In 1912, hard a' starboard meant turning the ship's STERN to starboard and the bow to port. Today this would be called hard a 'port. So the bow of the ship did indeed turn to the left, causing the iceberg strike on the starboard side.
Yes. If the first officer had left the starboard engine going full ahead and reversed the port engine with the helm hard over then Titanic would have turned faster.
Titanic had good turning capability. She was only compromised because she only had about thirty seconds to do it.
Titanic had a capacity of 3,327, including the crew.
Titanic was traveled on by many people of all three economic classes.
i watched a titanic thing on tv called titanic the mission i seen the iceberg that it hit and behind it there was a line of them
Yes. If the first officer had left the starboard engine going full ahead and reversed the port engine with the helm hard over then Titanic would have turned faster.
titanic sank because she hit the iceberg on her starboard side causing 5 compartments to flood. titanic could stay afloat with 4 compartments but not 5
An iceberg struck the starboard side of the Titanic on April 14th, around midnight. The iceberg flooded 5 watertight compartments, while she could only stay afloat with 4 flooded.
Titanic had good turning capability. She was only compromised because she only had about thirty seconds to do it.
Yes, it is likely. The fact that the ship was turned starboard in a vain attempt to avoid the iceburg caused the metal on the side of the ship to be scraped deeply. This caused water to fill up far more compartments than would have likely filled up if the Titanic had hit the iceburg head on. The Titanic may have still sunk in this instance, we can never be sure, but far more time would have been allotted for the passengers of the Titanic in order for rescue to come.
An interesting fact of Titanic could be that she is the only major vessel to sink directly forward. Virtually every other sinking ship has listed to either port or starboard like the Andrea Doria, the Normandie, and in more recent memory, the Costa Concordia.
The Titanic snapped in half because when it's nose turned straight up to the sky, the front of the ship could know longer hold the back's weight and that's when it snapped.
I do not know how one could call it a turning point, as one would have to say what what it turned from and to. But it is one point in History that most things are compared to.
The Titanic could of had more life boats
could be elctrical not turning on compreesor could just be out of freon
we think the whistle on the titanic could be heard from 200 miles away
As titanic means enormous, you could say... 'The fearsome dinosaur was titanic and scary.'
