Over one hundred years under the ocean and on watching that you can be led to believe it only sank yesterday!! Must be due to the very cold conditions and that there are no creepie crawlies that can feed on the wood down there.
So it can be assumed that given the same water conditions for the future in another 100 years not much will have changed and being 10,000ft down, no-one can try to salvage it even though it is protected.
Regards
Nigel.

Absolutely amazing!
And it was discovered on the 100th anniversary of Shackleton's funeral. Wow. Thanks so much for sharing this, Paul.

It's like it was meant to be.

Incredible. It’s amazing how well she’s been preserved. Never seen anything quite like it.
