Titanic Was Meant to Sink, Here's the Proof

Everyone knows this story: the "unsinkable" Titanic hit an iceberg. The tragedy happened over 100 years ago but even a century later the Titanic remains the most notorious shipwreck in history.
The Titanic illustrates how technological failures often result from a succession of missteps, small failures and bad luck rather than one big mess-up. What if the Titanic sank today - would the scenario be different?

Using the iceberg as a floating survival thing was never a consideration and would never have worked. By the the time the Titanic actually stopped the iceberg was probably half a mile or more astern in the dark.

well, technically by law the titanic had enough lifeboats, the sinking of the ship was one of the reasons the law was changed, it wasnt to save jp morgan money and it wasnt because it was deemed unsinkable but the actual laws at the time which supported the amount of life boats.

[@Zweefduiker]

the thing is, Titanic only had time to launch 15 out of 16 lifeboats. Even if there were more they would run out of time.

[@tommyhemlock7915]

Captain Smith carried on at full speed despite ice warnings because that was standard practice on all ships on all shipping lines, and they would only reduce speed when they physically sighted ice. The Titanic actually carried more lifeboats than it was legally required to. In those days, the number of boats a ship had to have was calculated by tonnage, not passenger numbers, and the reason a lot of boats went away not full was the strict “women and children only” edict of the day that was rigidity enforced by First Officer Lightoller in particular. The ship was never claimed to be unsinkable by either the builders or the owners. The press in those days were as sensationalist as they are today, and it was they that dubbed it unsinkable.

[@aryanpathak2836]

1.Titanic ship is unsinkable is claimed by titanic company at that time. they run advertisements and claimed that ship is unsinkable 2. According to regulation titanic had to carry 63 lifeboats but it carry only 20 . It's reason behind this is they think titanic ship is unsinkable. its does not need more life boat 3. Many ships warned titanic at that night about icebergs but they ignore those warnings. Titanic captain Edward Smith has told the company vice chairman Bruce Ismay that. we had to slow the speed of titanic we have ice bergs warnings. Bruce Ismay fold the warnings paper and took it in his pocket. He made the pressure on captain to maintain full speed of titanic. Ismay thinks if titanic reach us in 5 days instead of 6 days. This proves titanic is not only the luxurious ship but also the fastest ship 4. That night people sitting in crows Nest was not have binoculars.the key of locker is missing in whic binocular kept. There are many factors. Responsible for titanic sinking but I think the main reason is that they ignore warnings

By the time the severity of the situation was fully realized by Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith, the iceberg was miles away, so there was no way they could use the iceberg as a life raft. That was a plot device from the novella "Futility" (alternate title "The Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson published in 1898. Robertson has his ship the Titan, which is the largest ship of the day, run aground on an iceberg in the (surprise, surprise) North Atlantic and ripping its keel out, with some of the survivors evacuating to the berg before the ship slips off and sinks. Also it was the owners of Titanic, The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company or White Star Line, who in a cost saving move set the number of life boats to 14 main boats, two secondary boats and 4 collapsible boats with a total capacity of about 1500 for a ship that could carry 3200, incidentally in full compliance with British Board of Trade lifeboat requirements. Also in compliance with BOT requirements, there had yet to be a full lifeboat drill for even the crew let alone a briefing for the passengers about lifeboat stations or procedures.

[@mirandab8892]

The main hull structure of large ships -- including cruise ships -- is typically constructed of STEEL, not aluminum. Although superstructures are often made of aluminum or other non-ferrous materials to reduce weight and keep centers of gravity low, the basic hulls, keels, and framing are usually steel. The larger the ship the more likely this will be the case. Heavy steel is MUCH easier to work with than heavy aluminum - and WAY cheaper, too. Welding aluminum requires extensive preheating of the work area to fairly exact tolerances, and the heavier the aluminum the more complicated and drawn out the pre- and post-heating regimens will be. Heavy steel can often be welded with relatively simple arc/stick welding techniques that are much more forgiving of environmental fluctuations. As for the Titanic, it was constructed at a time when riveted iron construction was the predominant method of building ships. Larger ships were already reaching their practical size limit, however, and a shift from iron to steel as a building material was just coming into play. Likewise, riveted steel construction was reaching its limits, and welded steel was the nascent metal shipbuilding method on the near horizon. These factors also played a serious part in the Titanic disaster.

Some things to consider: * Using the iceberg that hit the ship as a temporary haven for the passengers is both an exercise in futility and poor decision-making. Engines were run during the damage inspection and by the time it was completed, more than 15 minutes after the collision, it was determined that the better decision was to make a complete stop and relieve the boilers' pressure as the incoming sea water would've made them explode, so going after the iceberg (any iceberg in fact) would've resulted in the ship sinking much sooner than the nearly 3 hours it stayed afloat. * That photograph is not from Britannic's explosion but the Olympic crash, it is of course not comparable to the ones that sunk its sister ships and no one was injured, the ship it collided with got sunk in WWI and Violet wasn't onboard the HMS Hawke, so in reality she survived 2 shipwrecks. * There are better uses for your money in my opinion for the Titanic "experience": The Harland & Wolff offices with its massive drawing room in Belfast are now a hotel and the restaurant of the White Swan hotel in Northumberland boasts the paneling, stained glass and ceiling from its sister ship the Olympic. You can also, as Molly Brown did, organize and use your money to realize Robert Ballard's idea of cleaning and painting the hull to make it last longer (and I mean a lot longer than the predicted century that will last) so not only you but future generations will be able to see it. By the way, if you want to know how much that same expedition to the Titanic cost before the study that calculated its rapidly deteriorating condition was published, it was $70,000.

