due to factors like bacteria eating the iron off the ship and forming “rusticles.” Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreckage in 1985, is strongly opposed to submarines who visit the ship and make contact with it, further contributing to the deterioration. He’s also extremely against retrieving artifacts from it.“But you don’t go to the Louvre and stick your finger in the Mona Lisa. My position is, you don’t go to Gettysburg with a shovel.
