For over 30 years, RMS Titanic, Inc. has brought museum-quality exhibitions to the public. We are the salvor in possession of the Titanic wreck site and the only entity able to legally recover artifacts. We have the privilege to work with some of the world’s leading Titanic experts, several who have contributed from their life’s work to this publication.