[@harrietharlow9929]

There was nothing wrong with the steel--it was tested in the 1990s the steel was found to actually be fine.. It was rivets that were sheared off. This was because the areas up where the bows become narrower and the turn of the bilge could not be machine-riveted. This meant hand riveting with iron rivets rather than steel. These could become very brittle and when she sideswiped the ice berg , those rivet heads sheared off, allowing the steel plates to separate. The rest of the critique seems pretty solid. Another thing not helping was that she took on a list, making loading and or lowering harder. On the side the ship was listing towards, the boats swung out farther than if the ship was fully upright making it difficult for them to be loaded. On the other side, lowering was made difficult because the lifeboats scraped against the rivets in the hull. Oh, and Captain Smith DID tell the lookouts to keep a sharp lookout for small ice, bergs, and "growlers" (a type of low-lying iceberg). It didn't help that the sky was moonless and the water was still.

You might not have been able to have as much fun on an early 20th century ocean liner (especially if you couldn't afford first class ameneties), but if you overlook the chance of drowning if your ship hit an iceberg and the fact that it took a week to cross the Atlantic, I'd bet most people would find travelling on a ship a LOT more comfortable and pleasant than traveling on a plane.

@@Mike1064abTrue… but to have 4 maybe 5 people in a room for steerage. Rats on the ship. You name it, it was down there. I think I saw steerage would still cost you like 800-1000$ in todays time.

[@stevefranks6541]

Greetings, That is totally untrue and patently false!

[@MsJfraser]

With the four collapsible lifeboats, RMS Titanic exceeded the Board of Trade requirement regarding lifeboat capacity which stipulated a vessel of 10,000 tons or more to carry 16 lifeboats with a total capacity of 9,625 cubic feet (272.5 m3), sufficient for 960 people. The original distress call was CQD which Titanic utilized and then switched over to the recently implemented and more recognizable SOS, becoming the first to send an SOS distress call. Operating a radio was a bit of a specialized field conveying administrative and personal traffic to and from shore. A vessel with a light traffic load would typically carry only a single operator working the better part of sixteen hour days. The radio on Titanic had broken down on April 14. Phillips and McBride spent their waking and sleeping hours repairing it on their own initiative. A considerable number of messages had accumulated which Phillips was trying to clear when advised by Californian's operator of ice with a very loud signal. The radio operator has been replaced by a facsimile machine through shore facilities or satellite. Functional radar for a ship was still thirty years away, orbiting satellites still forty five years away. Visual lookouts was the only warning system then, and to a lesser degree still used today.

[@paulheenan9098]

CQ D is not a distress signal, but a generic term used exclusively by Marconi operators. "CQ" means "all stations" (i.e, all the ships in the area) and "D" meant "in need of assistance". Titanic wasn't sending out a distress call, she was telling other ships she was in need of aid without actually stating what aid she required, causing confusion onboard Frankfurt, a nearby German ship that would have arrived by 2am, in time to save more people than Carpathia did. Since CQ D was vague and time consuming (in the same manner that the Germans used the equally vague "SOE"), it was agreed by all the wireless companies in 1906 that "SOS" would be used as an international distress signal understandable to all ships and was implemented in 1908. As such, Titanic was not the first vessel to use the "SOS" call. The first recorded use was by an American vessel in August 1909, with many more ships using it in the following 3 years. Titanic was, however, the first recorded British flagged ship to do so.

[@A-Microwave]

add to the fact that the binoculars were in a lock box where the only key for it was with a guy who didn't make it on to the ship

[@mfoco1]

No, it was not a clerical error that the lookouts didn't have binoculars. Those would have made it harder to spot a 'berg, because you'd have to be looking straight at something to see it. Ordinarily, captains did not want lookouts trying to identify things with binoculars, their job was only to notify the bridge that they could see something. Scientists now believe they didn't see the 'berg because of light-refraction.

Some tidbits of information. But bizarrely, the video launches without warning or context into an in-depth examination of the difficulties of evacuating the passengers onto an iceberg using a gangplank and lifeboats, despite this never ever been mentioned before as a possibility, let alone standard procedure. And some of the real difficulties that prevented many of the lifeboats being used (once the ship listed too far the derricks could not lower them properly into the water) were ignored.

[@theduke7539]

A direct impact Might have been better, but it also might not have been. With a riveted hull made from forged and cast iron plates, the hull would have buckled. There would have been structural damage through the entire ship and it's likely multiple hull plates would have delaminated and lead to flooding all over the ship. Think of a car crash, the damage isn't just restricted to the front. As the car comes to a stop, the back of the car continues forward under inertia and crushes the middle of the car. Same thing with a ship. An impact with the iceberg would probably have put a near unheard of level of G force shock into the ship

[@Tintin4]

No the metal would have bent and taken the forces but the ship would have been very damaged but only the front. It is very likely that it would have survived but with deaths in the front.

It was not “meant to sink” bro. She was built the same as every other ship, with the same materials as all other ships of her era. There had never been a disaster as bad as Titanic and there had never been an incident where a ship had more than 1/3 of her total length opened up to the sea. The fact that she stayed afloat for nearly three hours after hitting an iceberg that was 5 times heavier than she was and that damaged 1/3 of her total length is a testament to her strength and shows how much her crew tried to keep her floating for as long as possible. Titanic changed EVERYTHING in shipping. Before she went down, she didn’t do anything that was out of the ordinary and she wasn’t meant to sink.
