Titanic Flaws

But in 1912 the Titanic sunk and it was a disaster at that time a lot of people died and the cause was preventable. So the failure was because of a fracture in the Hull steel and the wrought iron rivets. The fracture happened because of the amount of sulphur of the steel and the high speed of the ship as it travel over below freezing water. All these could have been prevented if the captain of the ship listened to the warring about the ice. They could have used a better quality of the riveting and the steel plates.

On April 15, 1912 at 11:40 P.M. the Titanic collided with an iceberg and by 2:20 A.M. it was at the bottom of the ocean; over 1,500 people died. The massive loss of life was a shock to the world. The “unsinkable” ship had sunk. Despite the Titanic’s claims about being “unsinkable” and completely safe, many avoidable things led to the immense number of fatalities, such as the shortage of lifeboats, lowered bulkheads, and the lack of binoculars. Bruce Ismay, the designer of the Titanic and director of Whitestar line, often chose the comfort of his passengers over their safety. While Ismay was designing the Titanic he thought that the deck was too cluttered so he decided to keep only a third of the lifeboats needed to save all of the passengers

The Titanic is different from the other ships because, they thought that the Titanic was unsinkable. “It’s another ice burg warning…the captain had seemed quite unconcerned” on 106 and 107 so they aren’t worried that they will not hit the ice burg and sink because those people don’t think it can sink. “There was much talk among the passengers about the Titanic being unsinkable.” On 105 so they aren’t worried that the boat will sink. “Nicknamed the Unsinkable ship” on page 102 it even says unsinkable

Imagine having to balance your weight on a pack of pencils, and that’s how brittle the steel used on the Titanic’s hull was. There was a piece of the hull that had been recovered and scientists had gone forward to examine that piece of steel. They concluded that the steel was of very poor quality. “Jagged and sharp, the edges of the piece of steel appeared almost shattered, like broken china.” (Bassett 44). The Titanic had a sister ship, Olympic, which collided while leaving the harbor on September 20, 1911. A similar outcome had occurred when another cruise ship had collided into Olympic. “A 36-foot high opening was torn into the starboard side of the Olympics’ hull when a British cruiser broadsided her. Failure of the riveted joints and ripping of the hull plates were apparent in the area of impact.” (45). The build of the Titanic was more cheap and bad built than quality made and

The Titanic, a British luxury liner that claimed to be unsinkable, sank after colliding with an iceberg on April, 14 1912. The name titanic was acquired from greek mythology, it means gigantic.The titanic was fabricated in belfast ireland, in the united kingdom.

One passage, R.M.S. Titanic, by Hanson W. Baldwin, tells about the sequence of unfortunate events. The ship took 3 years to build and with much careful construction, many thought that the ship was, in fact, unsinkable.

When the Titanic was finally launched on May 31, 1911. Bruce Ismay was the chairman of the White Star Line company and Thomas Andrews was the one who designed the Titanic. It started its construction at Harland and Wolff shipyard on May 31, 1909. People thought that the ship was known as “unsinkable” because they believed that they used the most advanced technology of its time in order to make this most magnificent ship built of its time. The company did not claim that the Titanic is “unsinkable”, people just claimed that the ship is unsinkable but it shocked people around the world when the “unsinkable” ship actually sank with hundreds of innocent passengers. However, It was also thought to be the largest man

Even if the first four watertight compartments filled with water, the ship would still float. Thus, the Titanic was said to be “unsinkable”. Weighing 46,328 tons and taking three years to build, the Titanic was ready for its first voyage in early April.

Most people thought that the Titanic was unsinkable, but they couldn’t have been any further from the truth. The Titanic’s maiden voyage in the early 1900s was cut short due to a collision with an iceberg. The Titanic was a tragic event that helped change sailing for years to come because of the massive casualties and the sinking of an unsinkable ship.

The, Titanic was one of the most high-powered, largest ships of its time. The Titanic could go as fast as 20 knots or more. Which can be a big problem, being such a big as it was. The Titanic was on its way, not knowing what will come in its path. Having something so deeply built and putting so much effort and trust in something, does not always go the right way you want it to go

In the conclusion, RMS Titanic used round headed solid rivets of iron and steel in the different locations of ship hull which were installed manually and some were hydraulically driven at different locations. The substandard material and the error in the placement of different type of rivets is the root cause of sinking of RMS Titanic after it hit the iceberg its hull collapsed and led to this disaster.

Have you ever really thought about the day RMS. Titanic sank? The RMS.Titanic was made to be unsinkable. It sank into the icy waters of the Atlantic after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage. It killed 1,517 people during the tragedy.

When analyzing this disaster the first thing to consider is the engineer’s design of the Titanic. The Titanic was employing many new and innovative designs that were believed to make the Titanic the safest ship ever built at that time. The engineer’s of the vessel made claims that the Titanic was “unsinkable” and that “even in the worst possible accident at sea, the ship should have stayed afloat for two to three days.” One of the features that lead them to this claim was the 16 watertight compartments in the hull of the ship. The way they were designed allowed for up to four compartments to be breached and they ship would still carry

The RMS Titanic; A Tragedy Based on Class. In April, 1912, the so called "unsinkable" Titanic set sail to New York. The great ship was as big as five city blocks, and weighed thousands and thousands of tons. Everyone who was everyone grabbed a room on the luxurious ship for the trip of a lifetime. On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg an sank into the icy depths of the North Atlantic.

The titanic was supposed to be unsinkable but it's first time on the ocean it sunk and killed over 1,500 people and only 702 people out of 2,223 people survived the titanic because they were only putting in 28 people in a lifeboat and they should have put 65 people per lifeboat and that really affected the amount of people that died because if they used
