The Titanic is falling to pieces, but this sword, which has been submerged ten times as long, is "fully intact"?
Verily, I say there is some sort of magick here...

I was just reading about Titanic today.

Her worst attacker, other than 108 years in a saltwater environment, is a microorganism that eats iron and craps rust. The "rusticles" (called so by Dr. Ballard, who found her) are basically amoeba poop from these critters.

Brass and other nonferrous inorganics are actually in pretty good shape, where they weren't smashed by the ship hitting the bottom. I wouldn't mind a crack at some of the electric light fixtures still hanging around in there.

Fresh water low oxygen zone vs. salt water.

A very large difference, indeed.
