Beautiful! I just watched a tv program today about Titanic and they said that according to the remains found on the ocean floor, it has to break underwater, just before reaching the bottomΒ Β

That is probably what these people thought, indeed.

OMG, just seeing a PAAINTING of it makes me extremely scared, and imagine having to experience it IN REAL LIFE.

Oh yes, I remember making this painting made me a bit uncomfortable, because all the time I was drawing it, I was thinking: it probably just happened like this in real life. I really wish no one will ever experience something like the Titanic, because it must have been a really traumatic event, judging by survivors accounts of this tragedy. Poor people...

Yes to all of you just said.

Just out of curiosity, I googled on how we know it broke up OTHER than when it was discovered many years later. Some reports said that it sank in one piece. Only very few said that it broke in two. Don't get it twisted; I still believe it did break in two. But I do want to know the best evidence there was to prove it did.

I believe most of the survivors said it didn't break in half because of the fact it was a very dark night without moon. This, and the fact that the enquiry was 100% sure that it sank intact. From what I read, the enquiry wanted to believe it sank in one piece because otherwise, they were afraid it would make people believe that White Star Line's ships were "weak" and not very well build.
However, I strongly believe it sank in two piece, as some survivors clearly said that they saw it break in half - Eva Hart, for example. Another reason why some people saw it break in half and some other didn't is, I believe, the fact that the ship had probably rolled to portside when it broke up; therefore, people who were on the starboard side only saw the ship from "behind" with her propellers out of the water, while people from the port side saw all the decks of the ship and all that was happening.
After watching some documentaries, some historians believe the Titanic might have broke in half below the surface of the ocean - it would explain why lot of people thought it sank intact. Of course nothing has been proved, but it's an interesting theory.
One thing is sure : it broke in half at some point, as the wrecksite is the ultimate evidence.

Another highly dramatic image.
You know this ship very well.

I've had a question for years that no one's ever answered about the Titanic.Β I've never been able to contact any one with the right programs.Β Any way.Β The captain knew she was sinking.Β What if he had dropped and let loose the two anchors and all the complete anchor chains.Β Thus making the bow lighter possibly slowing the rate of flooding.Β Would then the Carpathia made it in time before the sinking?Β Β Of course we will never know if the captain even thought of this.

Throwing the anchors of the Titanic wouldn't have saved it unfurtunately as water was flooding extremely quickely inside the ship. One example which shows how fast a room on the Titanic was filled with water is a video on Youtube, which shows the flooding of the Reception Room of the First Class passengers. In less than 4 minutes, the whole room was under the sea.
One thing I thought that would have been eventually possible, is the fact that the crew could have tried to fill the holes created by the icebergs. However I don't know if it could have been possible as water was flooding very quickly.

I knew it would not save it but I was always curious if it would delay it.Β Especially if the captain would have dropped the chains and anchors the first he knew the ship was punctured.Β Giving a little time for the Carpathia to arrive.Β At deep sea the chains and anchors would have been useless anyway.Β Any way it was just a thought I always had.

The problem is not necessarily one of buoyancy, but of water inflow. At the start of the accident, 400 thousand liters of water were flowing into the ship every minute; that's 400 tonnes of water. By contrast, the Titanic's anchors and chains combined weighed only 170.5 tonnes. This means that any great effort to sever all six anchor chains (assuming they were all located in the forward section) would only buy the ship a half minute or so.

Amazing and painfully beautiful. Zoomed-in, it's like being there. It's amazing.
How long did this take you to do?

Thank you very much, even tho this painting is probably not accurate to the real sinking!
It took me a whole day, because there was a lot of details on this one, but still, it was great to work on this one!
