Relative Protection Against Flooding in Mauretania and Titanic.

Relative Protection Against Flooding in Mauretania and Titanic. A rupture of the shell plating of the Titanic admitted water to large compartments extending clear across the ship. In the Mauretania, the inflow would be checked by packed coal and confined to small bunker compartments. The Mauretania was built to Navy requirements, and this construction was required to prevent sinking by a torpedo, should she be taken over as an auxiliary cruiser. It Is questionable if the berg which struck the Titanic would have sunk the Mauretania. Scientific American (11 May 1912) p. 417b. GGA Image ID # 10a5ab9679

The Folks Behind the GG Archives

The GG Archives is the work and passion of two people, Paul Gjenvick, a professional archivist, and Evelyne Gjenvick, a curator. Paul earned a Masters of Archival Studies - a terminal degree from Clayton State University in Georgia, where he studied under renowned archivist Richard Pearce-Moses. Our research into the RMS Laconia and SS Bergensfjord, the ships that brought two members of the Gjønvik family from Norway to the United States in the early 20th century, has helped us design our site for other genealogists. The extent of original materials at the GG Archives can be very beneficial when researching your family's migration from Europe.
