The saltwater will play only a small role in the decay of the Titanic wreck. Rusticles- the formations left behind as bacteria eat away at the ship's hull- are engulfing and destroying the wreck. The bacteria thrives on the iron in the steel plating, and is gradually weakening the hull. Titanic will not dissolve, but rather collapse from the immense strain of its own decks.

Rain water coming from land brings water with dissolved salts to sea , water is evaporated and salt is accumulated in sea .

At a higher temperature than pure water. The exact elevation of the boiling point will depend on the concentration of dissolved salt.
