Titanic

The Titanic hit an iceberg it should have missed because she turned too slow due to small rudders. The collision tore a long gash in her port side. As she took on seawater she was sinking slowly by the bow. The Titanic eventually broke in half because of two major designs flaw. First, the bulkheads (walls running port to starboard) were open at the top, this allowed the seawater to pour over defeating the water tight doors below and flooded the next compartment in succession. In time the stern reached a critical angle of about 30 degrees and this created an enormous stress on the keel and a mid-section expansion joint which failed and the Titanic broken in half on the surface and slipped quickly under water.

No. The Titanic sank closer to the North Pole than Antarctica. She sank about 375 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.

Well most of them worked on other white starline ships like the Olympic so they got a jod on titanic. Although the people from Belfast who helped build titanic were asked but not that maney but if you were asked you were very lucky. But if you were asked in Belfast if you were a catholic you were not aloud to go but if you were prodastant you could go that's why if you were catholic you told no one if you were building the titanic if they knew that you were catholic you would most likely be beaten.

Hope this helps

because she was a grand ship that had lots of strong features like the grand staircase and the swimming pool (titanic was first ship to have a pool) she was a floating palace!

Titanic's bow, which sunk in about 5-6 minutes like the stern, crashed into the seabed with such force that it sank about 60 feet into the mud in one second.

They had stuff like having old p[aintings of people and having others and railings made out of gold. And if you ever saw the movie the Titanic then you should have seen that there was a safe and it had loads of money in it that people were dying to have....They just couldn't resist it.Most died holding onto it.

In terms of simple monetary conversion,in 1912, Titanic was built for $7.5M which would be about $400M today.

There is currently a near-identical vessel being built in China but being inland, it has no propulsion (and no fuel) and it's being built to modern codes, so a comparison would be inconsistent.

At this point there are over 400 memorials to Titanic in 21 countries. Many are in New York City, Belfast, and Southampton. Others still have been placed on the wreck herself but salvaged by subsequent expeditions.

Yes, Titanic will continue to erode. The metal plates will buckle, one-by-one. The "rusticles" will multiply and the wreck will fall in on itself. The only thing left to wonder is "how long".

Of the 2208 passengers, 712 people survived, which is roughly a third.

Of the demographics you had :

75% of the women, 19% of the men, and about half the children all were saved.

The weather was mostly clear with sun. When she hit the iceburg the sea was flat (no waves) no rain and in was a new moon (you could not see the moon) but there was freezing wind because of the speed Titanic was moving.

The Britannic Titanic's sister is 93 years old to this day.

ther titanic was deep navy blue, but sice its been ubder water for 97 years, now its white and soft deep blue.

In most states in the U.S., a 17-year-old with a provisional or intermediate license is typically allowed to have one passenger under the age of 21 who is not a family member. However, specific laws can vary by state, so it's important to check the local regulations to understand the exact passenger restrictions. Additionally, some states may have further restrictions based on driving experience or nighttime driving limits.

The towed underewater sled that photograhed Titanic for the first time was Angus. The first submersible to dive on Titanic was the Alvin, originally named for famous explorer Al Vine, but joking named for Alvin the Chipmunk due to its small size and cramped quarters.

• Third class passengers 710
• Third class survivors 174
• Percentage survived 24.5 %
• Third class casualties 536
• Casualty percentage 75.5 %
• 168 men, 93 women and 24 children
• survived the disaster - 14 men, 80 women and 24 children

If you mean the 1997 film then quite well. He did speed up the sinking but only to fit it into the film. Apart from not including some things it was good but he could not have included everything.

The Titanic set sail on 10 April 1912 but hit an iceberg 4 days later and sank.

No definite ones as yet- her wreck is just sitting down there on the bed of the North Atlantic, 2.5 miles down in sub-zero temperatures.

Many marine archaeologists, including Dr. Robert Ballard and his team who discovered her location, have expressed concern that the wreck is deteriorating faster than expected due to corrosion, and have called for it to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and protected as such. But it's difficult to know how this could be done- she lies at such a massive depth, and because she split in half when she sank, is spread over a vast area of at leat a third of a mile. The only sure way of protecting her would be to entomb her and her debris field in a concrete shell, but this would cost billions of US dollars and also prevent future access to marine explorers.

It may also be possible to coat her in a special resin that would prevent any further corrosion from taking place, but again, this would be a huge operation costing a vast amount of money. Most people are resigned to her deteriorating further- she cannot be raised as she is a mass grave site protected under international law, and in any case this would be all but technically impossible due to the extreme ocean depth and also the fragile state of the wreck. The probability is that she will just be left as she is, to slowly disintegrate and break down.

SS Titanic means that Titanic was also called the SteamShip Titanic.

Titanic was the biggest ship. bigger than it's sisters the Olympic and Britannic
No, it was the biggest ship for its time. At the time of her maiden voyage, SS Titanic was the largest ship in the world. Her sister ship SS Olympic was about the same length, but Titanic was heavier by about ten thousand gross tons. Some of this extra weight was from the enclosed screens on A deck, which are one of the main ways that you can tell the difference between the two. Since that time, there have been longer and heavier ships constructed, both liners and cargo vessels with some oil tankers being the largest ships today. There was also the Britannic in that class but she was sunk by a German U Boat when she was a hospital ship carrying injured troops to England during the Great War. Many ships now days are much larger. Air craft carriers are good examples.

Lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee spotted the fatal iceberg. On the bridge, First Officer Lieutenant William Murdoch was the officer of the watch and Quartermaster Robert Hichens was at the helm. All operational decisions between the sighting and the collision were made by Lt Murdoch.
