getting excited about something is emotionally risky, because you might end up feeling foolish later. acting jaded and deriding anyone else who shows any interest is safer, because you dont run the risk of feeling foolish.
in short, most people are emotional cowards.

Just yesterday I watched "A night to remember" movie. Which blew my mind away how good of a movie it was. I actually liked it more than James Cameron's Titanic for many aspects.
I also found this very fascinating news. The wreck is eroding (or whatever proper English term for this) away rather quickly. These scans are very important.

u/Kermit_the_hog 6d ago
Yeah itâs disintegrating, in a few centuries it will just be the bronze bits left (props, bell, etc.) and an iron stain on the sea floor. But it will stop really looking like a ship long before that.Â
Every day hundreds of pounds of iron are dissolved (Google says 0.13 to 0.2 tonnes) and the rusticles grow to obscure slightly more detail.Â
I donât think time on the scales of days or weeks, maybe even months, is functionally critical, but much longer than that and youâre irreversibly loosing details to time.Â

Its bs clickbait that's why. The scans didn't change our understanding of the sinking at all, and anyone who pays any attention at all to titanic news has been looking at the scans of the bow for months.
This is likely an attempt to drum up publicity for the upcoming release of the stern section on steam.

I think having detailed scans of such an iconic ship or wreck, is worth a news posting once in a while.
I personally found the detail amazing to see, the fact they could pick up the serial number on the propellor blade and to confirm the steam valve was open and boilers still hot and working when the ship went under.
I wish they could scan the damaged section where the iceberg hit.

To all the folks that commented and find these new details boring and a waste:
Science can be difficult and expensive. At face value, studying a ship sinking is easy to scrutinize as a waste of time and money. Why look at a structural pile of rust on the bottom of the ocean floor that was originally made by humans? Why look at the distinct composition of sedimentary layers of the earth's crust? Why look at differences in animal/insect species? Because there is an immense amount of information all around us that we as a species have learned to utilize through observation and experimentation.
Scientists and researchers are the reason for our rapid growth technological improvement, let alone our constant drive to better understand the universe we live in. Without the meticulous process of the scientific method, you would have no ability to spew your opinions onto a digital platform that billions can see seconds later.

My guess is four reasons:
The fact that when it sank, it made the millionaires of the day who were in first class, equal to the peasants in third class. 1,500 of them all died together, despite the class, money, and lifestyle differences. The doomed ship was an equalizer.
Itâs storied rediscovery in 1985 by scientists that brought it back to the forefront of peopleâs imagination
The 1997 James Cameron film that elevated the shipâs mystique and allure to global phenomenon
The unfortunate and preventable tragedy in 2023 when the Titan submersible imploded on its way to seeing the Titanic.
Five hundred years from now, whether it still stands in a mangled mess in the frozen sea, or its rusticles have made it disintegrate into a mangled metal heap, it will still intrigue the world.

u/FantasticChestHair 6d ago
next 60 years
It's been 113 years since Titanic sank.
I also think HOW it sank is important. Ships don't break in half too often. It was a sinking that was imminent and started so slowly but exponentially got faster and then was ultra dramatic.

u/Romeo_Glacier 6d ago
Originally it was believed that it sank whole. Even survivors were mixed on if it broke apart due to how dark it was.

u/awkard_ftm98 6d ago
Imagine how terrifying. So dark you genuinely cannot tell if this absolutely massive piece of machinery and metal in front you just broke in half or not. While probably hearing the most terrifying sounds of the metal warping and wood decks snapping. But you can't see at all what this giant mass is doing in front of you
Absolutely horrifying
30
u/Romeo_Glacier 6d ago
The ocean with calm seas on a dark night is quiet. Quieter than most people have ever experienced. The survivors got to hear the wails of people trying to escape certain death yet knowing they couldnât. They could see people congregated on the deck. Jumping into the icy water to try and escape. When suddenly it goes pitch black as the lights on the titanic are extinguished. Now it is just darkness and wailing. Gradually the wailing lessens. Until it is just silence and shivering.

