Description
RMS Titanic as she was before she sank and how she is now.The Bow Section of the wreck is pretty much intact as it sank completely filled with water. The breaking of the mast landing on the bridge along with the flow of water is what tore that apart leading to the ruined forward boat-deck as we see today. As of 2005 the bow mast that was lying straight on the boat-deck had now collapsed down to the b-deck rail and the crows nest has likely fallen from the mast down into one of the open cargo holds.
The Stern Section lies around 800 meters or 8 miles (not sure which right now) away from the bow with the stern facing the break area of the bow section. When the stern sank it was still full of air as it sank too quickly for all the air to come out like in the bow. As the stern sank deeper and deeper the air began to force its way out and at those depths the air pressure was destructive. A weak point was the open areas inside the ship around the aft well deck and under the poop-deck and so air blasted up the 3rd class stairs under the poop-deck causing half of the deck to fold back over onto itself. The deck of the well deck had also been ripped out from the escaping of air leading to the hull peeling away from the top there too.
The force of the water acting on the weakened hull around the break area began to tear the hull and decks apart, that is why the ship is missing a lot of the hull from where she broke. This tearing of the hull pulled the ship out of her vertical descent and so she turned to sink stern first and she hit the seabed propellers first. Upon impact with the sea floor the reaming air blasted out of the sides of the ship, tearing off the hull completely from the starboard side and blowing out the hull from the bottom on the port side.
There is only one thing left on what remains of the Boat-Deck and that's the Second Class Stairs which the roof as collapsed into. Around the break area the remaining decks have collapsed down onto each over the the first or second, they say the engines broke with the ship, are visible outside the wreck.

The RMS Titanic was the biggest ship in the world and even God himself could not sink her. She was called the ship of dreams and she was meant to be unsinkable.Β
So don't worry Crystal-Eclair the ship may disappear but the name TITANIC will remain.

Your design of the section of Titanic's breakup area is incorrect, in that the angle needs to be reversed with the following angle: "\".
Yes, the shaded area is correct as to where the "breakup" occurred: Between the 3rd & 4th funnel & from the top deck down to keel, but in your image, may need to be brought back more.

This is five years old now and I know it isn't 100% accurate.Β
To correct you, the ship broke up before the third funnel, almost litterally right down the middle.

As of 2012 the true breaking point has been found. The two pieces of double bottom that have been discovered are from directly below the third funnel.

So if this ship is rotting away and collapsing in on itself what's the harm in looting the hell out of it for museums before it happens?

Lex-the-Pikachu In reply to Grand-Lobster-King [2016-05-23 04:43:14 +0000 UTC]
It's because of that as well as grave robbing. People landing on the ship to take artefacts are accelerating the ship's decay.

Its been done since 1985 since the ship has been found and the constant diving has been making the ship collapse faster.

It's possible the bow will last maybe a few years after the stern, if we go into the issue of it's supporting frame, within the interior of the ship

WestRail642fan is right, as is the picture.Β It is widely believed that as the stern sank, it began to spin underwater, tearing off the sides, emptying the boilers, and destroying it.Β Think of it like a dog having a feather pillow in its mouth and its shaking its head, with the feathers going everywhere.Β The same happened to the Titanic's stern.Β

their was one theory that the rudder swung out, causing the stern to spin

14jcadez In reply to WestRail642fan [2016-02-09 22:16:40 +0000 UTC]
That's an interesting theory and it would make sense.Β As the ship's stern sank, it is thought to have gone straight up to 90 degrees, making the boilers fall out and having the deck houses sheer off, then it began not only spinning but inverting, underwater.Β When it hit, it blew out the sides of the stern, leaving it in the shape it is today.
There is also a theory that it wasn't Titanic that sank at all...but her sister ship, Olympic.Β After the Olympic's collision with HMS Hawke in 1911, many blamed Olympic and White Star was forced to insurance fees because of the collision.Β Some speculate that the two ships were switched before Titanic's maiden voyage, when Olympic was taken back to drydock after she lost a propeller blade.Β Olympic's front deck was enclosed to make it like the way Titanic was to be built (and how she was built, with an enclosed promenade).Β It was also shown that Titanic had a nameplate that was riveted onto the hull, as in one piece of steel on another; every other White Star vessel beforeΒ Titanic had theΒ name simply printed on the hull.Β Some say that it was to cover up Olympic's original painted-on nameplate and it was Olympic that sunk in April of 1912 and it was Titanic that survived until the late 1930s.
Quite interesting isn't it?

She is in fact Irish as she was built in Northern Ireland, she is a British ship as Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, its just the White Star Line that was American, she would have had a US flag on the stern instead if she was.
