When scientists were able to retrieve a rusticle, it was discovered that it was far more complex than had been imagined, with complex systems of roots infiltrating the metal, interior channels, bundles of fibres, pores and other structures. Charles Pellegrino comments that they seem more akin to "levels of tissue organization found in sponges or mosses and other members of the animal or plant kingdoms." [125] The bacteria are estimated to be consuming the Titanic 's hull at the rate of 400 pounds (180kg) per day, which is about 17 pounds (7.7kg) per hour or 4 + 1⁄ 2 ounces (130 grams) per minute. Roy Collimore, a microbiologist, estimates that the bow alone now supports some 650 tons of rusticles, [108] and that they will have devoured 50% of the hull within 200 years. [107]In deep sea expeditions, MacInnis said, crews often worry about the “trinity”: fire, hull failure or entanglement. a b c "21-Ton Chunk of Titanic Sinks Again". AP News.

In 2001, an American couple—David Leibowitz and Kimberly Miller [65]—caused controversy when they were married aboard a submersible that had set down on the bow of the Titanic, in a deliberate echo of a famous scene from James Cameron's 1997 film. The wedding was essentially a publicity stunt, sponsored by a British company called SubSea Explorer which had offered a free dive to the Titanic that Leibowitz had won. He asked whether his fiancée could come too and was told that she could—but only if she agreed to get married during the trip. [66] New York Times television critic John Corry called the event "a combination of the sacred and profane and sometimes the downright silly". [142] Paul Heyer comments that it was "presented as a kind of deep sea striptease" and that Savalas "seemed haggard, missed several cues and at one point almost tripped over a chair". Controversy persisted after the broadcast when claims were made that the safe had been opened beforehand and that the show had been a fraud. [143] Serway, Raymond A.; Jewett, John W. (2006).
