Hidden Truths and Surprising Facts about The Titanic

Hidden Truths and Surprising Facts about The Titanic

• The Titanic crashed into a large iceberg in 1912, requiring a massive block of ice to lift it to the surface.

• The process involved wrapping the wreck in wire mesh and covering it with liquid nitrogen.

• The difficulty was in wrapping the ship completely, requiring lifting the ship slightly.

• Large tanks of liquid nitrogen were transported underwater, but the cold water of the Atlantic Ocean made the nitrogen sizzle and not create a block of ice around the mesh.

• A new attempt involved using huge magnets to raise the Titanic, but the operation was not successful due to the weight of the wreck and the colossal water pressure.

• A $5 million operation failed due to the strong water pressure and the failure of the nylon slings attached to the rack.

• A large piece of the Titanic weighing 21 tons was pulled up, but it broke due to the strong water pressure.

• A book and movie were written and made about the operation, but no one attempted it.

• The operation required several hundred large cylinders of compressed air, which float upwards when lower under water, complicating the operation.

Exploring the Titanic's Raising Plan

• Scientists propose extracting hydrogen and oxygen from ocean water to raise the Titanic.

• The extracted elements are then filled into containers attached to the ship, allowing the Titanic to rise to the surface.

• The process could cost billions of dollars and could result in the entire world ocean being left without vital oxygen.

• A potential solution involves lowering boxes of dynamite to the ocean floor, which must be sealed to prevent it from getting wet.

• A large hook that can lift the Titanic from the bottom is needed, but this requires a large cruiser and a submarine with mechanical arms.

• The use of hot wax to harden and float on the water surface is considered, but it is not an expensive material.

• The containers are placed inside the Titanic through a remote control, but the wax doesn't pour out as the colder the water gets.

• The containers float away to the surface, and once released, the wax solidifies in an instant, covering the Titanic from within.

William Thomas Dead's Short Story on the Titanic Sinking

• William Thomas Dead, a British sailor, wrote a short story about the Titanic sinking in the mid-Atlantic in 1886.

• The story, which was published 26 years before the sinking, focuses on a British sailor named Thomas who survived the sinking by jumping into the water and climbing into a lifeboat.

• The story sparked industry interest in adding extra lifeboats on ships, but received little attention.

• Thomas was a journalist who contributed to the use of illustrations in newspaper articles and introduced newspaper interviews.

• The One Piece Theory, the first version of the sinking, claims that the sinking happened without any breakups.

• The theory suggests that the ship collided with an iceberg at 2:15 a.m., reached an angle of 45°, and plunged into the ocean depths to 20 a.m., only about 3 minutes later, the RMS Titanic disappeared under the surface of the ocean.

The Titanic's Sinking Theories

• The Titanic, the world's largest ship and the largest ever built, was reportedly sinking in April 1912.

• Survivors claimed the ship broke in two during flooding, but no evidence was found.

• In 1985, Robert Ballard discovered the wreckage, confirming the first breakup theory.

• A new theory proposed that the ship broke in two during sinking, with the Keel breaking, the starboard list eases, and the hole continues to bow and crumble.

• The theory was criticized for having plot holes, as the Titanic couldn't have held together until it reached such a high angle.

• In 2006, naval architect Roger Long proposed the V Theory, which suggested the breakup began at a shallow angle, with the upper structure failing and cracking.

• This theory has been disproven many times, but Roger Long believed it due to the mangled upper decks in the bow section.

• The first theory, the one-piece theory, claimed that the sinking of the RMS Titanic happened without breakups.

• The theory was based on the fact that the ship collided with an iceberg at 2:15 a.m., reached an angle of 45°, and began its final plunge into the ocean at 20 a.m.

• However, this theory was challenged by survivors who claimed that the ship broke in two during the flood.

• In 1985, Robert Ballard found the wreckage of the Titanic, confirming that the ship broke in two during the sinking.

• This led to the development of a new theory, the V Theory, which suggested that the breakup began at a shallow angle, possibly as little as 11°.

• This theory was based on the VRE theory, which suggested that the Titanic could not have held together until it reached such a high angle.

• Roger Long, a naval architect, proposed the V Theory in 2006.

• This theory suggests that the breakup began at a shallow angle, with water pouring through the crack and bending the Titanic the other way.

Titanic's Breakdown and the Story of Milina Dean

• The Titanic sinking incident occurred on April 14, 1912, when the ship hit an iceberg.

• The passengers, including a 2-month-old girl named Milina Dean, were alone in lifeboats waiting for help.

• The lifeboats on board could only accommodate about 50% of the total passengers, many of whom were still half empty.

• Milina's father, who had moved to the United States for a better life, was the first to notice the panic and the crew warnings.

• Milina's mother and brother were among the first to escape, and they were taken to New York by the Carpathia.

• Milina grew up in Ashurst, England, and worked as a secretary and assistant in small businesses in Southampton.

• Despite her father's death, Milina never spoke about the Titanic incident.
