Depends how many thousand years you're talking about. Two? Three? Five? Twenty? It changes.
Let's start at the basic. The wreck as we know her today, this
won't. This much of her will be gone in hundreds, not thousands, of years, starting at the thinner superstructure, then being eaten away between the actual frames of the ship, until just the framing remains.
And eventually, after hundreds and hundreds of years, even those will be eaten away. So it sounds like the answer is 'no,’ right? Nothing will remain after thousands of years.
Well, not necessarily. See, there is one part of Titanic that will last beyond the frames, after the rest of the entire ship has been eaten.
The ship's bronze propellers. Since they're made of bronze, which is more difficult for the sea life to eat, they'll remain on the ocean floor for thousands of years after the rest of Titanic has been eaten away.
Eventually those massive screws will be the only thing remaining of the massive ocean liner, and after three or four thousand years even they will be gone. The only trace of Titanic remaining might be an iron deposit on the bottom of the ocean, if even that remains.
