  1.  @SAOS451316  Propellers will survive a long time, and the anchors will soon enough also have the chain rust through, dropping them into the ooze, where they will, along with the ceramic parts and the bottom hull, survive for centuries, buried deep in silt, and gradually in limestone. Also things like lead sheathed cable as well, the lead protecting the inner insulation somewhat, and the copper cores doing the same, so the main power lines will still be there in some form after a few centuries, though the steel wrapping will be long gone. Junction boxes as well, steel casting long gone, but the cable in the lead wipe, the ceramic insulators and some of the brass still there in the bitumen fill.

  2. White paint surviving mostly because it is lead based, so the bacteria do not survive long when attempting to digest the linseed oil that is a binder and adhesion material. The hull also the same, though there the lead based paint is also mixed with copper as well, and lots of iron oxide as a filler and allowing a thick layer to be applied.
