bulkhead

Hello, I've been reading and doing research on the engines and how the power worked on the ship when I found a diagram of the watertight compartments and noticed that they are labeled A-P, excluding the letter "I". I was just curious why "I" was skipped over—is it a superstitious thing, or was...

Following the titanic disaster, I know the Olympic underwent a major refit, raising some bulkheads and adding an inner skin. I know that the Britannic was also altered to also fit these plans. Were the Britannic and Olympics new bulkhead design identical? I can only find images of Olympics...

Hello, I read the testimony of Captain James Henry Moore, the skipper of the "MOUNT TEMPLE" who gave testimony at the British Inquiry, and on question number 9346 Lord Mersey asked him " Do you have bulkheads drills ?" and the answer was " We have no doors in our bulkheads. We have no doors in...

Hello, i have heard that during the sinking one of Titanic's main bulkheads failed and collapsed, causing the compartment to be flooded and the ship to sink further, did this actually happen and is there any proof of it? Also, if you wondering, i'm doing ok when it comes to COVID-19, lockdown...

At the meeting with Carlisle Ismay said to lower the bulkheads so they could make the decks wider, Wouldn't that be to make them longer? And which decks were made longer/wider...E, D decks? Anyway that turned out to be a bad meeting. Lower the bulkheads and reduce the number of lifeboats...2...

I understand that there are some informative interior photographs of the relatively intact bow section of the Titanic wreck. Is there one showing the watertight bulkhead between boiler rooms #5 and #4? If so, what shape is it in and can they tell whether it 'failed' just after 02:15 am leading...

This is probably a quickie, but around what time in the morning would water start spilling over into Boiler Room 5?

I'm trying to understand the ship's arrangement around the Switchboard Platform. The turbine room is separated from the generator room by watertight bulkhead M on the Tank Top deck. Above the Generator Room, on the Orlop Deck, just aft of the bulkhead is a trapezoid-shaped room where the...

How much did the Lusitania's longitudinal bulkheads contribute to asymmetrical flooding, the big list and rapid sinking? If she had had no longitudinal bulkheads, could the Lusitania have survived longer or even be successfully beached?

The below is taken from an interview with the son of the Lloyd's rater who assessed the Titanic for Lloyds insurance: "I do not know if RH went regularly to England in inspect Cunarders or if this was an exceptional assignment, but in any case he was sent to Harlan and Wolff in Belfast to...

Hi again. I was just wondering how high the watertight bulkheads went. I remember something about the forward and aft ones went to d-deck, and the middle ones went up to e-deck, but this seems unlikely, because Scotland Road runs the length of e-deck. Can anyone help me? -Adam Lang

Hi all, Just thought I'd start a debate about the "collapse" of the buklhead between boiler room 5 and 6. However, Lord Mersey said that it was only the coal bunker door that failed, filling the boiler room with its contents. I recall doing some calculations and worked out that, given the time...

I think the desginers and other people were involed making the plans should have rasied the watertight doors higher. What do you think do you agree or disagree. Please explain your answer.
