How big was the gash in the Titanic after it hit the iceburg?
It was approximately 300 feet long, on the front starboard side of the vessel.
It is now generally believed by marine archaeologists that the iceberg punched the gash rather than tore it, pressure between the 'berg and the ship's hull causing the riveted plates to buckle and collapse.
There actually was no "gash," instead the Titanic was brought down by a series of small gaps between the iron plates in her hull. The iron used to build the Titanic had a weak composition. Coupled with the freezing water, the iron plates and rivets became very brittle. When Titanic struck the iceberg, several iron rivets were knocked out of place, which allowed the iron plates to separate. Since this happened below sea level, the pressure of the surrounding ocean is what caused the sea water to rush in so quickly. This happened along 5 compartments in the Titanic, and she could only float with 4 compartments filled. Talk about bad luck.
There was no 'hole' as such, the iceberg buckled the plates which allowed water to flow into the gap it created.

the Titanic was damaged from the bottom towards 3rd class. A few slits opened and bolts came out from the pressure around 600,000 and that is how the water started to fill in. It scraped the titanic's bottom.
Some people say before it sanked it was 882 feet and 9 inches. But when it sanked it was 552 feet and 10 inches.
The ice berg punctured the first five air tight compartments. Which i believe was made of iron, and though the ship would have been able to stay afloat with 4 of the compartments flooded, five was one too many. This caused the boat to plunder to its death during its Maiden Voyage, April 14, 1912.
About 300 feet long on the starboard side.
Where is the grave of the passengers that died on the Titanic?
Many of the Titanic victims are buried in the Halifax Cemetery in Halifax,Nova Scotia,Canada. There are a couple of rows of them.
"When droplets of melted snow drip down an icicle, they release small amounts of heat as they freeze. Heated air travels upwards and helps slow down the growth of the icicle's top, while the tip is growing rapidly."
Why do you remember the events and voyage of the Titanic?
Most people would say that we must keep the memory of the 1,496 people that perished in the sinking of Titanic. While that is true, the implicit need is for the memory of the lessons learned from the sinking.
Why did the Titanic disaster happen?
the reason the Titanic struck the iceberg (in my opinion) is because Bruce Ismay instructed for the captain to speed up because he thought that if he arrived at new york earlier than everyone would be surprised and he would break records and win an award, so when the lookout spotted the iceberg it was to late...
What types of sharks live in the sunken titanic?
None- it's way too deep for any sharks to live in, lying at 2.5 miles down on the bed of the Atlantic.
No shark is capable of diving to such extreme depths, let alone living at them- their swim-bladders would simply burst due to the extreme pressure. There have been reports that giant squid are capable of attaining such depths, but they would not live in the area where the Titanic wreck is as the water is too cold for them.
The type of marine life found in and around the wreck of the Titanic is small, consisting of grenadier fish, certain types of spiny starfish, angler fish, various forms of deep-sea coral such as sea-pens, and other species that are adapted to cope with the extreme deep.

What were the Titanic's coordinates when it sunk?
The coordinates for the wreck of the Titanic are:
41o43'55" N; 49o56'45" W
The Titanic would have hit the iceberg about 2 or 3 km east of this point, and was carried to this point by it own momentum before it sank.
Where did titanic stop on the way?
She called briefly at Cherbourg after leaving Southampton, where a single French passenger disembarked, and then at Queenstown (now renamed Cobh) in Co.Cork, Southern Ireland, where she took on many of the Irish emigrants who were victims of the tragedy.
The Frenchman who survived the disaster, upon hearing of it, declared himself to be the luckiest man in the world.
Has anyone swam down to the ship reck of titanic when it sank?
Many people have dived to the wreck of Titanic in submersible vehicles but only in the last few decades. Nobody can swim even a fraction of the distance underwater - at the time of the sinking or now.
Could the titanic have steamed backwards to the California after she struck the iceberg?
Probably not. It took the Californian two hours to reach the Carpathia in daylight. Had it proceeded to the scene immediately after the launch of the first rocket, it would have taken even longer to steer through the ice field in the dark. By then, those in the water would've already frozen to death.
How long will titanic be in theaters?
One weekened and grossed a pathetic $2.2 million at box office. Probably cuz of all the bloopers...forth smokestack
How long did the titanic take to sink to the bottom of the ocean floor?
Her main section broke apart from the stern when it was just below the surface, so began to sink at c.2am. The stern remained afloat for about another 20 minutes before going under.
The bow would already have hit the sea bed when the stern began to sink.
Did the Titanic crew wear a uniform?
In keeping with the stratified view of society at the time the crew were all given appropriate wear. Officers and those that mingled with the patrons generally had several grades of uniform for weather conditions (e.g. tropical), social occasions (e.g. dinner wear). The uniforms also indicated their rank and function. Servant types and engine and deck crew had fewer choices.
What went wrong that caused people to die in the Titanic?
The iron rivets that held together the metal that covered the ship weren't strong enough. So when the titanic hit the iceberg on it's side, the iron rivets popped out of their place due to the extremepressure Since the iron rivets were no longer attaching the metal to the ship. The sides of the titanic collapsed, letting in an extreme amount of water that filled the boiler rooms, then worked it's way up to cabins, until the ship had sunk.
Which passengers left the sinking ship first?
The passengers who left the sinking ship first were the women and their children
How has the titanic been remembered?
well it was remembered because it at the time titanic was the worlds largest ship and they said it was unsinkable so they only put out half of the life boats needed on it because they thought it was unsinkable. more than half the people died on it when it sunk. plus it was the most famous shipwreck in the world and they made a really famous movie out of it so personally i think the titanic will be remembered for many more years.
How many compartments of the Titanic were filled with water?
RMS Titanic's first five compartments filled with water following a brush-by collision with an iceberg. The ship probably could have floated with as many as four compartments flooded, but with the loss of the fifth, the ship's head (or bow) was pulled down to a point where the rising water was able to spill over the tops of the following bulkheads one after the other, dooming the ship.
How long did it take to build the propellers of the titanic?
The first piece of steel for Titanic was laid down on March 31st, 1909 (Keel Day) and there were still finishing touches on the vessel to be done, like painting, as late as April 10th, 1912, Sailing Day.
What ports of call did the Titanic have?
RMS Titanic called at Liverpool and Southampton, but wasn't carrying paying passengers. After leaving Southampton with paying passengers, she called at Cherbourg and Queenstown (now called Cobh).
Cobin (previously Queenstown), Ireland was the last stop it made before heading to New York City
