The U.S. District Court in Norfolk, \u2063Virginia, is seeking to block Titanic Inc., a Georgia-based company that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-attorneys-office-moves-to-prevent-2024-titanic-expedition\/\" title=\"US Attorney's office blocks 2024 Titanic expedition.\">holds\u200c exclusive\u2062 salvaging\u2064 rights<\/a> to the doomed vessel since 1994. This move\u200b comes at a time when expeditions\u200b to the\u2063 Titanic are under intense scrutiny, following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nascar-driver-stabbed-to-death-while-pumping-gas-in-california\/\" title=\"NASCAR Driver Stabbed To Death While Pumping Gas In California\">tragic incident involving<\/a>\u200b the Titan submersible, which\u2062 resulted in the\u200b loss of five lives on June 18.<\/p>\n<h3>Unrelated \u200dto the Tragedy<\/h3>\n<p>However, it is important to note \u2064that the legal action to block the 2024 expedition is not directly\u200b related to \u200bthe June tragedy. The dispute revolves around the company&#8217;s intention to salvage parts of\u200b the wreck, which the U.S. argues would violate international laws aimed at \u200cprotecting the Titanic wreckage as a grave site.<\/p>\n<p>In its motion, the U.S. argues that RMS Titanic Inc. must obtain authorization from the Secretary of Commerce before engaging in any activities that would physically alter or disturb the \u2063wreck or wreck site of the R.M.S. Titanic, \u200dunless\u200b authorized by the \u200dSecretary of Commerce, as \u200dreported by CNN.<\/p>\n<h3>Past Expeditions and Current Intentions<\/h3>\n<p>Titanic Inc. previously conducted a\u200b similar expedition in 2020 to recover the ship&#8217;s radio\u200b and was granted permission by a U.S. district\u2062 court. The court \u2062ruled that the company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-kevin-faulconer-californias-next-scrawny-schwarzenegger\/\" title=\"Is Kevin Faulconer California\u2019s Next (Scrawny) Schwarzenegger?\">plan aimed<\/a> to minimize disturbance to the rest of the Titanic wreck, including the hull of \u2064the ship and the remains of the 1,500 individuals lost in the ship&#8217;s sinking.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u2064 in the \u2063upcoming 2024 expedition, the company has stated that it does not intend to \u200bseek a permit, according\u200c to recent filings by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;RMST is not free to disregard this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-tries-to-block-2024-titanic-expedition\/\" title=\"US Attempts to Halt 2024 Titanic Expedition\">validly enacted federal law<\/a>, yet that is its stated intent,&#8221; U.S. lawyers stated in court\u2063 documents, as reported by Sky News. They further added that if the expedition were to proceed, \u200bthe shipwreck &#8220;will be deprived of the protections Congress granted it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a> \u2063to visit The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US government aims to halt a 2024 expedition to the RMS Titanic wreckage.
