Hello, compare to the bow who's less damaged, I wonder how much of the stern interior is left considering how it sank. I'll have to chec if any of the recent expedition have done interior exploration of the stern.
Thanks for your answers!
The 1997 film depicts about 200 still on the stern after the breakup.
Is this accurate? Survivor testimony and opinions are welcome. Curious about this as well as how many people were actually clinging to the stern for the final plunge.

Would the stern section have stayed afloat if all port windows were ordered closed? The stern section had the water tight doors closed, and with the ports closed, would the stern have stayed afloat long enough for the Carpathia to get there?
The ship broke behind the third funnel, but it was...
My Theory Of Titanic's Break up is that after Titanic lights shut off Began break on the starboard/right side slowly during this process listing to Port a few more degrees it was before titanic broke up then the Third full collapses damage smashing into the boat deck and the fourth funnel does...
now this completely depends on how low in the water titanic was. but assuming she had a 15 degree trim by the time the grand staircase dome was halfway submerged. could the stern pull the bow out of the water by a few feet?
Hello all,
I have noticed that after WW1 (it seems) it became much more common for liners to fly their ensign from a gaff on the mainmast, rather than the stern exclusively, as with most liners pre-war, such as Oceanic 2, Lusitania and Mauretania, and the Olympic trio. Those that survived the...
I've been a Titanic fanatic since 1986, and so am at once frustrated and intrigued by the following question. I am looking for a rivet pattern around the registration lettering on the counter. I've been looking at photos of Olympic/Hawke damage to form a best guess as to what the pattern might...
Hi Y'all!
I found a Second Class Dining Saloon Tile, lying on the Second Class Entrance of the Stern. (Located in the NOAA 2003 Footage)
Good eye, huh? I'm the First to spot it!! :D
In his very well researched and presented article in which he re-examines the launch times of the Titanic's lifeboats, Bill Wormstedt says that Second Officer Lightoller was one of the officers who was present during loading and/or launching of the port stern lifeboats. Specifically, Wormstedt...
Hi!
A recent thing that has been going through my mind is: How did the Forward and Aft Tower Debris break away from the Stern? Or better yet, did they break away during the initial break up at the Surface? And their journey to the Bottom?
A quick Rundown of what the "Hull Towers" are:
There are...
So I'm wondering what you guys think would have happened if the stern somehow manage to stay afloat. I for onw think that they would have either towed it to New York for scrapping or tow it back to Liverpool to get the forward part rebuilt. I'm also wondering how it would have altered the amount...
In Ghosts of the Abyss, Pellegrino tells Us that combined, the stern’s decks are no more than 12-15 feet tall, and the shape of the Turbine is easily seen as the largest shape in the middle, as the decks have collapsed around it.
this was in 2001 and simply not true.
based off of the 2003 NOAA...
Hi y'all. the following images are from the 2003 NOAA expedition. I tried to my best to start with a Stern "Flyover" Please enjoy!

Engine casing maybe?

Above is my conceptualized path Charles Pelligrino and PH Nargeolet took into the stern section in his book, "Ghosts of the Titanic."The blue is the path he most likely took, I think. He described entering the Starboard side, and exploring the Pantry and Bakery. I looked at the Deckplans, and...
While many people say the stern flipped to port, I think the Stern, after breaking from the bow, did go 90 degrees. Why? Because most of the survivors reported so. To Lucy Duff Gordon, Titanic looked like "A giant finger pointing at the sky" Jack Thayer noted the propellers were standing up...
