      I've always wondered looking at Titanic's blueprints, boiler room 5 was compromised after she collided with the iceberg. The boiler rooms quickly flooded as water spilled over the bulkheads. How did no boilers exploded when the ocean water came into contact with them. The bravery those men showed was beyond words chief bells and his engineers along with the stokers knew they would die, but tried to keep titanic alive, Rest in peace you heros.

      It also makes you wonder if those in power have so trained us, that we’ll carry on doing our work, even when it’s to our own detriment. It seems like the powerful push us “lower classes” to believe in doing what’s best for everyone, while they do what’s best for them. It’s not a bad thing to do what’s best for everyone, and the bravery and persistence of selfless people have saved untold lives… but ya gotta wonder…

      Do ships engineers wear purple braids on their uniforms to remember titanic?
      ChatGPT said:
      ChatGPT
      No, ship engineers do not typically wear purple braids on their uniforms to remember the Titanic. In the maritime tradition, different colored braids or stripes on uniforms are used to signify rank and department rather than for memorial purposes.
      For example, on many ships, the following colors are used:
      Gold: Often used for deck officers (those who navigate the ship).
      Purple: Rare and not typically associated with any department.
      Red: Sometimes used for engineering officers in certain navies, but this can vary.
      The idea that purple braids are worn specifically to remember the Titanic is not a recognized tradition in the maritime community. Memorials and ceremonies, rather than uniform modifications, are more common ways of honoring the Titanic and its legacy.
      You’re so full of shitte.

    Here's why I think the Titanic's story will never die: (1) she was the world's biggest movable man-made object of her day, (2) she excelled in luxury, (3) she was on her maiden voyage (of all voyages), (4) there were many celebrities of the day on board, (5) there was already a lot of talk about all her features before she was ever launched (aka "unsinkability"), and maybe this too (6) she was the world's newest ocean liner of her time . The combination of these six factors seems to ensure that the Titanic's story never dies.

    @davidanderson1889 11 месяцев назад +6

    Nice docudrama. Filled with distorted half truths though. The coal fire in the bunker of boiler room 5 weakening the hull for example. Makes for good headlines, but that's about it because it just isn't so. Yes, there was a coal fire, but it was put out 4 days before the accident and given that the hull plating was steel and not iron, it made precious little difference to the hull integrity. Aside from the fact that the hull damage only extended a few inches passed the bulkhead into the coal bunker. The walls of the coal bunker was made of thin sheet metal, which was never designed to withstand the pressure of the water that filled the bunker to the top, out of sight of the firemen. The coal bunker collapsing had nothing to do with a "weakened hull". Another falsehood, or misrepresented fact was "a 300 foot long gash in the starboard side". Not true. Yes, the damage extended over 300 feet, but it was small holes torn into the side like morse code over a distance of 300 feet, the biggest about 20 feel in length where hull plates separated. Then the usual point of the ship not having enough life boats. The ship sank in about 2 1/2 hours, which was barely enough time to launch the boats there were. In fact the last boat had to be floated off the boat deck because th bow was under water up to the bridge by the time second officer Lightoller got to it. So any additional boats wouldn't have made any difference. There's more to say, but what's the point. However, the heroics by some of the crew as shown here, are in fact true and should be noted. The engineering staff acted courageously and bravely by doing everything they humanly could to keep the ship afloat as long as possible. An exemplary performance that sadly has been all but forgotten

    • @augoosto11
      @augoosto11 9 месяцев назад

      I'm not saying you're incorrect, but heat absolutely changes the molecular composition of steel. To an equal or greater degree than iron. It increases the hardness of the steel, making it more brittle and prone to fracture. Instead of bending, or warping, steel that's been allowed to get too hot without heat treating / annealing will snap or shatter. This sounds like (potentially) exactly such a case. It would have to be a pretty damn hot fire to do that, but it's well within the realm of possibility.

    1:31 The name also embodies defeat. The Titanic's troubles began with her very name; Titanic is the adjective for Titan, and the Titans in Greek mythology were a race who waged war against Zeus, the "god of gods." This is the part of the story that seems familiar to some. The part that seems unknown to most, shipbuilders at the time included, is that they lost :-D So, the ship's very name is actually symbolic of defeat
