US Government Ends Legal Battle Over Titanic Expedition

The U.S. government has ended its legal battle against an upcoming Titanic shipwreck expedition by RMS Titanic Inc. after the company revised its dive plans to respect federal laws and an agreement with Great Britain. The concern was that the original plans could violate regulations treating the site as a gravesite for the 1,500 victims. While the current legal challenge has been dropped, future expeditions may still face legal action if they involve disturbing the wreck or retrieving objects within it. Despite the conclusion of the current dispute, the U.S. government remains open to potential legal battles over upcoming dives that may breach established agreements and laws.
