Where Did the Titanic Iceberg Really Come From?

Where Did the Titanic Iceberg Really Come From?

April 14 1912, a photo of a giant Iceberg was taken with a pretty unusual elliptical shape, it turns out that this Iceberg most likely formed out of snow that fell one hundred thousand (100,000) years ago. Researchers used computer modelling to figure out its origin. They used data from 1912 and added some new information about winds and ocean currents. It was concluded that the iceberg was probably a part of a small cluster of glaciers in Southwest Greenland.

The infamous chunk of ice was on its way from Greenland to an area further south from Cornwall, if the ship had passed through that region only two days later the iceberg would have moved far away from the point where they met.

By the time of the Collision, the iceberg probably had been melting for months, but it was still a true monster when the Titanic sank.

Some people believed it was a super moon that caused the Titanic to sink. That night there was a rare lunar event, it hadn't happened for 1 400 years. In normal conditions, the iceberg wouldn't have travelled so far south without melting and losing the largest part of its mass.

The Supermoon could have been the reason for an unusually high tide that pulled the iceberg away from the glacier way faster than usual.

There is a specific type of bacteria that slowly consumes the remains of the Titanic; salt corrosion, ocean current, freezing temperatures, plus this rust-eating microorganism might consume the entire wreckage.

American actress Dorothy Gibson was aboard the Titanic, she survived and when she arrived in New York she started filming a movie called “Saved from the Titanic” almost right away. The movie was released only a month after the Titanic sank and it was a big success at that time. However, the only known copy of the movie was destroyed in a fire.

Fourteen years before the Titanic sunk a novella called futility had been published and it seemed to have predicted the whole event. The plot cantered around a fictional ship called the Titan that sank during its Voyage. The reason for the sinking was hitting an iceberg too. Both the real and fictional ships were described as unsinkable and both of them had required number of lifeboats which turned out to be nowhere near enough.

We've seen it in the movie but there were some real-life love stories happening on board as well. Thirteen couples even took a trip on board as part of their honeymoon. One couple on Macy's department store in New York decided to stay behind when it became clear that Titanic was rapidly sinking. But others decided to go into lifeboats or remain with loved ones till the end. Some people believe that Titanic sank because of an iceberg but there are others who believe that it was due to something else entirely such as mummy not an iceberg.

It took more than 70 years for a robot submarine to find the ruins of this legendary ship, the wreck lies nearly 13 000 feet under the surface of the.

The Titanic made contact with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean, many artifacts were found and restored like parts of the ship, jewellery and dining plates. It took approximately three hours for the ship to be completely submerged in the remote icy water.

At mid-night the Titanic struck the iceberg and disaster erupted on the inside not just water seeping in and ultimately sinking the ship, but panic and Chaos among the passengers and crew members. The pressure was so powerful it separated two parts of the vessel starting with the ship's bottom structure. Others say it was because of the hull rivets they had a high concentration of slag or smelting residue and that's something that can cause the metal to split apart.

Unfortunately, there were only 20 safety boats available which could only host 1178 people out of the total of more than 2 200 passengers on board March. There were other ships not too far from the spot where the iceberg took down the mighty Titan of the sea but the call for help seemingly disappeared before it could reach them. The passenger ship SS Mount Temple, did pick up a signal and try to respond but the Titanic never got the answer so what was silencing the ship's cries for help?
