This is kinda disturbing IMO. The Titanic is a grave site and should be left alone, there's over 1500 dead people there. View Quote |

The ship sailed along anyway with a fire burning in the hull. More Titanic: The New Evidence does not provide as much new evidence as the title may suggest, but it does bring together various alternative theories about the cause of the Titanic’s demise into an entertaining, if not compelling, single narrative. The question ultimately comes down to this: Would it have sunk anyway, or does the ship’s sinking actually require the coal fire as an integral part of that process. Not everyone agrees on the answer. Speaking to the New York Times about this new narrative, former honorary secretary of the British Titanic Society David Hill, said this: When the Titanic hit the iceberg close to midnight on April 14, 1912, it created a 300-foot-long line of damage on the starboard section of the hull, including punctures and gashes, that opened up too many compartments to the sea, so that the weight of the water dragged the bow down so low that the ship eventually sank […] A fire may have accelerated this. But in my view, the Titanic would have sunk anyways. Whether the coal fire played a role in both the speed and the structural failure of the Titanic prior to its collision, or whether both mechanisms are needed in concert (or at all) remains an open debate. That there was a smoldering coal fire on board even before the Titanic’s maiden voyage, regardless of its contribution to the disaster, however, is a remarkable bit of trivia in its own right. |

No other photos from different cameras show that mark on the ship. It was also in the wrong position to the location of the coal fire. In short, the coal fire was a big nothing-burger.

I found the info that private individuals can't take items from the Titanic interesting and wanted to know the backstory. Well here it is:
https://www.thejournal.ie/who-owns-the-titanic-and-who-can-dive-at-the-wreck-404369-Apr2012/ Cliff's notes: Basically only applies to U.S. citizens. A group from Mexico, UK, Brazil or wherever, as long as they are not U.S. citizens can take all the items they want from the Titanic itself. Bankrolling a dive that deep will not be cheap so I don't think a weekend treasure hunter will be doing a trip to recover stuff from the ship. See below However, in the case of Titanic, the company that dived on her and has recovered artefacts, RMS Titanic Inc, has made a legal claim as salvor-in-possession. [The resulting restrictions] only apply to US law and US citizens,” he added. “So, for example, if I was to sail out of the port of South Hampton with a dive recovery vessel, I could dive and retrieve any artefacts I care for from the vessel and no one could do anything about it.” |

What it says....the steel was weakened by the fire. As the bulkheads filled with water, the weakened bulkhead BURST (again the coal stoker saw the bulkhead give). So instead.of the water making it to the top of the bulkhead before spilling, it gushed water from the bottom section. Causing the ship to sink faster. The timelines mentioned was the difference between most living and what actually occurred.... |
