In the early hours of April 15, 1912, the Titanic slipped beneath the waves of the North Atlantic, leading to the deaths of 1,500 passengers and crew.
Tomasina Ray, director of collections at RMS Titanic Inc, stated: 'People ask all the time: How long is Titanic going to be there? We just don't know but we're watching it in real time.'
During an expedition over July and August this year, remote-operated vehicles found that a 4.5m (14 ft) section of the bow railing is now missing, which has fallen onto the seafloor.
Commenters on social media expressed their sadness over the discovery, stating that it makes them cry to see the Titanic age and deteriorate.
