The corroded bow with its towing hauser chain, of AE2, Stoker’s submarine, scuttled on April 30, 1915. Fishing nets and ropes scrape protective algae and marine growth from metal surfaces, baring them to the water and aiding corrosion. The bow is also being physically distorted by the pulling of the ropes and nets. Karabiga, Canakkale Province, Turkey
