watertight doors

Following the titanic disaster, I know the Olympic underwent a major refit, raising some bulkheads and adding an inner skin. I know that the Britannic was also altered to also fit these plans. Were the Britannic and Olympics new bulkhead design identical? I can only find images of Olympics...

In this film, Murdoch orders the watertight doors closed moments BEFORE the Titanic hits the iceberg. It seems to me that this film is implying that Murdoch realized the Titanic was too close to avoid the iceberg and that the collision was imminent and that he ordered the doors closed as a...

As most of us know; the Olympic was nearly identical to the Titanic save for her exposed Promenade deck and nameplates... If this was the case, in 1911 (before her watertight doors were fixed due to the issues the Titanic disaster brought to light) how is it possible that the Olympic survived...

Hello everyone, Once more I'm asking for help if someone knows the answer to my question : at the British Inquiry, Lightoller was asked by Mr Roche about the watertight doors and something about the piping from question 14543 and the following. Here's the web link : TIP | British Wreck...

*sigh* this one again, eh? There's been a lot of study on this theory Sandy. Frankly, and no offense intended to you personally, it's a load of crap, probably dreamed up by some hack to sell a poorly researched book or documentary. Tank tests with models have shown Titanic would have lost power...

First off, greetings everyone. Now that I've finished my introduction on another thread, I'd like to pose my first question. Here goes. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Titanic was capable of opening hatches or something of the sort near her stern. I believe it said they were located...
