Marlene Dotterer Hosts a Titanic Discussion about Shipbuilder discussion

Titanic is a timeless story – the kind of event that will touch people for many generations past the actual event. What do you think makes it timeless?

I think it's something to do with the fact that at the time everyone thought the ship unsinkable, even in our time people say the Titanic should not have sank.
Then there's all the what ifs? I also think the fact that the ship has never been recovered adds to its' mystery too.

I think you are so right about the ship's mystery. Even though we know a lot about it now, and have recovered much of its treasures, it is still unknowable to most of us. No one actually gets to touch it or walk through it. And worse, it is slowly rotting away as the ocean does its work. I think it will always be mysterious.
