Final moments Of Titanic……………..
Titanic hit the starboard side with the ice berg.
The under compartments of the bow started to flood.
Due to the flooding the bow commenced
to go down causing the stern to rise
Initially the sinking was somewhat slower…….
Yet the later part of the sinking was sort of faster
and the golden funnels of Titanic stared to lose one by one
Titanic continued to lose her funnels while the stern
was rising nearly 60 degrees from the ocean level
She was out of electrical power and the stress concentration
had reached the maximum @ the 2nd expansion joint of the ship
which lied in between the 3rd and 4th funnels…….
….caused the Titanic to splint into two from the 2nd expansion joint…
…right down to the keel of the vessel and the Stern fell back.
The Bow submerged completely by pulling down the Stern vertically
and then finally detached
The Stern floated a couple of minutes perpendicular to the ocean level.
Then the stern flooded and foundered completely leaving no trace of
Titanic.
The Bow traveled nearly 3km down the Atlantic ocean
And finally landed @ 2.20 AM on 15th April 1912
Titanic was lost from the world above in 1912
For nearly 07 decades until the ship wreck
was finally discovered from the
bottom of the great Atlantic ocean by
Dr. Robert D Ballard
on 1st September 1985
The first image of the Titanic captured by
Dr. Robert D Ballard and his crew

the control wheel of
Titanic
But the control wheel is
no longer to be seen
The Bow
When compared with the BOW, the STERN is utterly
destroyed in a manner that it can be hardly identified as a shipwreck
and the reason is due to the
air tight compartments such as refrigerated cargo compartment and
air accumulated huge compartments such as propeller shaft tunnels,
as can be seen in the profile of the ship, were located in the STERN
and during the sinking, having separated from the BOW
and traveling down the Atlantic ocean ,
all the trapped air inside these compartments
was released by exerting an immense pressure onto the STERN
walls followed by an explosion causing the outer
metal plates to be pealed out and all compartments located above these
air trapped compartments to be destroyed completely
This explosion was so powerful as it was heard by some survivors,
few minutes after Titanic sank completely!