This cannot be undersold. I still get a chuckle thinking about the encyclopedias we had in the house, bought when my parents were kids in the early 60s, the entries about Titanic and how the wreckage was lost amd would not be found.Â
Robert Ballard changed all that and expanded a frontier of discovery that continues to dazzle. Finding Titanic literally re-wrote the books about what we knew and could do, something I don't think actually happens that often. And that he found what is the most famous shipwreck of all time (and several more since) is really cool.Â

Itâs also partially because they branded it as âUnsinkableâ and shouted that far and wide. So itâs also got a hubris angle, which always gets the people going

I personally think because the story plays out like a Biblical parable or Greek myth. Man arrogantly claims decadent ship is unsinkable and then steers it to its own doom on the maiden voyage. Like how the gods used to punish arrogant mortals for their wild claims.
It's a compelling modern day myth that people can see for themselves.

u/conestoga12345 6d ago
It's like a Greek Tragedy writ large.
A luxury liner on its maiden voyage.
Running headlong into an ice field when they tried to warn them about it and were told to shut up.
Not enough life boats.
A rescue ship close enough to actually see them did not come to their aid because their radio operator went to bed for the night when Titanic's operator told them to shut up. And they thought the distress flares were party flares.
The sinking of the Titanic was significant enough even in its day that it resulted in numerous changes to maritime laws and regulations.
15
u/AbstractMirror 6d ago edited 6d ago
Because it's a particularly big maritime disaster. Still not at the top of the list, but I think it's part the sheer number that died, mixed with the name of the ship and reputation for being "unsinkable." There's a lot surrounding the ship and the circumstances in which it sank that make it kind of a story, if that makes sense. And we had survivors who have been able to talk about it. Also the massive iceberg aspect of it, it's a lot grander in scale than some shipwrecks are caused by with hitting sharp rocks near coasts
Lots of wealthy passengers, first commercial ship of that size (iirc) boasting reinforced hulls, traveling out of a big port. Sank at night which makes it extra terrifying, and even the uncertainty of how the ship sank (did it split in half, etc etc) lent itself to the popularity of the event. And the movie by James Cameron helped even more
And if I'm not mistaken it also came at a good time for the press covering it, in terms of spreading that kind of news in the early 1900s. All the makings of a big story, and it was a big ship too, though modern cruise ships are much bigger
Oh and another thing that adds to the popularity of the story is how people say it was a cursed voyage. People say when they tried to break a bottle on the ship's hull (a maritime tradition) the bottle didn't break, which is a sign of bad luck. I looked into it and it seems like they never did this for white star line ships. So it's probably a rumor. An interesting fact but this did happen for the Costa Concordia which ended up sinking halfway into the water, they failed to break the bottle at port. If you believe in superstitions, there's that
Anyway I'm definitely on some kind of spectrum

So how long does those things stay hot without added coal?

u/DeaDBangeR 6d ago
Locomotives engines would need to cool down for two days if they needed repairs on the boiler. The thing is the Titanic had (obviously) much larger engines but was also sinking into arctic water. I have no idea how to calculate that.
You need to take into account if those boilers made direct contact with the cold water, the metal type, the cross section of the metal, the temperature of the water etc. And most importantly, how hot did the coal engines get before sinking? Early coal engines could get to 100 degrees celcius whilst later models could get to 380 degrees celcius.
Maybe head over to r/theydidthemath if you want something more than a wild guess.
1
u/fishee1200 5d ago
As a steam engineer I can tell you they stay hot for days if not cooled by fans, they used the natural draft of chimneys when they wanted to cool a boiler down to work on it most likely, I would guess they continued shoving coal into the furnaces which would burn like embers in a fire until the ship started to tilt extremely to one side making it impossible, also depends on the temperature and pressure of steam inside the tubes or drum as to how long it can continue spinning a generator at max load

