Titanic! That scene where the band continued playing even when the ship was sinking remains my favourite part of the movie. Can't remember the exact words, but one of them said something along the line of, "it will be an honour to die playing beside you". God! What better way is there to teach leadership, followership, loyalty and respect.
So touching.... embarassed

As a seafarer, What we pray most and always avoid onboard a ship is fire accident and Pirate attack.... Due to modern gadgets onboard ranging from Echo Sounder, Radar and electronic charts... and on bigger vessels plying international route do have ice-breaker jaw...

I have watched the movie "Titanic" when I was a Lil younger.. maybe 14-15yrs... after I graduated from the Maritime Academy I now have a clearer picture of why the ship sank....

1. The ship was constructed with a single hull.... But thanks to SOLAS regulations now... they have mandated all vessels to be constructed with a double hull

This implies that if Titanic was constructed with a double hull, even when the iceberg pierced through the hull of the vessel... the ship would not have divided into two nor sink...

2. The AB on lookout didn't maintain a correct deck to bridge communication, I think by then a radio was invented, what could have prevented him from using a radio to communicate with the officer on duty at the bridge.

3. What caused more death was "Panic"... I have not worked on cruise liner before, but I guess the passengers onboard that ship should have been given a pre-information about the vessel like the muster point, life boat station and locker for lifejackets, from the movie everyone were panicking and looking so confused on where to escape...

If proper safety orientation was given to the passengers before casting off.. I am very sure the number of casualties would have been minimal

4. The Lifeboat I saw onboard Titanic was below standard(manually paddled) well thank God for SOLAS regulations and modern technologies, in such a big vessel like a cruise liner... The best lifeboat to use is the "free fall method" Before the life boats were launched into the water it took time and people were even jumping into the water because they were scared to die

I could go on and on.......but lemme stop here... everything happens for a reason so we can learn a lesson to perfect our flaws

That's why there are regulations and standards set out for shipbuilders before laying out keel for ship construction..

We have ship classification societies which inspect the ship facilities during the laying of the keel and building of the superstructures

That's why modern ships can sail safely even in rough weather conditions

GLOSSARY

Hull: Body of the ship
SOLAS: Safety of Life at sea (Regulations set out to protect personnel working onboard a ship and the ship)
AB: Able bodied seaman, Deck ratings
Bridge: Another name for wheelhouse of a ship as cockpit is to airplane
Radio: walkie Talkie

Questions are welcomed grin

And the captain of the Ship insisted on dying with his Ship, as against the crew members' efforts to get him on a lifeboat. Awww! What an honourable way of saying goodbye. Epic!

ProfessorPeter:
Titanic was a ship built to assassinate some wealthy individuals.
Why was the captain with 25 years experience decided to ignore a warning of iceberg ahead.
Why was somebody "forgot" to drop the key to the room where binoculars were kept?


Who doesn't love a good conspiracy? smiley

That's the captain's duty to ascertain all crews and passengers onboard his ship are safe and accountable during fire accident, Abandon ship.... ship wreckage

That's why captains are brave and not coward

You're so right. Nairaland front page is so boring these days. It's either the picture of a lady wearing butt pads, or a man refused to sleep with his wife, or the new hairstyle women wear, or some other rubbish. It's getting out of hand.


you are right but seun cares more about traffic and the fact is people careless about informative and educative threads. This thread has only 5 pages since yesterday, imagine if it was any of those normal day to day threads, it would have surpassed that number.

If it had been an all black band it would have been totally different , a black man would save his skin first , "Gimme that violin , I bet that shiite can float".
