Ocean depth and Ship Length are accurate. i know it looks deeper. but it isnt.
YES, The RMS Lusitania DID NOT hit the ocean bottom while it was sinking.
RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat 11 miles (18 km) off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 passengers and crew. The sinking occurred about two years before the United States declaration of war on Germany. Although the Lusitania sinking was a major factor in building support for a war, war was eventually declared only after the Imperial German Government resumed the use of unrestricted submarine warfare against American shipping in an attempt to break the transatlantic supply chain from the US to Britain, as well as after the Zimmermann Telegram. Lusitania held the Blue Riband appellation for the fastest Atlantic crossing and was briefly the world's largest passenger ship until the completion of the Mauretania three months later. The Cunard Line launched her in 1906 at a time of fierce competition for the North Atlantic trade. She was sunk on her 202nd trans-Atlantic crossing.
German shipping lines were aggressive competitors for the custom of transatlantic passengers in the early 20th century, and Cunard responded by trying to outdo them in speed, capacity, and luxury. Cunard used assistance from the British Admiralty to build Lusitania, on the understanding that the ship would be available as a light merchant cruiser in time of war. She had gun mounts for deck cannons, but no guns were ever installed. Both Lusitania and Mauretania were fitted with turbine engines that enabled them to maintain a service speed of 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph). They were equipped with lifts, wireless telegraph, and electric light, and provided 50 percent more passenger space than any other ship; the first-class decks were known for their sumptuous furnishings.
The Royal Navy had blockaded Germany at the start of the First World War; the UK had declared the North Sea a war zone in the autumn of 1914 and mined the approaches. In the spring of 1915, all food imports for Germany were declared contraband. RMS Lusitania left New York for Britain on 1 May 1915 when German submarine warfare was intensifying in the Atlantic. Germany had declared the seas around the United Kingdom a war zone, and the German embassy in the United States had placed fifty newspaper advertisements warning people of the dangers of sailing on Lusitania. Objections were made by the British that threatening to torpedo all ships indiscriminately was wrong, whether it was announced in advance or not.

The RMS Lusitania DID NOT hit the ocean bottom while it was sinking. The ship sank relatively quickly, within 18 minutes after being torpedoed by the German submarine U-20 on May 7, 1915. During this rapid descent, the Lusitania remained intact and did not break apart, which indicates it did not strike the ocean floor in the shallow waters near the Irish coast where it was torpedoed.
The Lusitania eventually came to rest on the seabed at a depth of about 305 feet (93 meters). It is in this position that the wreck remains to this day, having settled upright on the ocean floor. The depth of the water in the area where the Lusitania sank was sufficient to allow the ship to descend without striking the bottom during the actual sinking process.
I don’t believe you
So basically, the air in the stern was forced out, causing it to slip down under before the ship hit the sea bed. Is that where you're getting at?
You mainly explained how she sank and did not mention why she wouldn’t have hit the bottom while sinking.
Lusitania hit the sea floor as she sank as her hull was longer than the ocean was deep.
Bros info is from the hobo behind the arby's lmao
When lusitania hit the sea floor, it broke into 2. At the famos photo of the lusitania wreck, if you look at the behind the ship you'll see a big hole like when titanic broke in 2.
Its not a definite it hit bottom. It sunk at a weird angle because of tue longitudinal bulkheads which kept the port side more bouyant throughout the sinking
Actually LUSITANIA and her final plunge into the Celtic Sea is still a debating subject as to why she had to sink so fast, but at the moment when the ship landed on the Irish Sea floor the central hull of LUSITANIA broke open where the First Class Lounge and Dining Saloon was located. Sadly we can not or never see the inside of the LUSITANIA First, Second and Third Class accommodations as the entire Cunard Liner has collapsed over 100 years of damages by the sea bacteria and mankind’s destruction on the ship. LUSITANIA Is Forever!
Yeah... that's just 20% accurate
@@dustingriffith7399and the rough seas also made her collapse in the 80-90
Could you do more see through water animations like this?
ofcorse!
Oh this is interesting. I was always under the impression that the bow hit the sea floor before the stern went under. Maybe I'm confusing Lusitania with Britannic.
Yea that's Britannic
There’s debate whether she hit the seabed while her stern was still top side or if she glided, if you will, like in the video (which seems more plausible), especially since her bow is surprising not completely mangled. Either way the impact with the seabed snapped her keel almost cleanly in two. Also it’s unclear if any of her funnels dismounted during the sinking or if it was when she hit bottom.
That’s true
Yeah you DEFINITELY confused the two😂. Lusitania lays in 500 ft water so it was only her aft mast left.
@@ryanindypathere were some accounts that a boiler explosion knocked over the third funnel, but none of the others. Unfortunately just another mystery we won’t know for sure.
Animate the sinking of the Princess of the Stars, 800 deaths and almost noboody knows it.
Someday, one of the developers should make 3D sinking simulator or floating sandbox
or a horror game we desperately need badly in my opinion cuz ships like this always is forgotten which sucks
The 3rd funnel collapsed.
That’s debated
This is amazing
Can you do sinking of oceanos
But instead her starboard never became crushed and her funnels did not collapse and she did not split in half when she hit the seafloor.
Didn't Lusitania hit the seabed first before the entire hull slid beneath the waves? It's the same with Britannic.
No
Noo
Nope thats just Brittanic. Unlike the Olympic class, the Lusitania and her sister had longitudinal bulkheads on top of the normal bulkheads. These split the starboard and port side down the middle, for the length of the ship.
This allowed the starboard side to flooded faster and cleaner. The port side stayed more bouyant throughout the whole sinking. Allowing Lusi to more glide beneath than drop like we usually think of final plunges (thanks 97Titanic).
