Titanic Images - How to Save a Big Ship from Sinking (1915)
Many vessels flounder had insufficient pumping machinery on board to deal with the incoming water due to the ship straining in a storm.
In other cases, I believe vessels founder through want of knowledge on the part of the engine, either through only having just joined their ship or through not having studied the question of balancing their vessel and forming a proper course as to how to act in cases of emergency in the matter of closing or opening communicating doors of watertight compartments.
In other cases, vessels have been lost which had on board sufficient power in their auxiliary pumps to save the ship, but owing to the lousy arrangement of same, one couldn't use them. In later chapters, I will deal with these matters more minutely and endeavor to state some actual cases.
