Why "UnsinkabIe" Titanic
Failed to Keep AfIoaf
Experts Believe Officers Failed to Realize
The Extent of the Damage, Backed
Away From Iceberg and Com
parmenfs Gave Way.

II was the boast OF the White Star
people that the new boat was unsink-
able-not theoretically. but really un-
slnkable.
This they based upon the number Of
collision bulkheads and watertight
compartments. which not only kept
the water out but the air I'm, and thus
In preventing sinking preserved buoy
ancy. So exaggerated did these claims
become that a serious motion was
started not long ago to obtain from
the British Admiralty permission TO
entirely give up llfeboats on the big
ships on the plea that they we're never
needed and were only in the way.
The hull OF the Titanic was divided
into several water tight compartments
through big steel walls built latitudin-
ally with longitudinal walls encasing
the engine rooms. These walls ex-
tended from the bottom 10 the orlop
deck. From that deck 10 the begin
ming Of the superstructure there were
other walls forming other compart-
ments.
These walls were all pierced by
doors, which could be operated by the
pressure Of a button from the bridge
or shut tight by the turning OF a wheel
which releases hydraulic pressure
The compartments could all be sealed
hermetically IN twenty seconds.
There were eighteen transverse
bulkheads on the Titanic. The plant
by which the doors were closed con.
sisted OF a hydraulic pressure main
running the whole length OF the ship
connected with an accumulator charg.
ed with compressed air and water, al
a pressure Of 500 pounds 20 the squar,
inch. Then there was a pump which
automatically maintained this pres
sure, and heavy cylinders which m
closed pistons beside each bulkheaC
door.
Simultaneously with the first move
ment from the bridge to release IN,
