U.S., U.K. Ratify Treaty Protecting RMS Titanic Wreckage

The RMS Titanic wreckage is now protected under a joint treaty between the US and the UK. This agreement, signed by the UK in 2003 and ratified by the US in 2019, aims to preserve the site and regulate visits and artifact removal. The Titanic, which sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg, is the most documented maritime tragedy, with over 1500 lives lost. The treaty is a result of decades-long efforts to protect the wreck, discovered in 1985, and ensures it is treated with respect as a final resting place.
