FOOTAGE FOR THE TITANIC ARCHIVE PROJECT BROUGHT TO YOU BY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration www.noaa.gov/ CyArk www.cyark.org/ Digital Domain/Lightstorm Entertainment/Earthship Productions www.digitaldomain.com/
At about 3:30 you can see how the ceiling of the 3rd class general room and smoking room is folded over the fantail like an omelet. The stern inherited a lot of air and imploded violently. There's evidence that the stern section inverted at least once on the way down, all but one of the cargo cranes (held in largely by gravity) fell out. The stern spun clockwise I think, adding twist damage to that cause by it slamming into the ocean floor. The bow and stern are almost perfectly facing in opposite directions. You can appreciate the forces of the breakup, the high pressure cylinders on both 4 story tall reciprocating engines are broken off. Hearings on both side of the Atlantic determined that Titanic sank intact, despite testimony of 76 individuals who saw it break up and evidence (furniture from deep inside the breakup zone and funnel insulation floating on the surface) at the wreck site.
are you Cam Houseman on encyclopedia titanica? Because if so I just have a question for you. You say there is an indent in the portside of the stern according to Roy Mengot. And the evidence that you provided is quite clear and I can see it well. But it's just the concept of it. In the first two photos it looks as if the indent is behind the sheet of metal that you see in front of the fairlead rollers that you can see in this video at let's just say 11:32. And you even outlined it so that I could see it better (thank you for that by the way). But when we go to see the dent on the portside in this footage, it looks as if where you outlined in the other two photos has suddenly moved forward from where it was originally outlined. So what is my question? My question is why does it seem like this? I hear you mention in your thread that the poop deck has collapsed a bit more. So I figured that you meant it had moved aft of where it was originally (or backwards in this case). Is this the case? Or is it that I'm just not seeing it clearly? Because it clearly seems like the outline in the first two photos that you put has seemingly moved forward and I can't quite wrap my mind around it. Maybe it's the camera angle being awkward? I don't know. 🤷♂️ But I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me by what you meant. And in my opinion, this "indentation" Seems to be quite large if I'm seeing it correctly, stretching from the port side fairlead rollers, all the way around pretty much to the starboard side. That is again, if I'm seeing it correctly. And also if you're wondering what I mean by the first "two photos", I'm talking about the pictures of the port side of the wreck in 1986 I think if I remember correctly. So again I would appreciate it if you could explain to me or at least answer my question since that thread has intrigued me and I would certainly like to know more about it!
Impresionante el estado en que se encuentra la popa del Titanic , prácticamente irreconocible ya no queda nada para observar con detalle. Impresionante calidad de imágenes e iluminación parece que se encuentre a 20 metros increíble pero ya queda poco que observar.
And would account for the reports of the passengers saying they felt a shudder. Thay be the ice burg scraping the side an as it did it was tearing off the bottom bow.
That hallow area. Between the walls allowed water to flow freely from deck to deck. Once it reached above the water tight areas. They believed the floors above the water tight compartments would of prevented the water from flowing to the next compartments but didn't anticipate it flowing through the bottom of the ship an. Through ventilation ducts. And walls
The space under the floors beneath the coal bunkers an boiler rooms. Was hallow. Like an oil drum. Allowing water to. Freely move from bow to stern. The entire front half of the bottom of the ship was ripped off when it hit the ice burg. Not just on the side as they assume
It would be hell of an interesting dive if they did, literally no one went do document those areas on the wreck, mainly due to the sheer danger of decks collapsing, and that is true. But one could ponder, this area gives out a lot of promise, the Hull on the back is rather intact, and it might be possible that some interior survived, I can see the staircase's tiles and what I can make out as the remains of the railings. I can also notice that D Deck, E Deck, F Deck is clearly accessible, very similar to the Grand Staircase, it also seems that something is holding those decks up, meaning that there might still be something left of the cabins down there. But judging how quickly the wreck's going, I doubt that will ever happen.
