Hitting the berg on the other side of the ship wouldnt have been a minor change though thats a pretty major change...

Here are two interrelated questions assuming all other facts remained the same. 1. How much sooner would the crew have needed to spot the iceberg to have been able to avoid hitting it? 2. How much slower would the Titanic have had to be traveling for the crew to have avoided hitting the iceberg if they had spotted it when they did?

They did not get struck by a rouge berg they were in an ice field they were gona hit something at that speed. The survivors said they couldn't believe the sight of ice all around as the dawn broke.

I don't personally think it would have taken place (Titanic capsizing), as: 1. The heavy port list was more due to the D deck gangway door and the flooding of the associated big hall. Had the coal been enough to capsize it to port, it would have had when the water flooded D deck. 2. The bulkheads of the Titanic allow roughly even flooding to take place, with any listing kept to a minimum. Due to this, when the water would reach above the bulkheads, the tilt would be minimum. 3. If we look at the sinking of her sister Britannic, she had a huge hole instead of damaged rivets. Despite this it did not develop a list till later in the sinking. Her starboard list was due to the portholes. While the E deck portholes were open on both sides, the ship was moving to starboard which tilted the ship a bit, thereby allowing greater water influx from the starboard side and ultimately taking over. Long story short, it is very unlikely for Titanic to capsize. In fact, she was made in a way to prevent capsizing, as it omitted the bulkhead arrangement like that in Lusitania. The explanation given by White Star was based on this premise as well, when enquired about the design of the bulkheads.

The capsize would happen very fast. The list would start quite slowly but progress faster and faster as the ship was taking on water, to come to an eventual moment where the balance of water would just make the ship capsize in mere seconds. Great video as usual!

I consider myself something of an amateur Titanic-o-phile, and I admit this is a scenario I never even thought of. Yes, I can definitely see that striking on the other side would have been an even bigger disaster. Well done!

I'm guessing they wouldn't of even had much time to assess the situation before realizing that they were totally screwed. They might not have even had enough time to send out any distress signals or launch any lifeboats. If that was the case, we'd probably would have never known what even happened to the ship let alone be able to locate it eventually. It would have been one of those 'it mysteriously vanished' stories

True. It would have been like one of those flight got disappeared incidents except that the loss of life count would be much much higher. And the worst part is, you cannot find the ship at all!. Even with almost accurate location it took about 70 years to find it. Imagine if there is no location at all!. Its just lost for ever. Even now my heart pains to see those underwater clips and to think that its just there but we cant do anything about it but just let it erode away year by year :( and some day there wont be anything left of it :(. Many people have said that its a lost purpose to try to lift the titanic underwater and some of the survivors of the titanic have asked not to disturb it because its like a graveyard for the lost souls. True, but still it pains. I would say the crew on Titanic handled the situation at their best and set high standards for ever.

Absolutely loving this channel man, definitely dig into more of these what if scenarios. Beyond just exploring what could have been, it also really delves into what DID happen and forces facts to the forefront.

I completely agree with you, Sam - I think, given the coal situation, and Scotland Road, that if the Titanic had struck the iceberg on the port side, she wouldn't have lasted even an hour. I also agree with you that, as bad as it was, it could have been so much worse. For everything that went wrong on that night, a lot of things went right enough, to save those 712 people.

I’ve got this burning question about the watertight compartments. If the titanic had transverse bulkheads across the top of the compartments, would that have been enough to prevent the ship from sinking since the water can no longer flow over the top of the compartments? Or would six rooms flooded still be too much buoyancy lost to stay afloat?

Britannic (and Olympic post-refit) would likely have survived. By design, they would have been able to stay afloat with the forward 6 compartments flooded.

Your account is amazing - I mean seriously! Just so great to listen to someone who so clearly has such a passion/interest. I was gonna ask, regarding the sinking theory, do you reckon the weight of the engines/boilers would have stopped the ship fully capsizing? Or do you reckon they'd become detached and contribute to the roll?

Sam, you're unbelievable! I always wonder how the present ships would sink if they struck the iceberg. How much time people would have? Is there any way to prevent ship by listing to any side at building/constructing them ? A video like that would've been awesome! Have a great day, Sam! Greetings from Poland!

If Titanic had listed further, some of the funnels could have collapsed. Which would not only kill people, it probably also would have disabled the wireless antenna.

So when I make my videos I do my best to try and keep it as family friendly as possible, so everyone can enjoy learning about these events from history.

I really like your ship models

On the other hand, if Titanic hit the iceberg on the port side, Lightoller probably wouldn't have ordered the port side door opened due to the developing list, meaning the water throughput would be limited by the openings made by the iceberg only.

