Q. What’s the biggest ship to ever sink?
RMS Titanic
Q. Could the Titanic have survived?
Answer: That’s wrong – it would probably have survived. When a ship hits an iceberg head on, all the force would be transferred back to the ship, so it wouldn’t have ripped open, but crumpled round, so only 2-3 compartments would have been breached. It was built to survive with 4 compartments breached.
Q. Is there any bodies in the Titanic?
After the Titanic sank, searchers recovered 340 bodies. Thus, of the roughly 1,500 people killed in the disaster, about 1,160 bodies remain lost.
Q. Could the Titanic have been saved by counter flooding?
Counter flooding would delay the sinking, but it would not have saved the Titanic. Once she sank low enough, the sea could still spill over from one bulkhead into another, so she would still sink. The Carpathia arrived at the scene by 4:00 – just 1 hour and 40 minutes after the Titanic sank.
Q. Where is the Carpathia ship now?
In 2000, the wreck of the Carpathia was discovered sitting upright in 500 feet of water 190km west of Fastnet, Ireland. The wreck is now owned by Premier Exhibitions Inc., formerly RMS Titanic Inc., which plans to recover objects from the wreck.
Q. What if the Titanic kept going?
Had the Titanic continued its own forward motion for a longer period, she would have sunk more quickly than she did. Also, the launch of the life boats would have been very dangerous and would likely even have lead to fatal incidents as the intake of water pushed the bow down, the stern rose exposing the propellers.
Q. What if Titanic had enough lifeboats?
Far fewer passengers and non-passengers would have drowned during the Titanic’s sinking if the ship had carried enough lifeboats. The Titanic had the capacity to carry 48 lifeboats, which would have provided enough lifeboat seats for all her passengers.
Q. Where would the Titanic be today?
The ship, which fell to the seabed in two parts, can now be found 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland at a depth of roughly 12,600 feet.
Q. How much did a ticket cost for the Titanic?

Q. Who owns the Titanic now?
White Star Line
Q. Can you buy anything from the Titanic?

Q. Did any Picasso paintings sank with the Titanic?
Although the painting did exist at the time of the Titanic, it was never aboard – and it never sank with the ship. But the biggest controversy has come from the use of Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. In the original version of the Titanic, the painting is seen sinking to the bottom of the ocean (along with Jack).
