    The Titanic mail is probably all soggy after these past 103 years.

    The mail bit is real. In New Haven, CT in the 70s they found some mail bags that had been dumped into the sound after a mail robbery in the 50s. Folks started getting glassine envelopes containing the old letters and a note from USPS apologizing for the delay in delivery.

    Since the US Postal System has not yet taken delivery from the British carrier, it would seem likely to be the Brit’s problem.

    Any mail recovered from the Titanic would more likely be considered historical artifacts and subject to the special salvage provisions proposed by the NOAA for conservation of those artifacts.http://www.gc.noaa.gov/gcil_titanic-salvage.html

    Any Mail recovered from the titanic would be subject to a Feeding Frenzy from the “Treasure Hunting” Crowd.The Stamps Alone would drive Auctions Wild..The Actual Letters would be scrutinized for literary, historic and “AWWWWWW” Value..
