+James Varela Because Titanic was built of good strong steel. But people believe the old news reports about the cheap steel since they are too lazy to do REAL research. Pieces of Titanic has been raised and tested. Her steel was superb. NO ship can survive when side-swiping an iceberg (Titanic is the only one that has done this). The force was 1-million foot-tons per second; that's like a mine! Oceanos was already in bad condition when she left port.

@Shipster1912 8 жыл бұрын

Titanic is in a better condition, as oppose to Oceanos because of the less oxygen at 2.3 miles underwater than 322ft. However, Titanic has a form of bacteria-eating the wreck slowly. Titanic's top deck is suggested to cave in on itself in around 20 years, due to deterioration.

@AzureFlameGod1986 8 жыл бұрын

Titanic is famous because it's the most disastrous maritime sinking in history. The mistakes that were made numerous times before and during it's sinking and the number of people that died. Not because it hit an iceberg. Nor was Titanic the first. Many ships have been lost do to ice in the sea. Titanic may have been the last to be sunk by an iceberg.
