Wrong. The Titanic was fucked over in one crucial area: despite having watertight compartments with watertight doors, the CEILINGS of the compartments were not watertight! Can you say "oversight"?Lord Pounder wrote:The ship herself was perfect, as only the Belfast Harland & Wolf(sp) Shipyard (RIP) could produce. However the captain was an idiot and hopefully he realised that as he drowned and froze to death.
In other words, once the iceberg made the gash, water would fill the compartments until it reached the top, then spill over into the next compartment! This pattern would slowly repeat itself all the way down ot the ship's stern.
Had the Titanic's watertight compartments been designed properly, she probably would not have sunk.
