The shipwreck pictures show that the impact of the titanic iceberg did not cause indentations in the starboard side of the old ship as it was long thought, but probably caused the breakage of structurally weak rivets. This allowed the disassembly of the hull plates, and, consequently, the entry of water as shown by the shipwreck pictures

The Science of Titanic, and How to Wreck the Shipwreck Part II
We have been talking about the RMS Titanic and the myths which surround the greatest of maritime disasters. We mentioned the size and speed of the ship, her watertight compartments, and the grade of steel from which she was made. But there is so much more surrounding this ship and the people who sailed on her. One of the subjects often discussed about Titanic is her lifeboats and that, had she had enough boats for all, everyone would have been saved. There is only some truth to this. There were approximately 2201 passengers and crew. There were lifeboats for just half that many, about 1100 people, yet only 705 people were saved. Three problems explained this low number of people saved. Ships had been growing by startling leaps and bounds. Less than a year before Titanic's 46,000 tons, most ships had been about 15,000 tons. There is a world of difference between maneuvering 15,000 tons and 46,000 tons. Smith greatly overestimated what Titanic was capable of. Her sea trials were brief, just a few turns and stops at various speeds. Smith did learn that, steaming at 18 knots, then throwing the engines in reverse, it took Titanic 3000 feet to stop. She would have nothing like that 12 days later. The night of the 14th, Titanic was steaming at about 22 knots. It was a clear, windless and moonless night. A moon would have helped them see the bergs, and some wind would have made the water breaking around the bergs visible. Titanic struck a glancing blow, making very tiny gashes along nearly 300 feet of her starboard side. It took her from 11:40pm to 2:20 am to sink.

The Science of Titanic, and How to Wreck the Shipwreck This is the first of a two part article about the Titanic disaster. This month, the box-office smash Titanic is aired on NBC. The movie won numerous awards and grossed a lot of money. The actual event has mesmerized people from all over the world since it happened in 1912. There have been countless books written, at least three movies and countless stories from survivors or survivors relatives . Myth, superstition and lore arose almost immediately after the disaster and have become mingled with fact over the years. The movie smeared fact and fiction further. It takes a combined effort from science and history to separate fact from fiction. Most everyone knows at least some things about Titanic. The most common are : She was the largest ocean liner of her time, believed to be unsinkable. While sailing at full speed from England to New York on her maiden voyage, Titanic struck an iceberg. There were too few life boats and many people drowned. Unfortunately after the 1997 movie, many folks also believe that there really was a Jack Dawson, a Rose and a Blue Heart necklace. They also believe that 1st officer Murdoch was both a coward and a murderer. It was no myth that Titanic was the largest liner of her time, but neither her owners nor her builders referred to her as unsinkable. The Shipbuilder, a well respected nautical magazine, had described Titanic's series of watertight compartments and wrote that this rendered the ship "practically unsinkable." The term caught on, and the press exaggerated it to unsinkable.

Revisiting the world's most famous shipwreck
In 'Return to Titanic,' explorer Robert Ballard revisits the ship, 20 years after discovering its final resting place. Here's an excerpt
Univ. of Rhode Island via Nation
Titanic's port bow rail screens rollers for mooring lines, chains, at center, and an auxiliary anchor boom, at far left.
Today show It's been nearly 100 years since the Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic. Still, the maritime disaster that took more than 1,500 lives continues to fascinate. Recently Robert Ballard, the man who discovered the ship's final resting place nearly 20 years ago, returned to the site to determine what effect fame has had on the storied ship. National Geographic followed Ballard back to the famous ship in a television special called "Titanic Revealed." His journey is also chronicled in a new book, "Return to Titanic: A New Look at the World's Most Famous Lost Ship." Ballard was invited on the "Today" show to talk about the book and his visit to the wreck site. Here's an excerpt: Titanic is many things to many people. To some it embodies the overstuffed opulence of the Edwardian era. Poetic souls find the best and worst of human nature in its final hours. Others view its fate as a cautionary tale about the folly of arrogance.

Titanic and Ocean Liners
Cunard's greatest achievements included Lusitania and Mauretania , the largest and fastest ships the world had ever seen at the turn of the 20th century. The White Star Line built the Olympic Class Line; the first was Olympic , the second, Titanic and the third Gigantic , (renamed Britannic so as no reference to size was made in the wake of the Titanic disaster). RMS Lusitania launched at the River Clyde in June 1906, the Lusitania was the largest liner afloat. As the British government financed her construction, the Admiralty could requisition her, the Mauretania or the Auqitania for war duties. Torpedoed off Southern Ireland on 7 May 1915, R.M.S. Lusitania sank in 350ft of water in less than 15 minutes with the loss of 1,198 civilians. Although claims were made that she was not carrying any war stores, it is alleged that she was in fact heavily armed. Many artefacts are on display including photographs of the Lusitania, her quarters, crockery, perfume bottles, medals, gold pocket watches and posters relating to her demise. It is widely believed that the British forces wanted the ship sunk to ensure America joined the Allied forces against Germany and although America never actually declared war on Germany until 1917, it is highly likely that the sinking of the Lusitania was probably the root cause of the USA joining the war on the Allied side.

