 EPA: Federal Register: Guidelines for Research, Exploration and Salvage of RMS Titanic
The guidelines are to (1) be consistent with the national and international scientific, cultural, and historical significance of RMS Titanic and the purposes of the Act, and (2) promote the safety of individuals involved in such operations.
The wreckage of RMS Titanic was discovered on September 1, 1985, during a joint French/U.S. expedition lead by Jean Luc Michel and Dr. Robert Ballard.
As RMS Titanic is a British flagged vessel that lies well outside of the U.S. territorial sea and contiguous zone, the U.S. is not asserting jurisdiction over RMS Titanic in proposing these guidelines or otherwise.

 DMS and Climate
Assess the importance of oceanic DMS emissions to the tropospheric sulfur burden and the formation and growth of atmospheric aerosol particles.
Oceanic dimethylsulfide (DMS) is the major natural source of sulfur to the atmosphere and contributes both to the tropospheric sulfur burden and to particle formation and growth in the atmosphere.
The large interannual variations in oceanic and atmospheric properties, associated with ENSO events appear to have little effect on the concentration of DMS in surface ocean waters.

 Titanic-legacy of the lost liner: Construction
The story of the Titanic and her sisters began long before they were conceived in the minds of two men.
A fourth was added and hooked to the ventilation system of the galley, while the other three were hooked directly to the large boilers in the bowls of the ship.
The plans were soon approved, and construction began in December of 1908 on the first of the three liners, hull number 400: the RMS Olympic.

Oceanic was the first ship to exceed the legendary Great Eastern in length and was the largest ship in the world from until 1901.

 RMS TITANIC, INC
The Titanic was directly owned and operated by the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company — popularly known as the "White Star" line because of the white star appearing on the company’s house flag.
This was done in an attempt to get some of the publicity being lavished on the Cunarder and draw attention to the new, larger Titanic, to follow five years later.
The ship was taken over by the British government as a hospital ship and was sunk off the Greek island of Kea in the Aegean Sea on November 21, 1915 with the loss of 30 lives.

Edward John Smith, known to the Merchant Navy as "E.J." was born in 1850 at Hanley, in the Potteries of Conurbation of Staffordshire, not quite as far from the sea as is possible to get in England.
By 1887 he was Captain of the RMS Republic, and served during the Boer War (1899-1902) captaining troop ships.
However on September 20th, 1911 Smith was in charge of RMS Olympic when she was rammed by the Warship, HMS Hawke, causing severe damage to both ships.

RMS was officially registered with the Registry of Societies on 31st July 1962.
In 1982, RMS was once again transferred, this time to the open area behind West Coast Highway Car park no.3.Since then, RMS has enjoyed good success with those who share the same joy (and perhaps, some frustration on occasions,) of modelling aircraft and flying them under Radio Control.
RMS is an affiliate member of the FAI, the world governing body for airsports, and is also a Corporate Member of the People's Association.

Further, the root mean square (rms) received levels that are used as impact criteria for marine mammals (see Richardson et al., 1995) are not directly comparable to these peak or pk-pk values that are normally used by acousticians to characterize source levels of airgun arrays.
For that profiler, the 160- and 180-dB re 1 microPa (rms) radii in the horizontal direction were estimated to be, respectively, near 20 m (66 ft) and 8 m (26 ft) from the source, as measured in 13 m (43 ft) water depth.
Sound levels from a sub-bottom profiler similar to the one on the Melville were estimated to decrease to 180 dB re 1 microPa (rms) at 8 m (26 ft) horizontally from the source (Burgess and Lawson, 2000), and at approximately 18 m downward from the source.

 Lost Bell From Titanic's Sister Ship Acquired By Shetland Museum - 24 Hour Museum - official guide to UK museums, ...
The Oceanic's bridge bell went down with the ship in 1914 but was not recovered during salvage operations in the 1920s and 70s.
The bell is from the liner RMS Oceanic, which sank in 1914 off the coast of Foula in the Shetland Islands.
Oceanic was turned into an armed merchant cruiser at the start of World War One, but shared its sister ship’s ill-fate when it ran aground on the Hoevdi Grund, a reef off Foula Island, on September 8 1914.

He passed the grueling tests and, at the age of 23, was certified as a master mariner.
Having established his qualifications- attaining his masters, spent time in sail, and also possessing the desirable attribute of a commission in the Royal Naval Reserve- Moody joined the White Star Line and was assigned to the prestigious and popular RMS Oceanic.
Oceanic, the second White Star Line ship to bear the name, had made her debut on the North Atlantic run in 1899.

The Oceanic was then in her twelfth year of operation, making the regular Southampton - Cherbourg - Queenstown - New York run twice monthly.
Later sources have suggested that Moody also developed a friendship with David Blair on board the Oceanic, but a perusal of the Oceanic’s crew agreements reveals that the two never served aboard her at the same time.
James received a telegram ordering him to report to Belfast - he, along with many of the Oceanic’s crew including her Fourth Officer Herbert John Pitman and his friend Jack Philips, were to be transferred to the new Olympic class ship, RMS Titanic.

 The Earth Observer January/February 1995, Vol. 7 No. 1
By contrast, the current T/P radial orbit accuracy is 2.8 cm rms with 1.9 cm rms projected by mission end (see Table 2.) The orbit accuracy obtained by the dynamic and by the reduced dynamic techniques are essentially identical, when a gravity model that includes GPS data is used for the dynamic solution.
The 5 cm rms orbit accuracy was predicated on the assumption that a gravity mapping mission, GRAVSAT, would be flown to eliminate the gravity model error, which was the major error source in the orbit computation.
Recognizing that the major limitation to achieving the 13 cm rms radial orbit accuracy was the gravity model error, the TOPEX project initiated an extensive effort to improve the gravity model.

 Administration Transmits Proposed Legislation to Implement Agreement to Protect RMS Titanic Wreck Site
Consistent with the Titanic Memorial Act and with the Ocean Action Plan of the current Administration, the agreement and legislation will designate the RMS Titanic wreck site as an international maritime memorial to those who lost their lives in its tragic sinking and whose grave should be given appropriate respect.
Although RMS Titanic sank 96 years ago and rests 12,000 feet below sea level, it continues to capture the interest of our nation and the attention of people around the globe.
By enacting this legislation and becoming a party to the agreement, the United States will become a leader in the international community in protecting perhaps the most important historic shipwreck in history, in accordance with the most current standards of underwater scientific, historic and cultural resource protection, conservation and management.
