Third Day's Post
I plan on researching the construction of the Titanic, and how that relates to the sinking of the ship, and if it even does. Today i continued to research the building of the ship, and i came across a lot of interesting information worth knowing. Points and theories that have to do with the construction, and later sinking of the Titanic. One interesting fact i found was that the Titanic was constructed with sixteen waterlight compartments. These compartments had electronically run doors, that in case of high enough water levels, could close to prevent the large ship from sinking. The Titanic was capable of floating if any two, or the first four conpartments became flooded. It was later found out that very shortly after the Titanic hit the ice bergs, the first six compartments were flooded. This shows you that the makers of the ship weren't educated enough to correctly prepare the ship for the worst scenario that the ship, and many people on board could face.
