waterline.” Eaton, John, Haas, Charles; page 16. Source 3 states that April 14, 11:40 P.M., 1912, “An ice burg is sighted dead ahead, but Titanic is sailing at almost 21 knots and cannot be turned quickly enough to port to avoid a collision along her starboard side.” National Geographic: Titanic, page 98. Also stating on source 3 is on April 15, 1:50 a.m. 1912, “ Two hours of steady flooding settles the bow. The ship gradually lists to port, and by about 1:50 a.m. the water reaches a gangway…

sailing. At 1:40 p.m. on May 7, U20, a German submarine led by Kapitän-leutnant Schwiege, saw the Lusitania. At 2:10 p.m., Schwiege fired a torpedo at the Lusitania. Schwiege then recorded in his log, The ship stops immediately and heals over to starboard quickly, immersing simultaneously at the bow. It appears as if the ship were going to capsize very shortly. Great confusion is rife on board; the boats are made ready and some of them lowered into the water. In connection therewith great…

Officer Murdoch ordered the ship to full reverse and hard to port which basically means to turn left. One major design flaw came into play here, the rudders were too small so the ship did not turn in time and so the ship hit the iceberg on her starboard side leaving a tiny trail of small punctures in the hull. These small breaks were all that was needed to seal the fate of titanic and her passengers for now over 400 tons of water was pouring in…

106 years ago the tragedy struck; and 706 people sat on lifeboats or clung onto chairs and boards for their lives, while others said their final words on a ship once called unsinkable. People watched as the grand ship split in half after hitting an iceberg. The bow split from the stern and spiraled down to the bottom of the Atlantic, not to be found for another 73 years by Robert Ballard. The stern stuck up in the air and went down under the sea like an “elevator.” It wasn’t nature’s fault, so…

Teachers and principals on a given can be found at different campuses each year. What is even more amazing is that a former student will recognize one after fifteen plus years. This happened to me. I happen to choose Doerre Intermediate due to being in the area close to where my kids go for just in case emergencies. I received my response email from Mrs. Garcia stating I can go ahead and contact the school, and it turns out that Mr. Domino is the principal I need to speak with. He was the…

1) The system that holds the fresh water making system shall be designed in such a manner to achieve 100% redundancy during installation. If the fresh water plant on board is less then 2, each plant should be able to produce and supply 100% of the ship’s total daily requirement. If the fresh water plant on board is more then 2, all plant should be of equal capacity with one plant being spare. 2) To prevent contamination of the water, the fresh water tank shall not be joined to another system…

was fitted with a huge ram under the waterline. The smash drilled holes, both above and below the water line and also popped out thousands of rivets. The heavy and complex steel frames were buckled, the hull plating was gashed and above all, the starboard propeller and crankshaft were distorted. To make the matters worse, the keel was bent giving a permanent damage to the ship. This almost sealed the fate of Olympic. Later, UK Navy investigated the crash and found that the mistake was on the…
