The great ship Titanic, is collapsing again...

As we all know the Titanic was sunken down when hit by an iceberg. Now no one really knows how long it will last before it nearly completely disappears. So now we turn to technology for yet, another answer. BUILDING A 3D MODEL OF THE SHIP ITSELF ON THE COMPUTER! Yes this will take many photographs to create a full 3D image of the Titanic itself. Merchandise of all sorts, including video game(s) that would be released only for Nintendo unless anyone else can make 3D images without glasses. This is true, if you don't believe me then search up "3DS."
Why should we care? If you happen to be one of the 1,500 passengers and crew members that died in this incident then you would care as that is your great (great) grandfather/mother. Other than that it has some historical values but also displays nature breaking what humans made as part of the natural process at work. Such as the Mollusks that have long eaten away at the wooden structure of the Titanic. The metal is left to the bacteria and fungi. And microbes are eating away at the metal creating rusticles. The refined metal is reverted back to the raw material from before it was refined.
The waves are very unforgiving to the Titanic. The waves are very unpredictable causing increased amount of microbes to swarm around the ship itself. And the friction would destroy some of it as well...
There really isn't a reason why we would need to have a record of this ship and this ship along. There were plenty of ships that sank within the same century and no one is considering this at all, so unfair to all the other ships. But this is a thing that many of the middle-class men and women wouldn't and couldn't understand! This is something that rich people do for fun to burn off some of that sweet money they have. If they wanted a yacht they just bought one. If they wanted a pony they would buy a stable. This is just another hobby for the rich to put their name on and say "I save Titanic, now buy a 3DS and a 'Titanic Legend of the Miracle' for $XXX.xx!" It could always be that elaborate I mean rich people really have nothing better to do other than give their names some more publicity and say that they did something historic from their bucket list at age 35.
A reason for tree huggers to really care is that the Earth itself is starting it's own recovery after little less than a century of rotting metal and, although there is no more, wood. This does show that the Earth is perfectly capable on its own without the presence of humans. Watch "Aftermath: Population Zero." It's a very good documentary about a world after humans disappear from the face of the Earth.
Well at least we're finally searching farther than the Titanic, maybe...
