111 years ago this year, 1500 individuals perished in the freezing North Atlantic Ocean when the RMS Titanic sank from under them. Due to the temperature of the water, which was only 28 degrees Fahrenheit and -2 degrees Celsius, it took less than 15 minutes for most of them to freeze to death. After the disaster, only 306 of those 1500 people were recovered and given a proper burial. The rest have no other grave but Titanic and the sea. She should therefore be protected by international law.
NOTE: THIS PETITION USED TO INCLUDE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT AS A TARGET, BUT IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT HE CANNOT HELP US WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A BILL TO SIGN INTO LAW. THEREFORE, IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES, I HUMBLY REQUEST THAT YOU CONTACT YOUR STATE'S REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS AND REQUEST THAT THEY INTRODUCE A BILL UNDER THE NAME "SAVE TITANIC ACT." PLEASE CONTINUE TO SIGN THIS PETITION, THOUGH, EVEN IF YOU AREN'T FROM THE UK OR IRELAND WHERE IT IS HEADED. THANK YOU.
