With the technology that we possess now? No. In the future,quite possibly.
They have an exhibit that has been travelling around the country that included an actual piece of the hull as well as many personal items such as money, luggage, plates from the ship etc. It is a fascinating exhibit and I would highly recommend it if you get the chance to go.

It will never be brought up because the cost weighed against the ability to recoupe this money just doesn't add up. There is an article in Popular Science a few years back about this regarding the hows and whys of this possibility. Besides, a lot of the wreckage would be damaged coming up....remember: it's just a like a human, it's what's inside that counts the most. be well, jack

Currently there is no realistic way to raise the TITANIC, However by the time there is such technology the ship will be gone nothing but a pile of rust cycles and very valuable metals and jewels and porcelain dishware.

No.
Too deep, too big, too far gone. After almost 100 years under water the ship is corroding And Collapsing on itself. In a few years The ship will just be a pile of steel & memories.

no. it's not possible to bring Titanic out of the water now. the rate at which it is decomposing is way too rapid and the ship is no longer strong enough to withstand the trauma that raising it from the bottom of the ocean would cause. it would just crumble.

Even if we had the engineering ability, it isn't possible. After iron is submerged in salt water for a long period of time, it will disintegrate before your eyes.

No. Many people would find that offensive because it is considered to be a burial ship for many lost at sea. I do not think it could be raised in one piece anyway. What would it accomplish?

no the UN declared it a grave site Canada supports that as it is within Canadian water. nothing may be removed from the ship nor is it to be disturbed but people may go down to it as long as they follow the rules.

Never know, but at this point it's supposed to be protected. I think it will not come up in one piece, though.

probably not because from being under water so long it could fall apart...unless something could prevent it from being within oxygen.
