This has been my hypothesis for years actually. I used to toy around in the game "Sinking Simulator" and the best way to recreate the sinking of the Titanic involve not flooding the first compartment as it would help keep the bow buoyant long enough

Titanic was an incredible ship with incredible design even if she happened to sink but you can never 100% account for everything.

The problem with the first compartment is that its so small volumetrically (short and comes to a point at the prow) that it doesn't make much difference whether its flooded or not. The issue was the larger compartments like the 3rd hold and BR6. That's what it came down to in the end, if BR6 was intact the ship would either not have sank at all or sank much more slowly, we are talking about mere seconds, maybe even less than a second of contact with the iceberg making the difference between the ship sinking or not.

Typically, yes. Even in Titanics era, ships was built with "Collision bulkheads" in the bows in the event of ships colliding with each other (or even piers). Also with most ships designs, the actual frames are closer together as the angle narrows at the bow (and stern depending on design and steering gear weight). So yes, the bow was in most cases, the strongest part of the ship structurally.

I honestly hate wrong conclusions, which still for some reason are being promoted by documentaries and famous movies, and you channel is the best to find out the truth

I love your videos Sam, keep up the amazing Titanic content and I heard that they're going down to retrieve the marconi system from the Titanic wreck next year, I'm excited that they're finally doing it.

Titanic had sixteen "watertight" compartments. But they were not really watertight since they were open at the top above the waterline. The Battleship USS New Jersey is about the same size of the Titanic and it has well over 2000 watertight compartments and none of those were open anywhere.

@CactusQuade

hence why it'd take a heck of a lot to sink her ;) In my opinion, I'd like to think the best way to imagine the watertight compartments on the Titanic is to be as 'firezone boundaries'. A very detailed and exact frame of a ship from the water line to the bottom of the hull where if all watertight doors are closed it is completely isolated from the rest of the ship.

The damage to boiler room 6 might not have been quite THAT bad immediately after the collision, though it was still quite bad anyways. One thing that's important to remember is that for all the bow section is remarkably intact, it still slammed down quite hard when it reached the seafloor, with the section in front of the bridge sloping downwards into the sand while the rest of it lays flat on the sand. While I don't doubt that the damage to the side plating in boiler room 6 was still quite bad, I don't know if it was actually the same hole currently found on the wreck. With how hard the bow slammed down, it's possible that the damage to that area was made worse than it was immediately after the collision.

The ballast tanks on a passenger vessel are really from trim rather than stability. It's cargo vessels where they are important for stability, specifically when the ship is unloaded and would sit extremely high in the water. But of course when loaded these tanks are emptied as the cargo is providing the ballast, and emptying them allows more cargo.

THERE IS ALWAYS SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN about the TiTANIC!!!!!

Interesting, thank you. Never heard about this before.

Nice short video. Didnt know anything about this. Thanks

As a 7 year old ( it was when I first started getting really into studying Titanic) why all the illustrations back then showed the compartment flooding early on with the rest of the compartments when there had been no breach in the hull in that compartment. No one ever explained it back then, and said illustrations made it see like the compartment was not watertight or it seemed as if someone left a door open. Even today few people ever talk about it, and I think this is the first video I've ever seen to discuss this topic. I mean that compartment's rear bulkhead is also the collision bulkhead so it HAD to be watertight, or at least it had to be as watertight and as strong as possible to hold up to the ship smashing into various threats to the hulls of the Olympic Class. It had to at the very least slow any leaks enough that the crew could shore it up. The ship still had to sail to a safe harbor with its bow crushed in, and that would put A LOT of stress on any bulkhead. Ships of the US Navy were well known for the strength of their bulkheads during WWII. Countless times a heavily damaged USN ship could sail at speed or close to it with huge gaping holes in the hull while Japanese and German ships had to slow considerably as their bulkheads and any shoring up would fail if they travelled to quickly. Especially the Germans. I guess the USN wasn't too keen on having its ships travelling across the Pacific backwards... Well except for that one time! 🤣🤣🤣 The KMS Bismarck ( along with the Scharnhorst Class ) are a good example of this as the bulkheads and shoring up would fail over and over when the ship violently maneuvered trying to evade the torpedoes dropped by Ark Royal's Swordfish. USN and Royal Navy ships were able to, more often than not, travel at or near top speed as well as dodge incoming torpedoes. USS South Carolina is a good example of this when she was torpedoed. I'm still wondering why other nations designed such weak bulkheads when both the USN and RN could make their bulkheads so much stronger without adding too much weight if any excess weight at all. I mean the German ships had their sterns falling off if the enemy so much as looked at said sterns.