The bouyant force in the port side fought against the flooded SB side and created something very similar to what CC gave us in this video.
This is an awesome and amazing recreation of the LUSITANIA'S sinking. Can you do one of the S.S. POSEIDON from either the 1972 film The POSEIDON Adventure or the 2006 film POSEIDON? I was just curious and thought I would ask. But only if it's okay with you. Please and Thank you.
Ships don't sink like what is depicted in this video lol, the bow of the ship would have hit the bottom first then the stern would have settled down into the water. There are reports of the ship hitting bottom before the Stern disappeared.
Fun Fact: There were people still alive inside Lusitania when it sank, those people that were for sure alive inside the ship were the ones who were inside the elevators when the power cut off.
That IS "fun".
how is that a ''fun fact'' ?
Wait was her propeller still ON when she sunk?
It was
The engine room was unresponsive so it couldn't be turned off. Same goes for her rudder. The ship was practically uncontrollable.
Yes, but not in any sufficient capacity. Almost immediately after the torpedo strike there was a second explosion, at first theorized to be the munitions she carried or a second torpedo, then the theory of coal dust igniting. But according to Captain Turner’s testimony, steam pressure to the engines had dropped from about 190 psi to 50 psi, which has lead me to consider the theory that it was steam pipes rupturing. Anyway, Lusitania coasted 2 miles before she sank, but that was because even with pressure lost she was still 33k tons of steel being driven forward from the momentum alone. There is even speculation that this is what caused her to sink so quickly; the momentum was literally driving her under the water.
Shouldn't she hit the bottom when the stern is still up?
No, the RMS Lusitania did not strike the bottom while sinking. The Lusitania sank relatively quickly after being torpedoed by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, but it did not strike the bottom during the process of sinking.
The ship was torpedoed off the southern coast of Ireland and sank in about 18 minutes. The wreck eventually settled on the seabed at a depth of approximately 300 feet (91 meters). The rapid sinking and the depth of the water in the area meant that the ship did not strike the bottom until it had fully sunk.
@@caljucotcas she had that momentum still while sinking
You might be thinking of Britannic.
@@nian60 maybe btw we need more of other ships
@@captainAlex258 yes, the currents (which are very strong in the area) also played a role but her longitudinal bulkheads wer3 the real reason she sank at a weird angle. The port side was more buoyant throughout the entire sinking.
can u do this but a different angle? I was just thinking about this ship
It reminds me of that animated Titanic sinking by James Cameron
@@Mobythemerpup1515 kina does a little but no matter I would still love a theme park based on this ship, if it doesnt get completed well at least we can explorer her decks up to lets say the A deck
A well done video (I don't know of any other 3D simulation that shows what's happening BELOW the surface). BUT, when you say she DIDN'T touch bottom before fully submerging, that is contradicted by EVERY account I've seen.
Thank you for crafting this interesting animation of the sinking of the great liner. I have read much about this disaster over the years, but yours is the first one that asserts the ship did not strike bottom while the stern was still above the water. What is your source for this information or is this a theory of your own?
One from the Britannic Please
1:11 i think the lusitania still put its stern up in the air and it did a curve shape when touching the bottom that’s why the wreck looks awful
No, the wreck looks awful because It had been used as target practice for depth charges until late 1920s. Some people say It was because the british government couldn't take the risks of the ship's cargo being stolen, some say they did this to prevent enemy submarines to "hide" on the wreck as a sonar shield. There are many stories about why exactly they destroyed the wreck but it's still a mystery.
Hello, can you make an animation about Samuel B Roberts - the deepest sunken ship? (6895 m)
Hello, thank You, ill check it out.
Kinda reminds me of the video that ocean liner designs makes with Mike Brady
crazy how 3 of 4 funnels stayed on and didnt collaspe like titanic. sad thign is when the funnels went under water, it sucked alot of swimmers inside them
It's really scary. Imagine yourself there with a white life jacket. Then you lose your balance and fall into the sea and drown to death.
I thought she struck the sea floor when the stern was still above the water
She didnt, water is too deep for that, the depth is correct in this video
Lusitania
I still don't understand why they destroyed the wreck
Fact: Lusitania sank close to land so it got destroyed by humans that is why the ship wreck is in bad shape
It is not very deep there !!! My idea to cover all the hull with thick rubber in order to absorbe impact of solid materials and prevent sink
please show the sinking of the cordelia cruises ( the empress )
lusitania was a submarine for some time
I thought her bow already hit the seafloor by the time the stern started to go down
Yup. Thats something everybodys says, but its not true
@@caljucotcas explain?
The third funnel fell
1:03 question: why is the ship still moving while the stern is up?
Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its speed or direction to change.
Sounds like they are cheering on a concert...
why the funnels didnt collapse as with titanic? were they built more stabile?
No, im not that great animator
Titanic?
where do you make these animations?
In Estonia, my home, my pc, on my chair, programs: Sketchup / Lumion 12 / Sony vegas
@@caljucotcas thx
LUSITANIA
She is swimming like a fish
Wow
Also, why did the funnell did not collapse?
They didnt fall
None of them fell in the sinking, the 3rd funnel almost fell because of an explosion but it only slightly tilted.
probably because it sank so quickley
😢😢😢😢😢
Hello
Can u do MH370 landing on water animation 😂
Uamw yang memiliki aku stop kontak pengiklan no.9176
❤😂🎉🎉😢😢🎉😂😂😂😂😂😮😅😊
A. The ships golden stripe was gray
B. The bottom of the funnels was dark gray.
