The Wreck Semi-darkness cloaks the wreck, but the explosion hole created during the 1914 salvage operation becomes a doorway into the past. The designated route initially reveals the way to the 1st class dining area. Once elegant and ornate little remains of former dining splendor.
Time simply decays so much in the water.
Only table bases and brass posts cling to the deck. Superb meals for the privileged had been prepared in the spotless 1st class pantry. The solid bronze serving tables have survived the assault of time. Most materials succumb to the effects of salt water and usually corrode or rot. The distinct checkerboard flooring remains clearly visible after 80 years submerged.
