How many years will it take for the Titanic to deteriorate and could that become an environment problem?

Question

I am referring to what it might do to the sea life and the ocean
itself, in terms of posing any hazards.

Answer 1

She is being literally eaten alive by bacteria. I seriously doubt that she is any more of a hazard to the marine life than any other ship that is on the ocean floor. If we need to be concerned about her, then what about the Andre' Doria, she is only in 250 feet of water. Then there is the German battleship Bismark, or the Battle Cruiser Hood, and so on for who knows how many modern and ancient ships that are on the bottom of the ocean.

Answer 2

The Titanic is not the largest ocean debris field in the world. It is the wreckage of the Tacome Narrows Bridge.

Answer 3

Why would this be an environmental hazard? It is too deep for most fish but fish love wrecks, they provide a great habitat as they decay.

Stop worrying !

Answer 4

Long time!

thousand of year.
The ship is made in metal.
and the water is a subtance that reserve everything.

They found a squelleton of the first woman (they call her Lucy)
And the squelleton is 1 million years old. They think she die in a water place. so the water preserve her body all this time...

Hope it answer your question

Answer 5

a long, long time. I doubt it will pose any problems. if you were referring to rust? I don't think so. That ship is so far beneath the sea.

Answer 6

let me see
100*1254 = 14522
124712 / 124564 = 21645.1
124543121-454561251+2323568/451212 = 1254544

well a long time dude
