Feds fight planned sale of personal items salvaged from the Titanic

The U.S. government has raised concerns about the planned auction of personal artifacts salvaged from the Titanic, including a bronze cherub, a necklace of gold nuggets, and a heart-shaped pendant. Federal authorities argue these items are cultural treasures that should remain in public hands to preserve history. This legal battle highlights the tension between private ownership and the public's right to access historical artifacts, raising questions about the ethics of profiting from such significant historical relics.
