And, like you said, 80 years in the deep; yet much of Titanic's wood was identifiable, so who knows? This was more southerly than the wreck of Titanic, maybe that had some bearing on what kind of life is down there. An amazing world we live in, that's for sure.

Here's hoping this can lead to some kind of closure for the families of the lost.
