The Titanic sunk after hitting an iceberg in 1912, but it wasn't that simple considering the ship was deemed unsinkable.

One correction that I overlooked during my research, the Titanic was not sailing to beat a record that is a common myth but not actually true.

Ah, the old myth that she was steaming too fast to break a record. A record she couldn't have broken as she wasn't even the fastest ship. She wasn't even at full steam when she hit the iceberg. She was on the longer southern crossing to avoid the ice, and her course altered further south to avoid ice warnings.

The ice tray is the best example I've seen explaining the compartments 🚢. Very insightful, Great video 👍👍

The Captain of the Titanic Was Not Out for a record, in fact the Titanic was not the fastest ship in the world The white star line the company that owned the trio of ships, Olympic, britannic And Titanic we’re more focused on safety and luxury even the captain himself changed the Titanic‘s course to avoid the ice field.

Great video. Very informing for beginners. Captain Smith actually changed Titanic’s direction slightly, and when the ship hit the iceberg he was asleep and the 1st Officer was in command. Binoculars, while they would’ve helped spot things in the daytime wouldn’t have helped at all and would have made it worse for the lookout crew since there was a cold water mirage and it was a moonless night. Titanic was built to the highest safety standards at the time but it doesn’t compare to today, just how Icon of the Seas in 100 years will be obsolete. Titanic was never called unsinkable, in fact many ships at the time such as the Lusitania and Mauretania were titled as unsinkable upon their introduction. The crew did have time to prepare for a proper evacuation, most of Titanic’s crew members were royal navy reserves and White Star Line veterans.

My suspicion is that the main reason was that it was heavier than water

There was very little knowledge of damage control evident in their actions. When Cook run aground on the Great Barrier Reef (1770), he used sails, with ropes tied to the ends. They were worked from the bow and stern along to where the hole was and water pressure pushed it into the hole. This doesn’t stop the water but it slowed it enough to allow the pumps to make it possible to make it to land.

I’m pretty sure the titanic wasn’t actually deemed “unsinkable”

Thank you for sharing this. I greatly appreciated it. Titanic was a crime. 0n the night of her sinking . The Californian was 19 miles away. She had her radio shut off the night. There two other ships in the area that night.

Every movie made the ship hits the iceberg but after the ship hits the iceberg disappears

This is accurate! I don't see that many people talk about the ships faulty design.

Not trying to be too picky but the part where you said the lookouts didn't have bincolars, that was the point. You see the lookouts had to keep an eye on the stars, that was the only way they could see a dark object, it was a moonless night, the sea was dead calm so no waves breaking against objects and both the sky and ocean was completely pitch black. Now the stars can reflect off stuff and also if you have an object infront of you it will cover the stars. Now having binoculars would make this job even more difficult as you get a limited view and also the lookouts needed to adjust and get used to the dark up there, they even turned all the exterior lights on the front of the ship off so it would be easier. So having binoculars would make it even more difficult to see. Also you later said that some lifeboats weren't properly inflated, there were no such types of boats. There were boats called Preserve Boats which had the popular nickname of Collapsibles and they were like very flat lifeboats, kind of like rafts but they had canvas sides that could be pulled up or collapsed downwards. Also at the start of the video you said that the ship sunk by design, kind of but kind of not. It was mostly nature itself as the large ice pack had broken off Greenland and drifted South right into the busy shipping lanes so what sunk Titanic was pure nature and physics. Also after that you said Thomas Andrews was the naval architect for the Titanic, this is a problem I've seen a lot of times and people seem to forget that there was a huge team of a lot of people who designed the ship. The ship's main architects were William Pirrie who was in charge of the shipyard but the main man, the chief designer, the head architect of the Titanic was Alexander Carlisle. Alexander Carlisle had retired before the completion of Titanic and as such Andrew (nephew of Pirrie) had been brought in as a replacement to oversee the finalization of the construction and also boarding the ship on her Maiden Voyage as William Pirrie had become sick. NOW ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU GOT WRONG, you said if the watertight comparments got flooded from above it would easily overflow into the next, then what's the point of watertight doors and watertight bulkheads. It doesn't matter if the ship takes on water from the bottom, the sides or from above, the ship would stay afloat. The ship could stay afloat with any of her 3 compartments flooded, she could even float with all 4 gone but she can't float with 5 which was the damage that Titanic dealt. Well the Titanic breached 5 comparments and the 6th's coalbunker which wasn't meant to be watertight and later collapsed in the sinking. Now next you also said that recent studies have shown the rivets and steel on the Titanic would become brittel. Well, the steel and rivets used on Titanic were the best at the time, Harland and Wolff, the most advanced and best shipbuilders at the time could very easily get their hands on the best of the best. NEXT THING, you ruining the reputation of a dead man. You said that the captain of the Titanic was sailing at a dangerously fast speed, that can't be physically possible as they never even reached full speed on her Maiden Voyage. Her top speed was 23-24 knots, during that last night they were sailing 20 knots. They didn't even have all the boilers list. Also you said they were pursuiting of a record, that's literally physically impossible, there is no one that could happen, physics doesn't support that. The RMS Mauretania had held the 2 records since 1907 and 1909 and she held them for 20 years. The Mauretania could make the trip in 5 days, Titanic in 7-8 days. Even if they pushed the engines of the Titanic to the limits it wouldn't be possible. They weren't even planning to take the record in the first place. White Star Line, one of the best shipping line in history wouldn't do that, to this day they remain as one of the best shipping lines as they focused on size and comfort. Hope I wasn't too picky but I'm just trying to correct some things as having people believe in myths and absolutely stupid rumors isn't the best thing as it can ruin the reputations of once great people and ruin the lives of their living family members.
