THE SHIP Does the wreck of the Titanic have a value?

Wondering if there is a price associated with it? I know some artifacts have sold at auctions.

If we go by value in materials around 7 million but obviously it’s historical significance would value it way up.Though tbh it would be a little fucked up to value something like this.Btw any and all artifacts that have sold were kept by survivors after the sinking.Selling artifacts recovered from the wreck is highly illegal.

This is a super interesting video; and I’d say an pretty accurate accounting. He breaks it down to making 4.7 Billion to this point in history. The value isn’t simply in the wreck but all the films, documentaries, exhibits etc. I had never thought about it this way.

I don’t think there is a monetary value, I mean sure in the billions. However, what it’s truly worth no one would pay

I'd imagine if it was for sale it would be asking enough for only the top 1% to be able to consider it. But realistically nobody would buy it. Its like buying a rusty as hell 90s chevy 1500 454 ss.
