stern

I am making a stern wreck model and since the TRMA page is no longer operational I have lost alot of references, so anybody that could link me to videos or photos to the stern wreck I would be very greatful.

I find the conjecture that the sinking stern of the Titanic 'imploded' soon after sinking rather difficult to comprehend, particularly in relation to the sinking stern. Why would the air pockets "burst inwards"? I am a retired scuba diver and have visited over 25 ship wrecks around the world...

How far do you believe the bow and stern had drifted apart after they broke on the surface? Lightoller believed the screams were "half a mile" away from his boat. Jack Thayer saw the bow moving forwards and presumably away from the stern as she separated, and survivors estimated the stern was...

Hello I know similar questions to this have already been answered, however it is something that I am morbidly fascinated with and I am hoping to obtain some further viewpoints on it from learned people such as yourselves. From time to time my imagination conjures up mental images and...

Hello everyone Well I’ve just watched James Cameron’s new documentary 20 Years Later (which I only found out about earlier) and saw that when they sank the model ship the stern attained a vertical position after the break up like previously shown in the 97 film. But in the 2012 Final Word...

Did the stern really turn round over the area where the bow sank after the break up? No sinking simulations show this and it doesn’t seem to be mentioned at all. Several eyewitnesses claim this happened, even Lightoller. So did it happen and what do you guys think? Luke

Just out of curiosity, would it be possible for someone in the water, close to the ship, to feel the breakup as vibrations in the water? Like when a firework goes off super close by or just very loud music in general, you can feel the bass of those sound waves in your chest. Would a similar...

Why did the stern trap so much air? I know I might of asked this before, but I just have to know. Also.. Why did the bow dig into the floor of the ocean.. while on the topic of the bow, why did the hatch on the forecastle deck blow off?

I noticed the crane doors are different on the Olympic. Was there a reason for the difference? Titanic (left) Olympic (right) The Olympic in 1922. Was it necessary to have so many door handles on the Olympic? .

Is 2.20am really the time the Titanic sank or simply the time she 'disappeared' from most of the survivors' view? Perhaps the stern was still afloat for a considerable time after she broke. Survivors heard horrific screams that lasted about 10 minutes after the ship had 'disappeared' but...

The heavy weight of the engines was causing a bend in Titanic's double bottom. Does this mean the double bottom was weakened and did the breakup start there? this would go perfectly with the V breakup theory, because the double bottom would of held on and water would seep through, causing the...

I'm puzzled by the sinking of the stern. Survivors saw the stern settle back and remain horizontal for about 5 minutes with the belief that the stern was going to float, while other survivors said the stern rose up and remained in an upwards position almost vertical for a long time. Was it...

Hello, I have two burning questions about the Empress. 1. What colour was the hull? Some pictures show it as green but some show it as red. 2. Did the ship sink stern first or bow first? Some paintings show it sinking stern first.

Survivors saw the ship break in two between the 2nd and 3rd funnel. We don't know how clean the break was and how much of the bow was still connected to the stern, but one can guess that the lower decks were still connected to a degree and supplied power to the stern. I have also heard that...

Hi, Why do we have so little coverage of the stern section? I know it's in worse condition than the bow section, but, I've read it's "dangerous" for them to go venturing in that area. In what way is it dangerous? Can, someone please fill me in. Thanks.

I think it has been said that a major reason for less focus on the stern during dives is because there is nothing to see, partly due to the damage to the stern. Has any attempt been made to explore the lower decks where the hull has torn and fallen away?

How high did Britannic's stern rise out of the water when It was sinking.

In shipwreck movies, which do you prefer: 1. The ship sinking by the bow or: 2. The ship sinking by the stern I like both!

I don't get why the stern section falling to the ocean floor in the sinking simulation was cut from the film.

Since this is a "what if..." thread, I want to ask about a hypothetical scenario whereby the impact with the iceberg caused exactly the same amount of overall damage (as calculated in square feet by Edward Wilding) to the Titanic but affected mainly the stern instead of the bow. If this damage...