I'm no expert, but my wild ass guess leads me down one of two avenues-if the same number of compartments were breached, 1) severe flooding, but that's it. Limp home. 2) the weight of the water in the middle folds the keel and the ship breaks in two-this might happen as they steam home and more water is forced into the gash due to them moving forward.

Thanks for the information on the sinking. Would love to here your input of what was said in the hearing that Titanic was stable with her pumps and the additional pumps added, but when the captain tried to shorten the distance between her and RMS Carpathia water came over the water tight compartment and flooded the pump room which then doomed her.

Something I've never understood is how they said the compartments were water tight.

I've also wondered how long Titanic would've lasted if the compartments were truly water tight and none of it spilled over to the other compartments.

@barklet6110

Water didnt pour over each bulkhead as much as it trickled down stairs and similar openings from the above decks. It's possible there were watertight doors for the stairs but I don't think the designers expected water to ever reach that high.

Wow! So interesting! I heard bout the hissing sound in the first compartment. But didn’t realize it was the forpic tank that was flooded. So yes, 5 compartments flooded, not six.

Fascinating!

That was such a cute opening animation

This highlights something I've been trying to point out for years - which is that everything we know about the technical side of the sinking from movies did NOT come from Thomas Andrews. It came from Edward Wilding, one of Harland & Wolff's naval architects. Wilding did a sterling job of explaining things in the hearing afterwards, but was still working with incomplete data: Hemming gave his evidence literally only the afternoon before Wilding was first called, so wilding had no time at all to rework his calculations based on this new evidence. This led to the myth of the first 5 compartments filling up and overflowing into the next compartment, because with the data Wilding had, it was the best fit to explain what had happened that night. Closer re-examination showed that, basically, by 1:30, Titanic had stopped sinking. The peak wasn't full, and compartments 2 to 5 had filled as far as they could. Compartment 6 had only flooded in the forward coal bunker - and it wasn't until the coal bunker door gave way at 1:40 (and no, nothing to do with that fire which people like to rant about - the door was not designed to be a water-tight door) that flooding could continue. Depressingly, within 5 minutes of that moment, the ship sank the extra 18 to 24 inches required to overtop both of the bulkheads between compartments 1 & 2 AND compartments 5 & 6. Half an hour later the whole ship was gone. Incidentally, it was Wilding who gave us the immortal phrase "Mathematical certainty" relating to Titanic's sinking.

So, could the final flooding of the first compartment be responsible for the often reported “sudden lurch” the bow took after about an hour?

Nice!

I don't really see how it would *help* actually. I could be mistanken, but since the forward ballast tank was breached, empting the other ballast tanks just raises the stern, which dips the bow deeper into the water and accelerates flooding. That said, I'm not a SME...

The fore peak tank the same as the aft peak tank is a fresh water tank for the ships usage.

Fascinating that there’s still so much I haven’t learnt

I'm so amazed by the Titanics design, pretty much the perfect ship, for it's time at time at least. Though you can never 100% account for everything. Even if she sank she was an incredible ship.

Sam is it possible that there were some places in the Titanic that were still watertight and held air when she finally went down and hit bottom.

Sam I’ve watched most of your videos and have greatly enjoyed your insights . But being an old Navy guy, it’s clear to me that the Titanic’s “ water tight compartments” weren’t actually water tight. At least not in the sense of modern Naval vessels. In my world, water tight compartment bulkheads terminate with the deck directly above them, and that deck requires a watertight hatch . Therefore, the term watertight compartments could not have made the ship “ unsinkable” in any sense of the term, and I’m sure the designers knew it.

Would closing the exhaust pipe have done any difference? keeping the tank from flooding? ang did they purge the remaining ballast tanks to gain more buoyancy?

If they could have plugged the exhaust pipe, they might of prevented water from filling that tank. Maybe it would helped keep Titanic from dipping underneath the ocean?

This makes me wonder why the water tight compartments ended in a open manner instead of closed? The need to move people through open hatches which couldn’t be closed unlike a military vessel with watertight hatches?

Can you make a video about how accurate the Lego titanic is please

One might recall that during the sinking it was said that the ship took a sudden plunge and began sinking rapidly thereafter. I submit that the details in this video have to do with that fact. When water began to spill over into compartment 1 it would have caused the balance of the ship to nose down, and as the nose went lower the faster the water spilled over into compartment 1 meaning that once it began to flood it would have caused the ship to plunge quickly suddenly...and that sudden plunge then put the nose down more allowing more water from outside to flood in faster and faster.

Oh! _That's_ why it's called the Tank Top!
