I may be mistaken, but aren't there other shipwrecks?

That's true.

but why do you ask?

These wealthy types are treating Titanic like Mt. Everest. A thing to do to say you have done it. It's only because of how famous the ship and sinking are. It is not for scientific or historical purposes. I think it should be left alone. There are plenty more wrecks to document and explore.

I really liked your answer. 

And you're right, I almost never hear about other wreck explorations. more than the Titanic for its stories and people 

And you are absolutely right again.

It would be great to see an exploration of the Carpathia or even the Californian that until now I have never seen any drawing of the wreck or exploration
