Long time no see

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.

if you'll consult the graph

I'm kinda fagged out by life. Life is a fag. And I'm fagging it. I hate my life.
