    Yeah, that’s not very typical. l’d like to make that point.

      It’s actually very typical for metal ships to break down in that deep of ocean. Wood ships are, paradoxically, the ones preserved on the deep sea floor.

      That’s cause wood ships are eaten by aerobic bacteria and metal ships are eaten by anaerobic bacteria.

        Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that ocean liners aren’t safe.

          I’m surprised they didn’t just tow it outside of the environment.
