They Lied To Us: The Iceberg Didn't Sink The Titanic by Suurulere(m): 10:06am On Aug 13, 2019 |
When the Titanic left Queenstown, Ireland, on April 11, 1912, with over 2,200 passengers and crew members bound for New York in the United States, most of those onboard probably believed the common myth that had been floating around for months: the Titanic was unsinkable. Based upon news articles about the ship and advertisements from its owner, the White Star Line, it's clear that those who built the ship had designed it to be unsinkable. When it was built and launched, the Titanic was the largest ship afloat. At 882.5 feet long, 92.5 feet wide, 175 feet high, the ship displaced 66,000 tons of water. It was the largest movable object ever made by Man. With newly-designed watertight compartments and remotely-operated, electronic watertight doors, it's easy to see why engineers believed the ship was practically unsinkable. The Titanic, in addition to being exceptionally huge, was designed to be the ultimate in luxury travel. Never had there been a cruise ship with such magnificent features; a gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, restaurants, and luxurious cabins. The first few days of the Titanic's voyage went smoothly. On April 14, 1912, however, the Titanic hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm. At that time, the ship was approximately 375 miles south of Newfoundland in the northern Atlantic Ocean. So... How did the “unsinkable" Titanic sink? Why did engineers think the Titanic was unsinkable? What factors led to the sinking of the Titanic? All of these and more in this video below….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o39FAaQ_tRM |
