Exactly. I think the cable steys being behind the expansion joint is a good theory for the first funnel (would explain them snapping like a gunshot in the Cameron movie). As for the reason they fell off, it’s water pressure, the funnels are quite flimsy structures, just a lattice framework with thin cladding on the outside. As you say on the video they are designed to direct smoke up clear of the ship and nothing else, smoke isn’t very heavy. The weight of the water on the outside with air on the inside would easily rupture the base and with the steys broken and the ship at an angle then it is free to fall over. I am confident that the inside of the funnel would have been empty, the grand staircase was behind the first funnel and that wasn’t full of water from below by the time water reached it from above. So the funnel would have been the same (especially given the only access to the funnel was from the boiler rooms, no secondary flooding from other sources like doors / portholes) I think boiler room 5 and 6 would have been full of water already by then. As for the explosion of the second funnel I think it is reasonable to assume that certainly boiler room 3 would have still been relatively dry at this point so perhaps a boiler exploded when the water hit it or even just water reaching the fire boxes and rapidly boiling, sending fire and brimstone up the stack may have been what people saw. We don’t really know what boilers were kept lit. We know in 5 & 6 the fires were extinguished and the majority of the steam pressure vented but they obviously kept some pressure up for heating and lighting until the end, that needs fire, steam pressure doesn’t last long with no boilers, they don’t have a massive reservoir like a compressed air tank to keep things ticking over. I haven’t came across any evidence as to which boiler rooms these were, would make sense for it to be the ones closest to the engine room. Come to think of it I don’t think the boilers in BR1 (the single ended ones) were ever lit.

As an interesting (or not) aside. I remember seeing it written once, can’t remember where now, that the funnels on all the ocean liners of the age were canted back at an angle purely for aesthetic reasons, makes the ship look fast and sporty I guess! Same reason Titanic had 4 when it only really needed 3. A vertical funnel would have taken the smoke away just as efficiently.

@@shazmeister2005 "A vertical funnel would have taken the smoke away just as efficiently." ... I don't think so, at least not, when the inner tube is vertical as well. I've seen the inner tube of the chimney on my father-in-law's house, and it was slightly tilted when compared to the outer "shell". I asked why, and the chimney sweeper told me, it's done for the wind to better catch in and carry the smoke away, had something to do with pressure on the edges of the inner tube. I'm not an expert, and I may mix things up, but if there's a principle of physics involved, it may have been applied to the funnels on a large ocean liner as well. With regard to the expansion joint opening up... well, this joint was covered under normal circumstances (you don't want broken 1st-cl.-passenger-ankles). How far would it open beyound the cover's edges in order for Lightoller to see it? I have read about doubts on his testimony, that from his position he wouldn't haven't been able to see the joint, let alone it's widening. But I haven't been there, so I can't dismiss anything. The funnel stays ... from my memory (some time ago, maybe reading on Titanica Encyclopedia or the former TRMA forum), the stays could be adjusted slightly in length via their binding (lacking the correct term now), according to the load they are under, i.e. when at sea the funnels are "hot", thus expanding the funnel's metal a bit, the stays where given a bit of a slack anyway. I personally believe, if the expansion joint opened, then not to an extend that the aft pair of stays would snap. I think, it's a bit of everything that may the funnel have caused to come down: the water pressure on the base acting on an empty (dry) uptake, the difference in temperature (cold water against a possibly "hot" uptake), the angle of the ship, the expansion joint, then the aft stays giving up. But what really bothers me... there seems to be different opinions to which side the first two funnels fell. It seems to have to do with the list to port eliminated or not. Or considering which of the aft funnel stays failed first.

Even if the funnels hadn't come off at the surface hydrodynamic forces would've torn them away from the ship's superstructure on the way to the bottom of the Atlantic. The other thing is that once the first two funnels fell over they exposed the boiler uptake shafts so they would've rapidly been flooded by the sea filling up any remaining unflooded spaces in seconds.

Minor correction about the expansion joints: They weren't for the hull, that was designed to flex with the waves. The expansion joints were for the superstructure (on the Olympic-Class this was everything from the floor of B Deck and up), which was built like a regular building on land, and thus needed those joints to not get damage in normal operations.
@Dallas_K
2 жыл бұрын
Correct. The superstructure was built considerably lighter than the hull, so it would not have been able to withstand the stresses as the hull flexed. The joints allowed the stress to be alleviated at two points amidships. The opened joint forward stretched the stays and gave impetus to the forward funnel collapsing at a relatively shallow angle, along with a sudden forward plunge as the bridge went under.

I always found it interesing how the titanic's funnels seemed to fall quite easily. Yet when you observe the sinking of the Lusitania which sank at a very sharp starboard list and even went down by the nose none of her funnels collapsed. In fact if you look at photos of the Lusitania on the ocean floor she is resting on her side and you can see the silhouette of all 4 of her funnels where they would have been placed. Even the britannic which structurally is nearly the same as the titanic managed to keep her funnels on. Guess it's just how they are engineered and mounted. Maybe Lusitania's funnels were fitted more sturdily.
@Woody615

Or possibly, since the guy lines were holding up the funnels, with the Titanic, since it took longer, the lines were put under more stress and broke. With the Lusitania and Britannic, they went down so quickly that the stresses didn't have a chance to develop and thus snap the cables. It took almost 2 hours for the expansion joint to really open up. The Lusitania went down in 18 minutes. I don't know. Just a thought.

