Would it have been possible to raise the starboard side out of the water?

[Oliver K]

Hello, my question is, if the berg damaged the starboard side, then couldn't the crew just of pumped water into the port ballast tank, therefor taking the damage out of the water?


Helpful and interesting discussion is always appreciated

flooding portside tanks while emptying starboard tanks would still not create sufficient change as water was already entering ship and the flooding would negate any effort
