    Suction Cause the Stern to Rise

    I'm not quite sure of how the stern could have gotten into nearly a vertical position after the break-up of the ship. What I think that more likely happened is that the stern somehow dislodged from the rest of the ship, but was still attached to it. Kinda like when you break your arm. Your...

    Stern Bridge

    When I look at pictures of the stern of Titanic/Olympic, I can see several structures on the stern bridge. But I can't say for sure what they are. I'm pretty sure I can see some engine telegraphs, and a phone box on a small pole. But do I see a ship's wheel? I see something that looks...

    Titanic - Olympic's Stern

    It appears that this holes in the stern plate (frame, or rudder post) had been used for some reason. The Olympic has 8 holes, while Titanic has five. I looks like the provision made for the attachment of a plate of some description. (?) The Titanic photograph shows a starboard view, while the...

    Stern Suction reported by Boxhall

    I'm intrigued by something that Mr. Boxhall said in his testimony after the sinking. He said that after he left Titanic in a lifeboat, he steered the boat around Titanic's stern and over to the starboard side of the ship. While near the stern of Titanic, Boxhall says he noticed a strong...

    Damage to stern

    I recently read that the damage to the stern after the Titanic sank was caused by an implosion as the water pressure built up on descent followed by an explosion as the trapped air finally escaped from the ship. Surely the latter would have caused a large "bubble" to rapidly rise to the surface...

    Could the stern have floated?

    When the titanic broke in two initially, the keel still attached the two together. At this this time the titanic's stern fell back to even level. The Titanic's sunken bow pulled the stern back up before breaking free, putting to stern in a position to sink. The stern had little to no water in it...

    THE STERN TWISTED AROUND AFTER THE BREAK

    Hi! Here I am again, out of my element on some technical issue that confounds me. I've followed the "Hydrodynamics and Suction" thread with much interest but as yet have noticed that no one is mentioning the fact (or what I have thought was a fact) that following the break-up of bow and...
