[QUOTE="James Eldridge, post: 87519, member: 197806"] Greetings, My reason for posing this question is based on my own experience with my yacht striking a log and getting holed near the starboard bow a few years ago. While the damage looked minor (a slight crack) water seemed to be seeping through fast I was terrified of the idea of losing my vessel and headed full speed for the nearest marina which fortuantely, I made safely. I suppose after reading the learned posts above that a vessel like the Titanic would have sunk faster or exploded had Captain Smith ordered the same action and he was a bit farther from a friendly shore than my Corinthian was.

In which year did the Titanic sail?
