If 2,500 years of storms have not "irreparably damaged" the sunken vessel by this point in time, how much more damage could another "impending storm" cause?

Unfortunately, the metal structure intended to shield the shipwreck has encountered challenges. It is sinking into the sand at a faster rate than the wreck itself, posing a threat of potential damage.

This seems to be the real reason for the urgency.
