A dispute is unfolding over the sale of artifacts from the Titanic. The US government is opposing a plan to auction off hundreds of items recovered from the wreckage.

The government's stance is based on its claim that the sale would go against existing court orders. On the other hand, the company with salvage rights to the Titanic wreck believes the auction would not violate any court directives.

Further information on this development can be found through news sources such as FOX 7 Austin, which is following the story as it unfolds.
