Will Titanic's iconic telegraph be recovered by deep-ocean robots?

The decision, handed down Monday by Rebecca Beach Smith of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, modifies a ruling in 2000 by a previous judge that prohibits the salvage firm, RMS Titanic, Inc. (RMST), from cutting into or detaching pieces from the wreck. Removal of the telegraph machine, located inside the ship's officers' quarters, may require cutting or widening holes in the hull and detaching equipment from interior walls.
