Re: the wheelhouse- Titanic hit the sea floor at about 30 knots (35 mph) so there were huge hydrodynamic forces acting on a very flat non-hydrodynamic surface, so it definitely makes sense that if holes were punched in it by the mast, the force of water would have ripped it up. Excellent videos, man. I’ve been onboard from about 300 subscribers and am glad to see this becoming so successful!

"Charles Wilson, who carved the central portion of the “Honour and Glory Crowning Time,” remembered that when the Titanic finally set sail from Belfast there had not been time to set a clock into the ornate carved panel over her First-Class Staircase, and a mirror had to be substituted until the clock arrived."

Great video! I think you are correct about the way the bow travelled down and the downblast theory, but I feel with how deep the stem and forward bow are buried, she came in fairly flat but at an angle, dug in, then the after section of the bow slammed the bottom then the downblast. Notice how the bow is buckled under the bridge/ forward superstructure area. My apologies if this is what you are saying, but the video of the bow landing on the sea floor looked too flat too me. You have to wonder what those on titanic would think of so many people talking about her after 109 years!

When my brother and I were kids, our parents built us a Halloween Titanic costume out of PVC pipe. It was wrapped in black fabric and painted with details like the windows, bolts, the 2 colors of the ship itself. It had the smoke stacks(but only 3) the deck was painted like wood to. I mean they really went all out making this. It stood like 4 foot tall from the ground to the deck and about 6 feet long. Big enough for me and my brother to fit inside. The coolest part was it could be separated into 2 pieces. I had the front, my brother the back. This thing was absolutely legit. Few years later, all the pictures we had of it were lost in a fire.

Another solid video. I don’t know if you would be interested in it, but I would love for you to talk about the many break up theories such as the Mengot Theory, the Banana Peel Theory, and even the V-Break Theory!

[@Sizzlor]

As I understand it, a bottom up break would have separated the lower hull plating from the ribs of the ship, causing them to bow outward at the bottom, as we see today. It would have also cause the upper decks to stretch and bend downward. While the impact with both the sea floor and the down-blast column were most definitely the killing blow, I believe most of the damage at the back of the bow was sustained in the initial break up.

The wheelhouse was destroyed by the debree as the Titanic plunged into the bottom of the ocean and the crows nest did break down after she went under. But it did not bounce around from the water's force. Thank you for reading this!

[@Jack-bv1re]

Great video! I always wondered about the bow of the ship post-sinking

[@r.o7897]

First of, interesting channel you got. I like the information, and how you present it. Question: When Titanic hit the bottom of the ocean. Would that impact, be heard or felt, for those who were still in the water, or maybe even noticeble for those in the lifeboats also?

[@witt-t]

I think why the ships deck collapsed right at the breakup is because there was no supports holding it up because if you look at the movie right as the ship was splitting you see the dining room scene and the supports on the roof are being destroyed so I think when it was falling to the floor it landed super hard bent the bow and there was a huge down blast that smooshed it out of shape. Also loving ur vids

[@jcohasset23]

Certainly a good theory on the Bridge and that does sound very plausible. The down blast effect likely caused a lot of damage to the broken section of the bow when it hit but it seems likely the damage wasn't as severe as the state of the bow was in when Ballard found the wreck in 1985. We've seen in the 35 years since that the area has been slowly collapsing forwards as the structure becomes increasingly compromised so that seems probable.

[@wiskimike]

Nice vid as allways mate :) I think you're right. I didnt like Camerons animation at the point, where the downblast just destroys the aft section of the bow. Think the damage comes from the impact forces. Just look at how the shell looks, the decks inside hadnt any support when it slamed into the seafloor.

[@keithdavis9897]

love these videos and how much you research these very interesting topics

[@kurtallen5683]

Regarding the collapse of the aft portion of the front half, there is a theory that when she broke-up on the surface, instead of the weight pulling down on the strain-relief joint and tearing from the top-down, just the opposite happened. As the stern rose up, two bottom hull plates broke off leaving only the keel on the very bottom of the ship. The front section now underwater kept pulling the stern down caused the stern to momentarily rise causing pressure on the strain-relief and crushing from the top-down before the keel broke apart. In other words crushing both sides of the break, top-down while it when under the surface. It may be something to check out. It's easier to see a simulation rather than describe it, but I hope you can visualize what I am talking about.

[@HufflepuffDaddy]

I would love to see an animation based on this! I agree with most of the visuals I see on YT but I visualize a scenario where a lot of the damage happened at or nearer to the surface and still allows for the correct placement of the pieces on the ocean floor. In other words, the same sequence of events but with earlier and more massive failure near the surface.

