It's sad that the current generations looking at this stuff now will be the very last to explore the remains before they're gone for the rest of time but it's at least fortunate that its rest at the bottom of the ocean will have lasted nearly 120 years and long enough for man to have been able to find it and document it.
They should probably do 3D scans of it, so they can explore it in VR.

I mean, would you buy a boat from the people who made an "unsinkable" boat that sunk?

Tanzilya Bisembeyeva, who lived in Russia, has died aged 123. The secret to her long life was 'optimism and fermented milk'. Her family says she 'never sat still' and had 26 grand-children.
Latest World's Oldest Woman died last week aged 123. Born in 1896 she was 16 when the Titanic sank and would have been retired by the time the first film in our Film of the Year 1970 poll came out and yet she stared death in the face so hard he kept away for nearly another 5 decades. Total boss.

Unverified oldest woman though. No chance she was actually 123. The oldest verified person currently is 116. She'd look well more ****ed than she did if she was actually 123. The article also says the Russians claimed somebody who was 129 died recently, and it's not like Russia to spout pure fiction as if it were the truth.
