huffingtonpost.com	POSSIBLE HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT TITANIC WRECKSITE Human remains may be embedded in the mud of the North Atlantic where the New York-bound Titanic came to rest when it sank 100 years ago, a federal official said Saturday. A 2004 photograph, released to the public for the first time this week in an uncropped version to coincide with the disaster's centenary, shows a coat and boots in the mud at the legendary shipwreck site. "These are not shoes that fell out neatly from somebody's bag right next to each other," James Delgado, the director of maritime heritage at the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, told The Associated Press in a phone interview. The way they are "laid out" makes a "compelling case" that it is where "someone has come to rest," he said....	15th April 2012

BBC News	JAMES CAMERON DIVES TO DEEPEST OCEAN POINT He made the descent alone in a prototype submarine called "Deepsea Challenger", taking around two hours to reach the bottom. Once he reached a depth of 10,898 metres (35,756 ft), his first words up to the suface were: "All systems OK." His craft is kitted out with cameras and lights so he can film the deep. This is only the second manned expedition to the ocean's deepest depths - the first took place in 1960. The earlier descent was made by US Navy Lt Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard. They spent about 20 minutes on the ocean floor but their landing kicked up silt, meaning their view was obscured. Before the dive, the Titanic director told the BBC, that making the descent was "the fulfilment of a dream"....	25th December 2011

Roxborough Review	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....	9th February 2006
