icebergs

Just got back from a Vegas trip and stayed in the Luxor where they have a Titanic Exhibit including the "Big Piece" of the hull. Had a happy hour at a Luxor's restaurant where some bargoers had visited the Exhibit and lots of Titanic conversations erupted with the fire being a popular topic...

Hello everyone, if they had seen the iceberg in time and avoided the collision succesfully, what would they have done next? Stop all the machines and rested for the entire night, or would Smith still have ordered to continue with “low speed”? Would the thought of having “almost” collided with...

Of her 3M rivets, approximately how many rivets failed due to the iceberg strike? Dozens, hundreds, thousands, etc?

The Lakewood Film, Art and Book (FAB) Fest is proud to announce a riveting and informative presentation centered on the 15 April 1912 sinking of the mighty RMS Titanic, the newest and largest passenger ship afloat. Our presenter is historian Peter Cook a member of both the “Titanic Historical...

While Halifax had its eyes on the wild prospect of a $300-million Titanic replica on the waterfront—which, as you may remember, sank before its maiden voyage—another Titanic attraction was quietly setting up shop in the background. Titanic expert Larry Daley opened Titanic & Iceberg in late...

The International Ice Patrol was born from tragedy. After the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, the group was formed to monitor the movement of icebergs in the North Atlantic and keep mariners safe. More than 110 years later, the team continues to plot ice from the air and advise...

A Norwegian cruise ship that set sail on a nine-night trip smashed into an iceberg, as is evident from a video shared by passengers on-board. https://www.livemint.com/news/world/its-titanic-2-0-passenger-as-norwegian-cruise-ship-hits-iceberg-in-alaska-watch-video-11656596388078.html

The calm conditions on the night are often used to explain why the iceberg was difficult to see since there would be no surf against it. However, if even if there was a slight surf how would it have been possible to see it without any directional lights? Would the masthead light generate...

Today, on the 110th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, I have released a new animated video of the collision between the "unsinkable" and the "unthinkable" re-imagined in a single, uninterrupted, 360-degree shot, set to the 1912 Titanic poem "Convergence of the Twain" by Thomas Hardy...

If this topic has already been aired, I apologise, but I am still going to do it. Yes, it is my opinion that the Titanic need not have hit the iceberg! When the berg was sighted and the bridge crew informed, two orders were issued, to turn to port and engines to full astern. That last order...

I'm not sure if anyone is interested, the Weekend Update on this weekend's Saturday Night Live had a mock interview with the iceberg that sank the Titanic.

I was searching through the Encyclopedia Titanica forums for a thread that dealt specifically with what we know of the Titanic iceberg itself. Unfortunately, I haven't found one that focused entirely upon the anatomy of that iceberg. There are posts/threads about the various photographs which...

Was the Hull near G-Deck, (for example, the Mail Room) damaged in the collision? As soon, or immediately after, the Mail Room was reported to be flooding, and as we know, the Mail Clerks began to try to drag the mailbags up to Higher Ground. Being the closest Deck to the top of the waterline...

Would Titanic capsize? Or would she sink bodily? Maybe the water could flow towards the bow/stern?

The Titanic as she appeared on April 14th-15th, 1912.

Rare photograph of probable Titanic iceberg set to be auctioned.... Wed, 17 Jun 2020 Read more...

Did Titanic experience any roll/loll when it turned hard to starboard/port? If Titanic was at or near top velocity prior to sighting of the iceberg, is it possible that it experience any yawning or rolling during the emergency "hard to starboard" maneuver? The reason that I ask is that so many...

Look! I was just browsing through Google, and I found this image showing how bad the damage from the iceberg was from the collision, and it had a man added next to the hole to give off an idea about how big the damage was. Well, I'll be damned. No wonder the Titanic sank. How are you supposed...

I've read a few accounts, and each one of them stated that there was "no sound" or "just a light sound". Honestly, I'm confused. Why would the ripping of the hull by massive knives of ice not be heard or felt?

Greetings! I was speaking with a friend recently about Titanic. He is an amateur sailor and said that he was always puzzled about something. He wondered about the science behind why the iceberg didn't cause damage along the entire starboard side of the ship. He felt that a starboard-side...
