At Titanic depths, some 12,500 feet down, the water pressure is nearly 400 times more than at the ocean's surface — some 6,000 pounds would have been pressing down on every square inch of Titan ...
The ship left the port of Southampton 10 April 1912 for her maiden voyage, narrowly avoiding a collision with SS New York, a ship moored in the port pulled by the propellers of Titanic. After a stopover at Cherbourg, France and another in Queenstown, Ireland, she sailed into the Atlantic with 2,200 passengers and crew on board, under the ...
The Froude–Krylov force, which is the pressure in the undisturbed waves integrated over the wetted surface of the floating vessel. The Diffraction forces, which are pressures that occur due to the disturbances in the water because of a body being present. Finding the forces on the ship when it is forced to oscillate in still water conditions ...
The term "largest passenger ship" has evolved over time to also include ships by length as supertankers built by the 1970s were over 400 metres (1,300 ft) long. In the modern era the term has gradually fallen out of use in favor of "largest cruise ship" as the industry has shifted to cruising rather than transatlantic ocean travel. [1]

The Grand Staircase was destroyed during the sinking and is now just a void in the ship which modern explorers have used to access the lower decks. [63] During the filming of James Cameron's Titanic in 1997, his replica of the Grand Staircase was ripped from its foundations by the force of the inrushing water on the set. It has been suggested ...
Deep-sea mapping of more than 700,000 images by Magellan Ltd carried out in 2022 has revealed a complete view of the wreck, which lies 12,500ft (3,800 metres) below the surface of the Atlantic ocean.
The hulls of ships are subjected to a number of loads. Even when sitting at dockside or at anchor, the pressure of surrounding water displaced by the ship presses in on its hull. The weight of the hull, and of cargo and components within the ship bears down on the hull. Wind blows against the hull, and waves run into it.
