The bottom of the deep ocean is a hostile environment. Over time, man-made objects will be consumed by bacteria, abraded by sediments and corroded by salt and acids. Even the ship itself is slowly being destroyed by iron-eating microorganisms and will one day collapse on the ocean floor. Artifacts that are not recovered from the wreck site will eventually be lost.

If the wreck is not "protected" you may remove artifacts. There are certain protected shipwrecks in Massachusetts Bay. All wrecks within state waters are protected unless they appear on the "exempt" list. When diving in Massachusetts State waters (within 3 miles of shore) some shipwrecks are classified as "exempt" from issuance of permits.

Titanic's wreck site is located 963 miles northeast of New York and 453 miles southeast of the Newfoundland coastline.

To date, RMS Titanic, Inc. has recovered over 5,500 objects from the wreck site, ranging from delicate porcelain dishes to a 17-ton section of the hull.

Recovery of historic ship or aircraft wrecks will be considered only for educational or scientific purposes. It is unlikely the Department of the Navy will recommend the disposal and sale of historic ship or aircraft wrecks. It has been Navy policy not to dispose of historic ship and aircraft wrecks for the following reasons: Congress has mandated through the NHPA that the Department of the Navy make every effort to preserve its historic cultural resources.

The first and most important reason is that diving to the Titanic’s wreck is an inherently dangerous activity. Without the proper supervision, a second tragedy could too easily occur. Secondly, because of the remote and dangerous location of the Titanic, approximately two and a half miles below the surface of the ocean in the middle of the North Atlantic, it is virtually impossible to control the activities of unauthorized expeditions.

None of the objects that RMST recovers from the Titanic will ever be offered for private sale. All artifacts—defined as objects that were a part of the Titanic or possessed by a person on board—will be maintained together as a collection and remain available to the public. Coal does not fall under this definition, and is therefore the only object recovered from the wreck available for sale to the public.

Most are housed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York; others are at the Western Archeological Conservation Center in Tucson. A few particularly handsome pieces are on display at the park.

In 1995-1996 the Museum of Ontario Archaeology totally excavated the Ridge site, a special-purpose component dating to the prehistoric Neutral Iroquoian period circa A.D. 1500. The site was small, covering an area of 0.5 hectare, and consisted of two longhouses with a "midden" or garbage dump located outside one end of each longhouse. Yet we discovered over 6500 artifacts.

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.

Artifacts from public land are the property of the state or federal government and cannot be collected or excavated without a valid permit. Artifacts from private land are the property of the landowner. Collecting or excavating at these is trespassing and/or vandalism without the express permission of the owner. The only exception is human burials. These are protected by law in the entire state. No one may knowingly disturb a grave or excavate it without a permit.

Knoppix-STD has the potential for severe damage, but not unless you want it too. By default Knoppix-STD simply borrows RAM and peripherals and leaves the hard drive alone. Take the CD out, reboot and you'll never know Knoppix ever ran. forensics folks note that you need to boot with the 'noswap' option to NOT touch an existing Linux swap partition.]

You are responsible for your health insurance. An insurance policy is available for $50.00 for damage to the racecar, subject to a $1000.00 deductible. Due to the quality of our training and racecars, damage is rare.

R: You can move forwards and backwards or turn around with your arrow keys. Signs on board of the Titanic will help you with the other functions like running, changing your camera view point and even flying around! R: The Titanic 3D is a visualisation made by Emmanuel Asset, based on the original plans and drawings. Susan Katarzis made the Avatars and clothing after research on the original clothes during those times.

OPEI offers public lectures, slide presentations, tours, and other no cost programs to educate and inform the public on the history and status of New York City's African Burial Ground and the Five Points archaeological site. OPEI's office is located in the U.S. Custom House at 6 World Trade Center, Room 239, tel. no. (212) 432-5707.

More than 3,000 artifacts are on display. The oldest is a spear point, over 9,500 years old, that was recovered from a site in southern Alberta where a now extinct form of bison was killed.

quot;Accidents and near misses involving humans and rolling equipment on railroads are, of course, not new kinds of events. They have existed since the dawn of steam locomotion on railroads and were extant during the two previous centuries when livestock pulled the rolling stock along the track. For example, ca. 1830, the Baltimore & Ohio had an accident in which the (horse) driver of a rail-coach fell to the rails and was killed. For another example, during the period of 1813-1833 on the 3.
