mr.David there was evrything wrong. because bulkheads were not capped at top sow ater easily could overflow and fill next one.when three cargoholds were completly full most likely forepeak was also flooded at this time but not on first hour after collision..titanic was basically just opened jar.
they were bringing these hoses in hope to keep the boiler room 5 dryboiler room 6 was already dead waters could not be stopped there,titanic last stand was boielr room 5,even with three holds boiler room 6 flooded titanic COULD stay afloat longer,water could never be stopped but only slowed down eoungh for help to come,when boiler room 5 flooded there was only short time left for titanic to stay afloat and notthing could be done.boiler room 5 was technically titanic last chance.
did they try to use ash ejectors to pump out water aswell?
I think you may need to learn a thing or million about floodable length curves and stability figures which is what guys like Captain Brown and Sam Halpern live with on a day to day basis. (You might also want to get your thoughts focused because much of your post is a confused jumble.)
As a sailor, I lived with all of that as well, even if I didn't know that I was living with it, as part of the damage control organization on every ship I was assigned to during my Navy career.
Since you appear to have a fixation on the bulkheads being capped, I'll just address that one. Are you ready for this?
Cool....here it is: The bulkheads WERE capped. All of them....every single one. These caps are called "decks"...those flat surfaces everybody walks on. There was NO ice cube tray effect where flood waters would rise to the top and spill to the other side.
Now, what these decks did NOT have were any sort of hatches or scuttles which could be closed to render them watertight. Water would come up....true enough....but with the bow tilting down, all that water would spill run forward. It would seem to "Go back" as the bow sank deeper and the floodwaters rose to match the new waterline. When it reached another ladderwell going down, it would them spill down that opening in the deck into the section below.
Now here's something else to think about: Most modern merchant vessels and even passenger ships STILL do not have decks with watertight hatches and scuttles. For the most part, there's no need as the bulkheads will go up high enough to meet current SOLAS standards.
What you need to understand is that in many respects, the watertight subdivision standards an Olympic class liner could meet exceed what a lot of passenger vessels do even today. The two compartment standard which is regarded as the minimum is treated as the maximum. If more than two sections are breeched, it's time to go swimming.
With Titanic, a minimum of FIVE has to be breeched to turn a bad day into a worse day. The most common accident even today is a collision in which no more than two sections are breeched. It was the kind of accident and Olympic class ship could survive with a wide margin to spare.
What nobody thought about was what happens when you use an iceberg for a can opener which leaves up to SIX compartments open to the sea. NO modern passenger vessel today is....as far as I know....capable of surviving that kind of damage.
(I'm open to hearing about any examples which are!)