53. Shipwrecks
Probably the most famous shipwreck is the titanic. Just two years after the titanic, another terrible shipwreck took the lives of many people.
http://library.thinkquest.org/5391/shipwrecks.html
On this page we tell the stories of just some of the shipwrecks that we found interesting: TITANIC: Probably the most famous shipwreck is the Titanic. It was thought to be unsinkable, but when on April 14, 1912, it hit an iceberg, the Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic. Fifteen hundred people lost their lives. The remains of the Titanic were finally discovered more than 70 years after the sinking by a man named Robert Ballard. He used a small submarine to descend two and a half miles to the Atlantic sea bottom. There he discovered the Titanic had split in half with each half almost 2,000 feet from the other facing in opposite directions. Empress of Ireland Just two years after the Titanic, another terrible shipwreck took the lives of many people. It was the ramming of the Empress of Ireland by a coal ship called the Storstad in the St. Lawrence River on May 29, 1914. The cause of the accident was blamed on heavy, thick fog. The captain of the Empress of Ireland saw the Storstad just moments before the impact. There were more than one thousand passengers, most of them sleeping in their cabins. The Empress of Ireland sank within fourteen minutes to a depth of 130 feet. Before sinking, the ship rolled on its side preventing the launching of all the lifeboats. Of the 1,477 on the ship, 1,012 died. The Empress of Ireland never gained the fame of the Titanic because it wasn't as large or luxurious and it never claimed to be unsinkable. The Lusitania

Cameron (left) has a fascination with the Titanic A survivor of the Titanic disaster has turned down invitations to see James Cameron's 3D documentary about the shipwreck, according to reports. Millvina Dean, 91, from Hampshire, England, does not want to see the film by Cameron, who directed blockbuster hit Titanic, as it would be "too distressing," according to The Guardian. Ms Dean, who is one of only three people living of the 705 Titanic survivors, is quoted as saying: "I don't mind talking, but I don't want to see that film." Ms Dean was nine weeks old when she escaped from the sinking ship with her mother and brother in 1912, despite difficulties in reaching the deck from their third-class accommodation. But her father, who was taking them to start a new life in Kansas, was left behind and died along with 1,503 others. She has been critical of the industry which emerged around the tragedy, which she says began when the wreck was found in 1985.

Undersea Adventures: Explore Famous Shipwrecks and Sinkings FIRST-EVER MANNED SUBMERSIBLE DIVES TO BISMARCK SEATTLE, WA: She was Germany's most powerful battleship, so feared that the British Navy put every available warship to sea to intercept and sink her. Defeated in a fiery battle in May of 1941, the Bismarck now rests on the ocean floor a few hundred miles off the coast of Ireland, unseen by human eyes for 60 years. Now, a handful of adventurers can dive to the Bismarck with Zegrahm Expeditions and Deep Ocean Expeditions, participating in the first-ever manned submersible voyage to see the infamous German warship. Discovered by Dr. Robert Ballard in 1989 via remote vehicle, the Bismarck lies at a depth of approximately 15,000 feet. Upright in a field of undersea volcanoes, she is surrounded by a debris field littered with the machinery of war, including massive gun turrets. Using the MIR I and II, the same deep-diving submersibles utilized in Titanic dives, Operation Bismarck participants will descend into the cobalt depths of the North Atlantic to see what is undisputedly the most famous battleship in the world.

Titanic News: Titanic task for museums
Date: 28th June 2004 THE great shipwreck of all time is the RMS Titanic . Glorious, doomed and - until 1985 - lost at the bottom of the frigid Atlantic Ocean, along with the remains of 1523 passengers who drowned when the ship hit an iceberg and sank on its 1912 maiden voyage
Now, the great liner has begun a new journey. It is the flagship for myriad vessels that lie undiscovered beneath the waters of the world. It is also a symbol for the heritage crowd, eager to see shipwrecks - noble or humble - recognised as cultural sites. And plenty of such sites are out there, notes Mack McCarthy, a marine archeologist with the Western Australian Maritime Museum. "There are hundreds, if not thousands just in little old Australia," he says. Planet-wide? American underwater explorer Bob Ballard guesses that a million Grecian, Roman, Phoenician and other ships of antiquity lie at the bottom of the sea. The tally obviously skyrockets when more recent wrecks are included. Moreover, thanks to developments in exploration technology, pioneered by the likes of
