The British man who has legally owned the Titanic since 1972 has compared the recent expedition to the famous wreck with a circus and is planning to hold exhibitions throughout Britain displaying his ownership papers, affidavits, press releases, letters, other legal papers, salvage rights and thousands of press cuttings alongside varying other models and other memorabilia to show the world the truth about what has happened since the wreck was first discovered and recorded in 1953.
Among the newspaper cuttings are the first story published about finding Titanic in 1977/78 (along with the original photos and official reports about exactly what happened and the location), a copy of The Observer printed on 31st August (dated 1st September) 1985 telling about Dr. Ballard's 'discovery' more than seven hours before he even made the discovery, complete with the location he registered. There are also the papers from the auction house where the owner was able to legally auction the steering mechanism and press cuttings from the newspapers the following day. A letter from the American group taking part in this recent expedition also clearly accepts that Titanic is British owned.
All of the above facts are legally binding and preceed any American claims, putting into serious question any rulings made by American courts and mostly because the registration of Titanic remained in Britain. The fact the wreck lies in international waters means it is also outside the jurisdiction of American courts.
With all this proof being presented in its original form will you want to see it with your own eyes?