[@kurtallen5683]

@@HufflepuffDaddy It was on one of the History Channel''s programs. Sorry I can't remember which Titanic program, but it was a History Channel sponsored dive to the wreck. I think it was shown around 2015, but my memory is pretty thin on that. They found the two bottom hull sections (under the break-up area) on the extreme eastern end to the debris field. They analyzed and came up with theory of the bow and stern crushing into each other from top-down while it was just below the surface (with the stern was still raised above the surface). If true it would explain why the rear of the bow section was caving downward. Of course the stern section is such a mess, who knows what really happened to it. I do believe there were massive implosions of the compressed air trapped inside stern. Witnesses reported seeing large amounts of cork floating on the surface, which most likely from the massive freezer unit(s) after the implosions.

Parts of the compass platform have recently been found. Mainly the compass and a couple of smaller pieces, it was pretty much tore apart as it fell into the wreckage of the break up. A good video idea for you is your thoughts on a new expedition to recover Titanics wireless before the upper decks completely collapse.

[@paulavallone9296]

So interesting to hear your insights on this subject! Cool to see the bigger model of Titanic. For a future topic in a video could you speak to the possible theory that some physicist have of the Titanic sinking at a much slower rate if the water tight doors were left open. Being she would have sunk flatter and would not have been drug down by the head. And also she probably would have not broken up either. Some articles I've read in years past state that she may have stayed afloat much longer, maybe long enough for rescue ships to arrive. And also sinking flatter would have made it easier to get the life boats down her sides and into the water. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

I have acouple of questions: 1) Is watertight doors helps or make all only worse? Can Titanic stay afloat for more time with opened watertight doors? 2) What other ways was for water to get inside Titanic's hull, exept holes from iceberg and (probably) opened d-deck door? 3) There was a carpenters aboard Titanic, so in this situation, when you know what the ship is sinking, and there not enough boats for everyone onboard, and help will come not soon - is was a reason to try to make some rafts, using a wood from decorations, tables, etc?

It's surprising the mast stayed attached at all. It has a large surface area and, being round and somewhat conical, will have vortices forming and trailing behind. The remaining steering gadget on the bridge is called a telemotor. I wonder how it survived and not the telegraphs. It would be hydraulic with plumbing inside so maybe the piping helped secure it whereas the telegraphs would probably be chain and cable driven and less secure.

[@richardt.buryan832]

Yes, the Bridge was simply of wood; it would have blown away as a house in a tornado. Yes, the down-blast would resemble the 'air space' created by a cyclist, behind which a second cyclist can 'draft' behind the front cyclist.

The implosion of the windows of the bridge windows may have been for special effects in the movie, OR, it could actually be the captain literally did shut the doors after entering it. If he did not close the doors, the force of a 20 knot flow of water on the windows may not have broken it. Remember, these ocean liners had to deal with much more harsh conditions than your typical cruise ship of today.

Hey thanks for the comment, I am aware of some of the inaccuracies in the new animation by THG. The biggest issue I have with it is the B collapsable boat and the final plunge. I think it is a bit of a mix between the first animation they did and this one. I think the Titanic did roll onto its side like what the baker said it did. He was drunk but he wasn't flat out waisted. Not to mention we also know the Titanic did have a strong list to port so it does make sense that the stern would roll in the final moments. But I think after it rolled it turned and went vertical like we see in the first animation.

To be honest I have grown tired of ALL the Titanic videos out there. However, I found yours to be very unique and interesting. You cover topics that most people don't. Thank you for posting these. Question though, why is your model flying the American flag?

[@Murph9000]

The theory about the foremast damaging the bridge isn't a bad one, but I would say just the force of the water rushing over it could be sufficient to peel the lightweight structure off. That's based on first hand experience of being hit by a wall of water travelling at around 10 knots. At 30+ knots, the destructive force of water is immense, and would easily strip away any light structures that were anywhere close to perpendicular to the flow. There's also cargo hatch #1 (the main focsle cargo hatch) which detached at some point, and may have impacted the bridge. I'm uncertain of exactly when it detached, but I believe it's in the debris field.

[@brianburgett5894]

In my opinion the crows nest got pulled back by the wireless cables. When the breakup occurred the wire remained connected then they were pulled when the breakup happened. They pull back on the mast until the cables broke . Pulling the mast into the bridge destroying the structure.
