Confessions of a Shifty Princess

just thinking about how sirius was the only person harry ever felt comfortable venting to. about his scar hurting, about the first task and the dragons, about how ron wasn't speaking to him, about how nobody believed him. because harry knew that sirius listened, sirius cared about his feelings just as much as he cared about his safety.

I wish to know the unknowable. To see what no mortal has seen. To peel back the carpeting of the world and tumble into the stars.

alright everyone is being sassy but nobody has brought up the actual reason why scientists are interested in the titanic in the notes

Not a marine biologist but biologist enough to weigh in on this. The reason we have iron eating bacteria but not wood eating bacteria at the bottom of the ocean is simple. Hydrothermal vents release a cocktail of different mineral ores into the ocean. And bacteria and other organisms evolved alongside those so they evolved to digest these, like iron or other metal ores

Okay, but I remember reading a magazine stating that the titanic would basically be gone by now because of the rust eating the ship.

So lemme get this straight, the Titanic is a whalefall, the Britannic is a biological mummy, and all the wood ships that sink into the deep ocean are preserved incorrupt because nothing can eat them.
