- Authors
Stevenson, Paul
- Abstract
The article discusses the underwater cultural heritage of the shipwreck of the RMS Titanic in relation to the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. The author considers whether the Convention applies to shipwrecks outside of national jurisdiction and discusses debates over ratification of the Convention in the U.S. and Great Britain. Other topics include conflict between private law property rights and international public rights, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the jurisdiction of the shipwreck of the RMS Titanic, court cases related to the RMS Titanic and the salvage company RMS Titanic Inc. (RMST), and the relationship between salvage law and underwater archaeology.
