Titanic's deteriorating bow over the past 37 years: Devastating images snapped by underwater robots show just how rapidly the famous liner is breaking apart

Even after a century beneath the water, the Titanic's bow remains one of the most magnificent and haunting sights in the ocean. However, a new survey of the wreck site has revealed that the railing, made famous by Jack and Rose, has now collapsed into rust. Haunting images snapped by underwater robots through the years show the great ship's bow has gradually eroded. Experts say that its metal construction and frequent human visits mean it is only a matter of time before the Titanic collapses. Dr Rodrigo Pacheco-Ruiz, archaeological data manager for HMS Victory and maritime archaeologist from the University of Southampton, told MailOnline: 'The realistic view is that because she's such a big metal object, she won't be there for very long.' Haunting pictures reveal how the Titanic's iconic bow has decayed in the 37 years between 1987 and 2010 Earlier this week, RMS Titanic Inc, the company which holds the salvage rights for the ship, released new images and footage of the sunken liner.
