That's awesome. Speaking of deteriorating old ships, Robert Ballard (found Titanic & some US submarines for the gov't) is now exploring old ships in the Black Sea. Apparently the conditions of the water preserve ancient ships (think B.C.) largely intact. The water of the Black Sea is cooler & less saline than the Mediterranean, so when the two waters mix it creates an anoxic layer which doesn't sustain life. This means the Black Sea doesn't have the underwater life that eats away at wood & ships, and thus has preserved some excellent examples! Cool stuff, and I love it! Curious to see what they out about the find at the WTC site.