As always, thanks for these videos Sam, they are very well done. This is why I feel that there is a God because there's no way that these things which helped the Titanic last longer could happen just by chance. Here are some ideas for future 'What if Titanic' videos: 1. What if the crew had enough time to get Collapsibles A and B down and lower them into the water? Everything else prior would be the same and Boat A landed upright, Boat B landed upside down, but Titanic sank at 2:30am instead of 2:20, or the lifeboat launching sequence happened slightly faster and by 2:10am both lifeboats were away (Boat B just got away). The video could also include who quite possibly would have been in those lifeboats. 2. Everything that happened the night the Titanic sank is the same, but the temperature at the time the Titanic sank is +4 degrees Celsius or slightly warmer than that? 3. What if the watertight bulkheads went up to B-deck like on the Olympic and Britannic after the sinking -- how much longer would Titanic have remained afloat, or would that have mattered. Here's a question that you could do a video on, Why didn't the Britannic break in two when she went down? Cheers. Josh.

love the detailed model of the Titanic

One small thing that bothers me, and it may sound trivial. It is not the weight of the water that pulls the ship down and causes it to sink. The weight of the ship verses the loss of buoyancy is what caused the Titanic to sink.

Considering the ship was already listing to port, the initial flooding would have caused a very significant list to port. Enough of a list would have caused her to capsize once the waterline reached high enough.

@Ronofthedead07

3 жыл бұрын

Even if she didn't capsize, the heavy list would have made it pretty much impossible to launch any of the lifeboats.

Love the channel & video idea what if Titanic lasted longer than she actually did say about 30 minutes- an hour longer

Hey bro! Love the videos! You should do a video on something that would be very interesting. You should talk about the "Titan". The ship from the book called "The Wreck of the Titan or Futility". That would make for one cool video! :)

I know that you probably don't have time for this, but my great grandpa was actually supposed to be on Titanic. He was originally from Ireland and had been living in the U.S. for quite awhile. He had to go back to take care of some personal business and made the trip back on the Olympic. He was booked to return on the Titanic. BUT the night before departure he went out drinking and was passed out when Titanic set sail so he missed the ship. My great grandpa's drinking is actually the reason that I exist today!

Hi I love your videos I wanna request a video on MS Munchen or SS El Faro

This is a good theory, I like to think about this now, it is eventful & cool.

historic travels vs the bright side David vs goliath lets go historic

Great insight! We would also know a helluva lot less about that night too since far fewer people (aka eye witnesses) would have made it and been able to share stories that could be pieced together.

Dude such a great ideal!

So, what I'm hearing is, it was pure dumb luck that Murdoch ordered the ship to turn to starboard and present the side of the ship that would offer the most resistance to sinking? It could quite easily have been a loss of all life if not for that decision. I'd like to think that Murdoch did know that the ship was vulnerable to sinking on her port side, but somehow I doubt it and think he chose the tiller command based upon what he thought would give the ship the best shot at clearing the iceberg.

Another excellent video - so, based on what you say here and in a previous video, the worst case for impact would have been port-side at the stern?

Hello Sam lots of love from Turkey 🇹🇷

Hey Sam, Great job once more! Really interesting observations! I'm so looking forward to Empress of Ireland! 😎👍 Here's a what if that you could possibly use for a future video. I believe I've mentioned before... What would happen if the Britainic struck a iceberg just like Titanic did? What would be the differences in the disaster considering the upgrades the Britainic had.... ie. the taller water tight bulkheads, greater reinforced hull, and improved expansion joints. So what do you think Sam? Thanks again for all your efforts on the videos you produce!

Can you please do a video on things that might have been used by anyone to stay afloat on after she sank like furniture, doors or bathtubs etc? love the channel thanks

So basically after the ship hit the iceberg, it had the weight of the engines weighing it down in the back, water weighing it down in the front, and tons of coal weighing it down towards one of its sides. It is a wonder with this ship being pulled in so many different directions at once, that all it did was break in half and not start pulling apart in different areas as well.

Fascinating

So now I wonder what effect the 300 tons of relocated coal had on the Titanic's ability to steer, and how that would have affected the crew's last-second attempt to swing around and dodge the iceberg.

amazing

But this also isn't taking into account that the iceberg isn't symmetrical and the steel on the port side wasn't as compromised as the starboard side was due to the fire. The damage would be different as it is, and it may have been survivable as well if there at all.

Before watching the video, a wild guessing: In real history, the water coming from the Mail Room and Cargo Room areas on starboard side changed sides and then flooded the port side by invading the wide Scotland Road. If the iceberg hitted Titanic on the port side instead, the wide Scotland Road would have contributed to a quicker flooding and a stronger list to port, maybe even leading to a capsize, which would have made loading the lifeboats much more difficult, especially on Murdoch's starboard side. I assume that in the end, the outcome would have been even worse.

I'm curious as to what would have happened had Lightholler not left the port side door open. Would the ship have stayed afloat even longer?
