sinking

This animated short that I arranged for the 112th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, is a commemoration to the 1,496 lives lost in the sinking and 712 survived. Revised collision scene.

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...

When Carpathia picked up Titanic’s lifeboats how far was that location from what we know today to be Titanic’s actual sinking position? Another way of asking the question is how far did Titanic’s lifeboats travel before they were picked up?

Did any survivors hear the bulkhead buckling in due to the weight of the water and did some of them buckle

During the sinking of the Titanic, the degree of angle would have obviously worsened as the sinking progressed, could already submerged rooms 'resurface' as the angle worsened and water left/pooled at the bottom of the room? Apologies for the horrible grammar

Hello, by curiosity, what would you consider the most contrversial aspect of the tragedy? I'd go for the californian affair, the salvage debate and the crew suicide . While there are multiple interpretation of his action, there doesn't seems to be much controversy with smith beside the theories...

i have 3 big questions about electrical system function after collision. 1. what caused the breakers tripping so forward boiler rooms were engulfed in darkness? how they solved this problem? did power go out in few/couple cabins aswel at time of the boiler rooms losing lights?. 2. did...

Here is something that I thought about today. Think about what we know now about how the Titanic sank and apply it to a different spot where it struck the iceberg. If the Titanic sank about 80-100 miles north of where it actually sank it would have sunk in a section of the North Atlantic called...

Today is the 80th anniversary of the sinking of the Oria, the greatest maritime disaster to have ever occurred in the Mediterranean Sea, and one of the greatest maritime disasters in history - yet almost completely forgotten outside of the country that was directly affected. Oria was a smallish...

It's just what the title says. I have compiled every account of Britannic's sinking I could find, including some I believe have not been published. It took a lot of searching through online newspaper archives to find those! My ultimate goal is to compile source material (from official documents...

As you know, hot steam is very dangerous. Exposure to it can cause permanent damage, including burns. Maybe that's why I remember the steam exposed fireman depicted in the titanic films. Was anyone actually hurt like that? *i used a translator Titanic(1997) s.o.s. titanic(1979)

Hello, Out of curiosity, did Billy Carter’s Renault car survive? I presume it should have because unlike other areas of the ship, the cargo holds and the boiler rooms had a “slow flooding affect” just like the Turkish Baths (if it had a “fast flooding affect” I would presume the items would have...

Hello everyone, Have any survivors ever believed this disaster was an act of God or were there those who rejected rational reasoning for this fatal outcome? Like were there survivors who believed in a „supernatural“ connection regarding the Titanic? I know Lightoller himself owed his own...

Structural response of a steel bulkhead subjected to localised heating... Titanica! Mon, 17 Jul 2023 This paper reports research to investigate the theory that a fire in the Titanic's coal bunker could had weakened a steel bulkhead accelerating the sinking...

Hello, Does anyone know what Harland and Wolff do after the news of the sinking reached Belfast. I understand that they closed the shipyard for the day but I presume more things would have been done to remember the sinking

When Lusitania was scheduled to arrive in Liverpool on 6 March 1915, Trade Division signalled Lusitania at Cunard’s request, relaying: ,”Owners advise keep well out. Time arrival to cross bar without waiting.” Admiral Henry Oliver also sent two destroyers, HMS Laverock and HMS Louis to...

For some period of time during the sinking, Titanic had to vent the excess steam that had built up in her boilers. The sound of the steam being vented was quite loud, so loud that the wireless operators were unable to make out the messages they were receiving. This leads me to ask: how long was...

Hello everyone, Are there any titanic survivors who intentionally spread lies about the sinking or their survival? I hope this question doesn’t come off disrespectful because I know all of them must have been immensly traumatized, but I have seen so many differing reports or unbelievable...

Here's a test of Titanic's stern sinking for a new game called Titanic: Echoes of the Deep, which recently came up in my feed: It looks good so far.

- Second Officer Charles Lightoller So the ship lurched forward/down so dramatically that it was enough to drown many people all at once. Yet it's hardly a noticeable event on virtually all of the sinking simulation videos. Why? I recently asked someone this actual event. Supposedly this was...
