4.5-meter railing missing from RMS Titanic; microbes erode metal, creating rusticles; expedition by RMS Titanic Inc. discovers "Diana of Versailles" statue.
Recent underwater robot dives have documented the RMS Titanic's gradual decay over two months. A 4.5-meter section of railing was found missing, likely lost in the past two years, as microbes erode the ship's metal, creating rusticles. The expedition, conducted by RMS Titanic Inc., yielded over two million images and 24 hours of footage. Notably, the bronze statue "Diana of Versailles" was also discovered in the debris field, raising discussions about preserving the site as a grave.
