," was successfully raised by RMS Titanic, Inc. after a two-year effort. First discovered in 1985 during Robert Ballard's expedition, the section was initially attempted to be recovered in 1996, but bad weather caused it to fall back to the seabed. It was finally brought to the surface in 1998, weighing around 20 tons at the time of recovery. After undergoing conservation and being split into two parts for transportation, the "Big Piece" was displayed at several locations before becoming a central exhibit at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, where it remains on display today. The exhibit has attracted millions of visitors, offering them a direct connection to the historic ship through this significant artifact.
