OK, the Titanic sank over 1000 years ago.

A lot of people died locked below in steerage, in order to insure the Rich and Elite got a seat on one of the very limited Lifeboats.

But even thinking about preserving the wreckage for what purpose? Other than a $$$$ pit and slush fund for Egg Heads in the making.

Mutant 59 - The Plastic Eaters
I think it was Grom who mentioned the book some time back.

Given the opportunity and enough time, bacteria can learn to eat pretty much anything, including plants, animals, and nasty stuff like the sulphides in mine runoff or organic acids.

It is a good thing they are slow moving. But they do still manage to get the drop on us sometimes.
