    At that depth (and pressure :eek: At two miles down by my calcs that's 323 bar or 4,690 psi !) the water will be very cold and completely dark which hampers any marine growth. It will also have significantly less dissolved oxygen which reduces the speed of corrosion.

    The pictures are impressive and it's noticeable how little silt has settled on the wreck. Were they taken by a ROV or submersible I wonder? Two miles down is a lot of cable to trail behind a ROV...
