When the ship broke apart, it’s likely that the heavy bow swung down, leaving the buoyant stern on the surface. Did the stern have enough buoyancy hold the bow in a downward vertical position while it floated horizontally as shown here?
Or would the bow be heavy enough to drag the stern down as soon as the bow achieved 90°?
