After splitting in two, Titanic's water-filled bow and relatively buoyant stern were still connected by a section of keel plating. As the bow was pulled under, it pulled the stern upward, and finally detached. The stern was held up by the immense weight of its engines, and remained vertical for about a minute before slowly filling with water and sinking.
