The rusting ruins of the Titanic continue to deteriorate, and according to the team investigating theshipwreck, "naturally caused by the sea. It's consumed." using submarines.
North AtlanticPrevious investigations into the ruins of a sunken British passenger ship suggested that the ship was "deteriorating rapidly" due to metal-eating bacteria. was Its her maiden voyage and killed 1,500 people.
OceanGate Expeditions, a company investigating shipwreck sites on Titan submersibles last yearsaw the famous ship's mast collapse, scattering the site at a depth of 12,500 feet. We have confirmed that the wreckage is increasing.
After her one series of dives in two years to the wreck, company founder and chief executive officer Stockton Rush said the condition of the wreck was better than last year. said it was bad.
"It's naturally consumed by the ocean," Rush told his GeekWire.
One of her main annual missions on the Titan submersible is to investigate the wrecked Titanic, which is designed to withstand the extremely high pressures that occur at depths of approximately 4,000m. .
A five-person submersible captured video of the wreckage of thesunken ship.Researchers are analyzing these videos to examine different species and their densities in the deep sea. -Sea habitat surrounding the ship.
A research team of marine biologists, environmental DNA experts, marine archaeologists, and GIS mapping experts wants to answer many questions, including how marine life affects man-made structures. I believe.
"This fusion of biology, ecology, archeology and GIS mapping makes a unique contribution to the study of the Titanic and, perhaps more importantly, to the study of the ocean floor." , we have a better map of the moon's surface than the Earth's oceans, and that needs to change. We know that the Titanic gives us an insight into how these structures support or affect marine ecosystems, as well as how man-made structures are affected by natural elements and inhabitants. , provides a unique deep-sea case study. It is otherwise a muddy deep-sea plain.
"The fusion of these diverse research fields that our scientific team has brought to the Titanic expedition will make these data available to the wider scientific and When shared with the educational community, it will help contribute to deep sea research," said Dr. Ross said in June.
