There wasnt ever any issue about how the Titanic was built or even how it was designed. The problem was how it was driven.. :wink:

I believe there is a theory that part of the problem was the way the steel was manufactured. It was supposedly too brittle and in cold temperatures was prone to cracking under stress. The main bulkheads also didn't go all the way to the top deck, allowing water to flow over the top into the next compartment which would flood and spill into the next, etc. None of this would have made a difference of course if the hull hadn't been impacted in the first place. History lesson complete for today. Tomorrows test will be on the League of Nations.

Interesting. Didnt know about the steel being brittle. Knew about the bulkheads. The designer was on the ship when it hit the iceberg. It wasnt too long after the damage assessment was done (the ship was barely listing at the time) that he calculated that the ship would indeed sink - it was never designed to have as many water-tight compartments compromised below the waterline as happened in the accident. "Unsinkable" was the marketing spin...
There are lies, damn lies, and marketing :wink:

Do you know why cowboy hats are turned up on the sides?



So they can fit three cowboys in a pick-up.



Okay, sorry 'bout that.

Sorry, I was inspecting funeral homes for handicapped access all day. I swear, if I could find a way to make money with pictures of toilets I could retire.

Here we go, I found a better-late-than-never Friday funny.

That was great Arlie. My 10 year old daughter BriLynn and I really enjoyed that video. I sent it on to everyone on my email list.
