    The starboard hull in the No.6 boiler-room wasn't ripped open it had a whole lot popped rivets and buckled shell-plating that parted the seams between shell-plates.

    • @timtnr.6177
      @timtnr.6177 Рік тому +1

      When the rivets were compromised by the damage from the iceberg, the pressure of the sea pushed in on the plates, causing the seams in between the plates to buckle more . Titanic had made 14 ft. Of water in just 10 minutes after the collision

    0:05 - No surprise the ship split in two between the second and third funnels: look at how much hollow space the domed grand staircase room created. Clearly a weak spot, all of the weight of the just aft-positioned engines found an easy time at bending and eventually breaking up the hull in that particular position.

      It wasn't just that, all those boiler and engine room uptakes, which widened out dramatically on E and F decks created a LOT of large openings in the decks above the engine rooms. That created places for the fractures to radiate from and right angles to follow until they joined and split Titanic into four main pieces. Towards the end, the hull began to hog badly, which caused the keel to jack knife and bend upwards, breaking the bed plates for the reciprocating engines in the process. At the same time, the upper decks were being pulled apart, and cracks appeared in the decks around the uptake for the number three funnel and the aft grand staircase. They radiated outwards from the corner doublers that were there to prevent the spread of cracks if they started at sea, but instead they caused the midsection to break apart into several large pieces.

    Bulkhead between boiler room 6 & 5 didn’t give way. The coal bunker in boiler room 5 gave way, as it wasn’t made to be watertight. Volume of water within the coal bunker was way too much for the thickness of steel to contain, hence the rivets popping & the structure of the coal bunker wall giving way.

      Yeah, In most of the simulations, the bow section always breaks off completely from the stern, either on the surface or deep under water. 🙄 But I believe the water-filled bow must have still been loosely hanging from the stern after an incomplete split. The bow section acting as a weight, pulling the stern underwater, causing the air-filled stern to turn vertical. Similar to when a fish catches a bait and the float gets pulled underwater. 🎣 Only after it had sunk, the stern section completely detached from the bow while falling to the ocean floor.

    Some of the photos are not of the boilers, they are actually of the engine cylinders. Also the boilers are not fixed in the ship but are held in place only by gravity and their own weight. They sit in a pair of cradles, and will have “collision chocks” to prevent them moving forward if the ship has a sudden collision stop. Tip such a ship on end and all the boilers fall free towards the front end or out the back end. They are not fixed rigidly due to the amount of expansion they undergo for pressure and temperature, and it’s not uniform.

      @shaynewheeler9249 Yes, until the sea flooded # 4 and caused a thermal explosion water 31°F hitting the 1,500°F steel. With close to 150 P.S.I. caused the steam to " pocket" and from the extreme temperature difference, likely caused cracks in the corrugated furnace walls and the boilers exploded. No one in Boiler Room #4 survived. It happened so quickly the firemen did not know what hit them.

      The double ended scotch marine boilers weigh each close to 100 tons, at a depth of 2 1/2 miles below the surface, you cannot lift anything that heavy and raise it to the surface. Also, the boilers are cylindrical in shape and would be difficult to hold on to, let alone raise one to the surface

    They can still preserve the ship as a grave yard, but recover things. I think they should recover as much as they can. Not sure if thry are able to get a boiler. Get an anchor. Try to dig on the side where they believe she struck. That would solve a lot of theories.

    • @JaydenBillingsley
      @JaydenBillingsley Рік тому +1

      While it's true that rapidly heating cold metal can potentially lead to explosions due to the thermal stress, the scenario you described might not have caused a massive explosion on the Titanic. The ship's boilers were not directly exposed to the cold water outside the ship; they were contained within the ship's structure. The ship hit the iceberg, causing a breach in its hull, which allowed water to enter the ship. This water came into contact with the boilers, leading to a sudden and intense pressure increase that likely contributed to the ship's sinking. However, it wasn't a massive explosion in the traditional sense. The primary cause of the Titanic's sinking was the structural damage from the collision and the subsequent flooding, rather than a single large explosion.

      @JaydenBillingsley Boiler Room # 6 the forwardmost Boiler Room closest to the bow of Titanic rapidly filled when the iceberg popped the rivets. Water flooded 2 ft. Above the boiler room floor. Second Engineer James Hesketh and Fredrick Barrett were talking, the "STOP " indicator on the boiler room telegram and red warning light came on " Fredrick Barrett ordered the fires drawn and dampers closed immediately. Just seconds before the boiler room flooded and was abandoned. Fortunately the fires were put out and the steam vented in # 6 . Otherwise the boilers likely would have exploded at full pressure 215 P.S.I. it would have Otherwise been catastrophic, Titanic would have sank in a matter of minutes

    Boiler room five was titanics last stand. For about 20 min after impact, it was a certainty that she’d go down quite like she did. The coal bunker behind boiler room five had been breached, and of course, wasn’t designed to hold water so when it gave way that was the end of the story. The captain was notified immediately. He said, go ahead and leave the watertight doors open, so the water can at least flow more freely, so the ship will be level for longer to launch lifeboats.

    This is easily debunked as that shadow or smudge on the hull is not adjacent to where the fire took place.
