@Senseibu@SpaceDogs It’s one of the more well known and relatively large and modern era wrecks. Probably also implications of valuables still trapped inside. It was a top of the line ocean liner and there’s the added irony that it was specifically advertised as being unsinkable.
Yeah the unsinkable thing is a big part of the mythos. The wreck of the Titanic stands as a testament to humanity’s hubris; its creators were so arrogantly confident in the technology they were using that they cut back on basic safety features and precautions. It’s also what makes the Titan stand as a testament to humanity’s ability to repeat the mistakes of the past even when the consequences of the past are staring you in the face.
