[QUOTE="jeffjenlucas, post: 384761, member: 161071"] The damage on the Britanic was of a different nature, one big gash on the bow, but the water tight door between boiler room 6 and 5 did not shut properly, and portholes were left open to let the morning air in. Captain Bartlett decided to make a run for it to the shore of an island. It seemed like Britanic sank faster because of that. And of course, the launching of lifeboats while the ship was racing to shore was ridiculous. Britanic took on as much water in ten minutes as Titanic did in one hour. [/QUOTE]
