic are less tangible than gold, and more precious than diamonds. Although the wreck probably contains numerous articles of passengers jewellery, the real "gold" is woven throught the fabric of the story itself. Apparently, the pursers safes were emptied prior to the sinking, and the cargo manifest lists fairly common articles.

Why don't you teach 'Wreck Diver' classes?

Technical SCUBA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Cave divers usually make good wreck divers, but the reverse usually isn't true. This is because the cave environment demands the diver develop very precise buoyancy control, greater awareness, and better buddy/teaming skills than the wreck environment.. I feel a diver trained at the Cavern Diver or higher level is far better prepared to deal with any overhead environment, including a wreck, than a diver trained to the Wreck Diver level..

Are there any human remains at the wreck?

faq.
No. Due to the efforts of marine organisms, as well as the seawater, the human remains have been consumed in the years following the sinking. It is a logical assumption that since the wreck lies in over 12,500 feet of water, and the decent of bodies would have been gradual, many of the victims would likely have come to rest some distance from the remains of the ship itself. This was certainly not the case for all of the victims.
