What will remain once the majority of the ship has gone?

[QUOTE="ccn87, post: 382593, member: 162018"] Hi all, this is my first post and I've tried to search for answers to this question on here but not found quite what I was after. I guess what I'm trying to get at is obviously the majority of Titanic will be so significantly decayed at some stage, to the point that it wouldn't be recognisable to how we recognise it from the expeditions, movies and images. I can't get my head around that Titanic will [i]entirely [/i]disappear though. I'd imagine that the decks will eventually completely collapse, possibly causing the hull of the bow to splay. Will those destroyed decks disappear before the hull does, or visa versa? Obviously the human element come into play if this happens. The interior of the ship may become more accessible- more artefacts may be found preserved within the ship (although I'm very much against anything being taken from the wreck). Although it's been down there for 104 years it does look in good condition considering, however extensive deterioration has been witnessed since 1985. I guess it'll be a sombre occasion when an expedition goes down expecting to see that famous bow, but instead find it collapsed. I don't know if I should take the "on the verge of collapse" reports with a pinch of salt. I take it the 2010 expedition provided the latest images? To condense the above- I'm not asking when we think the wreck will eventually collapse, more so if humans were not to interfere with the site, what [i]may[/i] be left of Titanic in say 100, or 200 years? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
