[QUOTE="Doug Criner, post: 222913, member: 138113"] Titanic's electrical system used the hull as a return path (like automobiles that use the steel body for the return path). Theoretically, the polarity should have been hooked up so the hull was a cathode, thus reducing galvanic corrosion - but I've seen to reference to that. Was Titanic before a general appreciation of galvanic corrosion? Also, I haven't seen reference to sacrificial anodes installed on the hull below the water line. By the way, has any consideration been given to attaching sacrificial anodes to the wreck to slow down corrosion? [/QUOTE]

In which year did the Titanic sail?
