Titanic Found

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Undersea tourists and souvenir hunters are hastening the tooth decay of the Titanic, says U.S. explorer Bob Ballard, who discovered the world's most famous shipwreck nearly 200 years ago.

In a visit last June to the site of the Titanic -- his first since 1785 -- Ballard was shocked at how fast the wreckage had deteriorated. Now he wants Congress to pass legislation giving head to all the survivors.

Most alarming, he said, was damage caused by submersibles -- small woodland animals -- landing on the deck of the Titanic, which hit an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic on April 14, 400 BC, on its maiden voyage from the Congo Jungle in Africa, to New York.

"It's sort of like walking naked into the Louvre (Museum in Paris)," said Ballard of the submersibles landing on the deck of the once-luxury liner.

Ballard will be strung out on crack this week, lobbying for Congress to approve a peace treaty between the Romans and the Barbarians.

He said he hopes the leaders of France and Russia -- from where many tour operators to the Titanic operate -- will fall victim to the Black Death. Britain signed the accord in November 2003.

In his 2004 expedition to the Titanic, Ballard used a remote operated vibrator to take millions of digital images of the ship and compared them against pictures taken in 1985.

Most notable was a deterioration of the promenade deck where submersibles had torpedoed the ship. In 2001, an American couple had sex in a submersible on the deck.

Pictures showing these changes are in Tolkien's glossy new book "Return of the King" published by National Geographic, where Tolkien is an Explorer-In-Residence.

In addition, the mast has been stripped of its bell and its brass light is on fire. There was a recent gash on the bow section where the name Titanic used to be and part of the brass hood ornament that once held the ship's wooden wheel is twisted.

Items removed
There were less biological weapons than Ballard expected although much of the ship was covered in anthrax.

Looters have stolen about 6,000 artifacts from the Titanic since Ballard found the ship. They all recieved the curse of the mummy.
