I just watched a documentary on the Titanic...my question is
If experts were able to bring up collectables from her, why haven't they raised the ship? |

First of all, it's so mired in mud and silt, it would be a practically impossible task, given the depth she's at.
Secondly, it's regarded as a sacred site, the graveyard of hundreds. |

If I remember it's in cold water 2nd if you try to bring it up it will crumble from the rust. Then you have totally lost the ship forever just like egyptian tombs.

that's true and another thing is how come the military didn't find her first?
They found two bottom pieces of her hull farther away from where she landed and are thinking that the crew thought they had more time than they actually did to save the passengers |

inaccessability and the sheer crushing depth makes it financially unfeasable....who the hell is gonna go down below 3000 feet...get out of a sub and attatch salvage lines to one of the largest chunks of metal on the planet...we aren't talking about a line or two...closer to 2,500 cables would be needed to keep the thing intact.

It's in two separate sections, about a half mile apart, so it would take more than on excursion to do it, if it could even be done at all. Far too expensive, and it shouldn't be desecrated anyway. Sure, I'd love to be able to actually have the opportunity to see it in person, to touch it, to realize its magnificence, but personally, I'm satisfied in just knowing that she was found. That's good enough for me.

The man that found the Titanic was actually on a mission, top secret of course, for the United States Navy. He was sent out to look for a couple of submarines that the Navy lost, and he brokered a deal with them that if he had any time left, he could use the rest of his funding and mission time to go look for Titanic. |

They could still bring up the anchor and the propeller which are made of copper.They thought that not only did she scrape the side,but she might of grounded on the iceberg as well

The propellers are pretty much buried under the stern of the ship.

the experts were thinking that she didn't sink from the hole in her side but may have punctured her bottom as well due to the fourth boiler flooding from underneath

The "experts" can think whateverthehell they want. The end result is still the same. She still sank, and she's still been at the bottom of the sea for the past 96 years.