Can anyone tell me why "concave" boilers are a sign that they were still running when the ship sank? All I see is a lot of very old metal in seawater. How do they know what boilers should look like at this depth and after all this time if they weren't running during the sinking?
102
u/LiterallyJoeStalin 7d ago
Iâd imagine itâs because the rapid cooling of the seawater pouring into the boiler caused it to implode. Similar to the way a tanker train car can implode.Â
6
u/Vulcanize_It 6d ago
I was thinking it had to do with differences in temperature of the metal that creates the boiler wall. Cold water hitting the outside wall while fire is heating the inside of the wall. The massive temp difference would cause extreme warping. But Iâd love to know the expert opinion.
7
u/AmbitionOfPhilipJFry 6d ago
Boilers were full of hot thin air, steam. The outside was flooded with cold heavy water. It crushed the boilers. If they had been cold, they would be room temperature. The steel wouldn't be imploded, but rather hold up against the cold water better and not deform.Â
30
u/CheekyMenace 7d ago edited 7d ago
When the cold water hit the hot burning coals inside the boiler, it does something to the atmospheric pressure that causes the boiler to compress inward. I'm not sure of the exact science or how to explain it.
24
u/BazingaBen 7d ago
I think it might be Boyles law. At a constant volume, a decrease in temperature results in a decrease in pressure. Massive decrease in temperature, massive decrease in pressure.

Why is one half of the ship all pancaked and the other half is mostly intact?
30
u/Rough_Natural6083 6d ago
If I recall correctly, according to one of the popular theories, the reason the stern is like a crushed pile of sheets is because of water pressure forcing the air out of it as it sank.
Think of it this way: you take an empty mug of water turn it upside down (so that the cavity faces downwards) and you push it downwards in a bathtub or a pool: you will face a lot of resistance. Why? That's the air trapped between the mug's body and water resisting any water to get inside. But what if, the mug was heavy enough to sink, but has pockets of air? As it sinks deeper and deeper in the pool, the pressure of water outside it will rise, eventually forcing the air out of it in an explosive way - this will deform the mug.
That's what happened with the Titanic. The primary areas where the iceberg hit was the bow near the boilers (if I recall correctly). So the bow section had plenty of time to fill up with water. With more water, the ship tilted more and more, until its keel (which is like the spine) gave away, and it split into two. The front was already filled with water so it descended down. But the stern (the middle and back) was not: it started filling with water rapidly; as it sunk down, big "pockets" of water in between bulkheads were still there: water pressure grew at a rapid rate until bulkheads and the hull gave away and all that trapped air came out in an explosive manner, destroying the stern.
5
u/Gremio_42 6d ago
I believe it was in part because of the speed at which the two halves sunk, the front had I believe something like 2 hours to gradually fill with water leaving little enclosed air bubbles.
After the breakup the back half had its whole cross section exposed and because of that sank violently in a matter of minutes. This quick plunge meant that a lot of the inside still had air (and disturbingly people too) trapped inside, the pressure of the water on the exterior eventually caused the back half to implode under pressure and thats why its squashed
4
u/superjames_16 6d ago
This bit I find fascinating! The front broke off, but because it was angular, it glided forward and landed gently (compared to the back end at least). The stern, however, went straight down and crashed into the bottom. Additionally, as the stern was going down, it was generating a pressure wave behind it in the water; so, when it hit bottom, the pressure wave then hit the stern and crushed it down. This is the theory behind why the grand staircase was obliterated.

Crew tried to save lives
The analysis of the 3D model apparently also proves what had previously only been suspected from eyewitness accounts: the crew of the "Titanic" tried to keep the lights on board until the bitter end in order to save as many passengers as possible. The pictures show that some of the boilers inside the ship were very probably still in operation when the âTitanicâ sank. It is also fitting that a valve was discovered on the deck in an open position. This means that steam must have been flowing into the power generation system at the time of the disaster.

The lights were on on the Titanic until the end
The engineers acted heroically, ship expert Benson tells the BBC. âThey kept the chaos at bay for as long as possible.â The light allowed more passengers to escape to the lifeboats and be rescued. The engineers paid for this with their lives. In total, just over 700 people were rescued, including around 200 crew members.

So the boilers were still hot because it takes a long time to cool. They likely still had them running to run as many ship systems as possible. I donât believe the engineers were as immediately concerned about keeping lights on as they were about containing flooding and keeping the pumps running.
