What happened to the Titanic after 100 years on the ocean floor?

Not much. The wreck is very deep in very cold water. There has been some corrosion, and some loss of the more organic components of the wreck, but that is it. If you look through the pictures and videos, you can clearly see leather boots and other debris on the sea floor. many of the artifacts (over 5,000) that were brought up are in remarkable shape. Paper menus can be easily read, clothing looks well worn but intact. A pair of cotton workman's glove is scorched, and tattered, but could have easily been in that condition before the sinking. One of the ships linen napkins displayed in the sale last year looks ready for service.
