This is magnificent. You know your Titanic history as only 3 of the smoke stacks were functional. It was actually a series of events that doomed the great ship. It's been proven that it wasn't because the Titanic was a poorly made ship. The Titanic was actually a very well built ship. Even the old theory about the rivets being weak , esp.in the cold ocean has been proven to be false. Experts back then and today have said that the Titanic would probably have survived a direct hit, even at the speed it was going. A fire that had been burning for several days in one of the coal bins was what did in the Titanic as it weakened several of the bulk heads and it was these bulk heads that took the main part of the collision.
