The rusty ruins of the Titanic are continuing to deteriorate and are “going through its natural consumption by the ocean”, according to teams surveying the shipwreck using submersible crafts.
Earlier expeditions to the sunken British passenger liner’s ruins in the North Atlantic Ocean had suggested the ship is “rapidly deteriorating” because of metal-eating bacteria, more than 100 years after it sank during its maiden voyage and killing 1,500 people.
