When the Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912, the ship was deemed the biggest, fastest ship in the world, and most importantly, it was called unsinkable. Tragically, five days later, the ship struck an iceberg and sank, taking with it 1,523 lives out of the 2,228 passengers on board.The story of the Titanic is probably one of the most well-known tragedies in history. In the eyes of the Rev. Don Manley, of First Baptist Church of Oxford, it is also an event that illustrates the uncertainty of life and the need to be spiritually prepared for whatever might come....

And if you're the person onboard a ship, having it split apart is even scarier than having it slowly sink."Chatterton and his co-host, Richie Kohler, set out on an expedition to research the legendary ocean liner last summer. They encountered two huge sections of the bottom - 60 feet by 90 feet - from the area where the ship had split in two. That led to a new theory about how the Titanic had sunk. ...

Roxborough Review (2006) TITANIC BEING EATEN AWAY
Had the Titanic not sunk, it eventually would have been scrapped. Because it sank, the wreckage has been preserved all this time. However, the wreck will not be preserved forever. It is slowly deteriorating, and deterioration will not only continue, but accelerate. The deterioration, in fact, has a biologic cause. The depth to which the ship sank helped preserve the wreckage all these years because it is an oxygen-poor region of the abyssal ocean floor. There is no light at that depth. Photographs and videos of the wreckage depend on artificial lights carried aboard the deep sea submersibles that dive on the wreck. But microbes are eating the steel of which the ocean liner was built. Formations known as rusticles form on the ship's steel as the microbes eat away at the metal. Bronze fixtures of the ship are not affected by the microbes....
