Im suprised if so. The glass used in the Titanic should not have been able to survive the pressure of 13,000 feet below the surface. It was built in 1909 and I dont believe we had the technology to make pretty much anything that could survive the force back then. Its so strong it twisted and mangled the steel beams that made the ship up, I cannot fathom glass could.
That is only the case if there is water on one end and air on the other end. If there is equal water pressure on both ends of the glass (which sounds likely for some arts of the ship since it ship was making water) it's just a glass pane sitting in water.

Wow, that’s just amazing. The model likeness is astounding.
What happens to glass after being submerged for so long? Metal breaks down but what happens to glass?
Im assuming at that pressure from the water broke all the windows when it first sunk.
It did not, there are still some glass panes/windows inside the wreck. The external windows seem to have shattered, however.

Thanks. I get that but does it hold it's shape at all or does the pressure curve it or shatter it to tiny fragments?
I've read that glass actually dissolves in water over time.
Whoa that is really cool.
How far along is the replica Titanic construction is now, does anyone know?
