Speaking to Bill Willard, the man who helped raise “The Big Piece” of Titanic’s hull

In this episode, we speak to Titanic expert and author Bill Willard. He was a vital part of the team who raised a massive piece of Titanic's hull from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in 1997, and ever since has become cemented into the history and legacy of the Titanic story in the modern day. As well as defending their decision to raise "The Big Piece", Bill and the team have had to dispute claims that bringing up parts of the ship and artefacts is "grave robbing" to some. We find out who REALLY owns the items which once belonged to passengers of the infamous ship, which now lay in the debris field surrounding the ship, and also find out about undisclosed and secret expeditions to the wreck which took some of these items in order to sell them for profit, and in doing so damaged Titanic's wreck.
