People keep calling this “exploration” and the people on board “explorers”. The Titanic is the most well-documented shipwreck in history. The site has been picked over by countless dive teams, scientists, engineers, oceanographers and historians. There is nothing left to discover. Let’s call them what they were: rich tourists whose hubris made them think they were invincible but actually lead to their pointless, avoidable deaths and a search operation that will likely cost American, Canadian, French and British taxpayers millions.
