Points for creativity

In less than a month, we will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. As a prelude, here is a list of actual proposals made to raise the wreckage (in chronological order).

1. "attach electromagnets to a submarine which would be irresistibly drawn to the wreck's steel hull. Having found its exact position, more electromagnets would be sent down from a fleet of barges which would winch Titanic to the surface."
2. "attaching balloons to her hull using electromagnets. Once enough balloons had been attached, the ship would float gently to the surface."
3. "raise the wreck by inflating nylon balloons that would be attached to her hull."
4. "180,000 tons of molten wax (or alternatively, Vaseline) to be pumped into Titanic, lifting her to the surface."
5. "filling Titanic with ping-pong balls."
6. filling Titanic with  Benthos glass spheres.
7. "turn Titanic into an iceberg, freezing the water around the wreck to encase it in a buoyant jacket of ice."

Keep in mind, all of these proposals were made before anyone had even discovered the ships final location.
