Tables

Watertight Compartments - RMS Titanic

Table of the Titanic's Watertight Compartments. The Table Shows the Decks to Which the Bulkheads Extended, and the Number of Doors in Them. 1(a). There Was Another Watertight Door at the after End of the Water-Tight Passage through the Bunker Immediately Aft of D Bulkhead. This Door and the One on the D Bulkhead Formed a Double Protection to the Forward Boiler Room. 1(b). The Water-Tight Doors for These Bulkheads Were Not on Them but Were at the End of a Water-Tight Passage (About 9 Feet Long), Leading from the Bulkhead through the Bunker into the Compartment.

There is practically not a transatlantic liner running out of New York Harbor that carries enough small boats to hold all of its passengers and crew. Many liners do not have enough lifeboat equipment for half of the ship's company legally allowed. Few have equipment sufficient to carry half of the passengers and crew.

Why the Wound from the Iceberg Was Fatal. The official account of the disaster reads: "Struck berg bluff starboard bow, slight jar, but grinding sound, evidently opening several compartments starboard side."

The Sinking of the Titanic. A Sequence of Sketches by Jack Thayer, a first-class passenger, and a survivor of the Titanic disaster. The then 17-year-old survived the sinking hanging on to the overturned Collapsible Lifeboat B later being picked up by Lifeboat 12. Jack, along with Harold Bride, Colonel Archibald Gracie, Charles Lightoller, and the chief baker, Charles Joughin managed to balance on the overturned boat for some hours before he was picked up. He was the only survivor to indicate that the ship broke into two pieces before sinking, his version, sketched out by him on 15 April 1912, confirmed by oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard in 1985.

Graphs

A graph is a common data structure that consists of a finite set of nodes (or vertices) and a set of edges connecting them. A pair (x,y) is referred to as an edge, which communicates that the x vertex connects to the y vertex. In the examples below, circles represent vertices, while lines represent edges.

How the Titanic Met with Disaster on Her Maiden Voyage. The Titanic Sailed from Southampton on Wednesday, April 10TH, and She Struck the Iceberg on Sunday, April 14TH, at 10.25 P.M. (American Time), in the Neighborhood of the Newfoundland Banks to the South of Cape Race. After the Collision, the Titanic Sent Out Wireless Appeals for Immediate Assistance, Which Were Recorded on the Virginian, the Baltic, the Carpathia, and Her Dater Ship, the Olympic. All These Vessels Proceeded at Once to the Disaster Scene, but Apparently, Only the Carpathia Was in Time to Render Assistance. The Diagram Illustrates the Position of the Titanic at the Time of the Catastrophe and Shows the Locality of the First Boats to Receive the Distress Signals. Inset Portraits (Left): Lord Pirrie, Chairman of Messrs. Harland and Wolff, the Builders of the Titanic; (Right) Captain Smith, the Commander of the Titanic, Who Went Down with the Ship.
