I am one to come up with entirely strange ideas and theories, and here is one of them:
Suppose it was possible to build a large dome (maybe lead) that could entirely separate the Titanic and the water around it (think of a giant space suit). Then, we shoot low radiation at the ship and the water inside this dome. If the right amount of radiation was used, the bacteria that is eating away at the metal would be killed off, and the decay would be stopped. Admittedly, the site would be unvisitable for some time, but also it wouldn't be decaying. After several years, when the radiation has subsided, we could then revisit the site as long as we want.
Admittedly, this idea sounds like it would be better off in a Michael Crichton novel than the real world, but I have a habit of making crazy ideas like this.
