Then what happened to Concordia ?
I can't start to imagine how much effort went into making this video, Sabin. Excelent job!
First Officer Murdock did not throw RMS Titanic's engines into reverse as part of his iceberg avoidance maneuvers. Judging by the short distance between ship and berg upon discovery of the iceberg he simply cut the steam to the reciprocating engines while allowing the ship's inertia to help port around the iceberg. As the wheelhouse telegraphs didn't directly control the engines like modern day bridge controls he likely knew there wasn't enough time to execute a crashstop order. Plus doing so would eventually negate rudder control buy reversing the polarity of waterflow passing over the rudder thus causing the opposite effect of the rudder's hard over position.
It's important to know that the quality of rivets used below water was necessarily lower in quality due to the inability of using Harland & Wolff's hydraulic rivet machine at the angles involved in the varying contours of the ship's bow and stern areas. Rivets along this section of the hull had to be driven in by a two man riveting team. Had higher quality steel been used the rivet even at white hot temperatures would have been too tough for them to be rivetted by hand.
Even today there aren't many ships that utilize a double hull system with an outer and inner skin holding back ingress from entering the hull. Such a double hull configuration only covers the bottom. Such double membrane systems have caused destabilizing lists due to uneven flooding caused by the ingress of water along the extreme edges of the vessel. We only have to look at the modern cruise ship Costa Concordia to see such a system wasn't used. Upon collision with underwater rock formations there was just one layer of hull that was punctured, not two.
This is the best Titanic breakdown video I've seen, assume videos !
Great video, thank you! You've earned my sub and I'm look forward to more of your content!
Really great video! Got a better understanding of what happened that night in 1912
Excellent video!
Thanks for English version for this video 👍❤️
You did a lot of research unlike some other channels
4:18 The middle propeller can't turn backwards.... A steam turbine can rotate only one way.
Unfortunately the water tight bukheads didn't go to top deck, so water could overflow when it reached the top. Also, they used weak rivets that could not withstand the freezing temperatures
5:54 did you put your name in the goblet of fire, dumbledore asked calmly
Captain Smith said "Modern ship building has come along way, so nothing could cause this ship to founder"
Wasn't the quote more along the lines that he couldn't imagine a situation where the ship could founder, not that he outright said it couldn't founder?
@@justinlynch3 Yes, I think so.
This video needs more view
Very detailed and imfortative.
awesome bro
Heeyyy been a while since you posted on this channel man. : D
3:09 THAT DAMAGE IS WAYYYYY TOO EXTREME. THAT WOULDN’T HAPPEN
Yet, another titanic video with alot of inaccuracies.
2:53 WHY ARE THERE WAVES!? THE SEA WAS DEAD CALM THAT NIGHT
The front of the ship has crumple zones just like your car which is why Titanic would not sink in a head-on collision
3:34 THAT IS NOT WHERE THEY STEERED THE SHIP
They actually did steer it to the left.
@@ljschcru2013 steered it to port. and if you read his comment he was stating it is the wrong wheel. there where 2 wheels in that part of the ship and thats not the one they were using.
@@lukeclays9644 oh i thought he was stating that they steered it the wrong direction, sorry.
Also i know my 'port and starboard' i just said left because i thought he had no knowledge on what is port and starboard.
Titanic's middle screw was three bladed olympic's was Four bladed
Titanic's 4 bladed center screw was removed and given to Olympic after she threw hers during one of her transatlantic voyages. Harland & Wolf replaced it with a three bladed prop.
@@RobbyHouseIV There is not photos or proof that titanic ever had a 4 bladed centre prop and 1 peice of paper saying that hull 401 had a 3 bladed centre prop ordered.
Quite a few inaccuracies here...
The whole thing was a accident waiting to happen.
Talk about beating a dead horse, all over the place
0:23 I HATETHIS ANIMATION SO FUCKING MUCH