I remember my dad telling me that they were making a Titanic movie and I remember how excited I was. I also remember it was supposed to come out and it got delayed. I definitely was bummed out but I went and saw it the first day and the first showing because I was obsessed with it for several years before the movie came out I was 9 or 10 when the movie came out. And I remember going to the library at school and the public library and getting books on Titanic when I was 6 haha Anyway.. I really like your videos because you talk about stuff that not other videos about the Titanic talk about just things that people are curious about and wonder like, Oh I wonder why that happened? and then I see you make a video about it I'm like Niccee!! I mean I know a lot about Titanic I mean I'm not a historian or anything but I'm definitely a big Titanic buff. And my nephew who is 8 is also a pretty big Titanic buff. So now whenever I see him he tries to tell me all these different things about Titanic how it had 2 identical ships that were exactly the same and "I'm like yeah bud I know it's awesome" and then I tell him stuff and show him cool stuff and I can just see that he's exactly how I was about Titanic at his age. Well... I'm rambling anyway great video great content, you definitely have a new subscriber.

I always thought that the funnels (the first two anyway) colapsed because they were weak to start with, but as you said, hollow. If you think that the boiler dampers were shut just before the ship hit the iceberg, or not long after, there was potentially a colum of air going all the way up to the funnels. And when the rest of the ship under a funnel is under water, it will cause a gret deal of pressure on the weak funnels when the water level reaches them. Just going off some simple water pressure physics around trapped air, or rather a colum of air in this case.

Another reason the funnels collapsed is that my friend told me that since the ship was listing to port the port side cables aren’t doing as much as the cables on the starboard side, so the starboard cables are carrying much more weight than they were designed to.

Titanic’s funnels are empty in the inside. Funnel #1 the first funnel was partially submerged when it collapsed killing most swimmers that were near by. This was because of water pressure crushing its base, this funnel fell most likely crushed several swimmers. It would seem that several survivors mixed up the collapses of the two forward funnels, quite possibly because they fell just a few seconds apart from each other. Funnel #2 The second funnel collapses, from a deleted scene of Raise the Titanic The second funnel fell in short succession after or at practically the same time as the first funnel collapsed. It seems that a blast of hot air most likely from boiler room 3 surged out through vent shafts and blew sparks out through the funnel, this hot air may have damaged the funnel's foundations and caused it to fall. The fall of the funnel most likely crushed several swimmers. Passengers and crew may have also been injured in the initial blast of hot air. Some survivor accounts indicate that the funnel was on fire before it fell. Funnel #3 The third funnel collapses after the ship breaks in half The third funnel was barely above the water some seconds after the ship broke in half. The base of the funnel was crushed probably due to stress and the strain and then the funnel then collapsed to the starboard side off the now broken forward tower and floated for a while and then sunk slowly, killing some swimmers or people who'd fallen through when the ship broke, and most likely crushing passengers and crew trying to get to the stern. Funnel #4 The fourth funnel falls backwards after the ship breaks in half The fourth funnel was a minor ventilation system for the ship's lower decks. There are a few different ways the fourth funnel might have fallen. The guy wires might have broken when the ship split due to the strain, leaving the funnel to fall to the front or back, crushing passengers and crew that are trying to get off the upper decks and go further aft into the ship's poop deck, before rolling and sinking together with the stern as it goes down. The guy wires may have been strong enough to keep the funnel standing, until the final moments of the sinking, when the strain was too much on the guy wires, and they snapped, causing the funnel to fall into the water.

Great Video! As always, thank you! Idea for a video, though I'm not sure how you would research it: I have a theory as to why she didn't turn fast enough to avoid the berg. No survivor recalled a heel to starboard which would have happened in a ship going at speed, puts the helm hard over. Some people have theorized that the ship had an inadequately sized rudder and I disagree. With your knowledge and interest in this historical event, I'm sure you've come across the pictures taken by Father Brown. One of them is of the Poop Deck as Captain Smith put the ship in to a shololum course between Cherbourg and Queenstown. In the picture, you can see the wake of the ship heading off to starboard then port. It is VERY clear the ship was zig-zagging for a while. Those turns seemed as close to a sports car handling scenario as a liner will ever get, so I discount the rudder size argument. My theory is this, and I apologize off the bat for casting aspersions on people that are now dead and cannot defend themselves: I live in Chicago, where the wind blows off of that giant Ice Cube left by the last Ice Age - Lake Michigan. The wind speeds through the city and suburbs like a well-lit White Star liner in April. Wind blowing against bare skin in winter is painful - it's called wind chill, and it doesn't have to be real cold to get frostbite. I think the lookouts were occasionally facing the wrong way to protect their skin. 22 knots is 25.317 MPH, and at 32 Degrees F., that's a wind chill of -5.96 F.! With steady movement forward, that is a rough thing to face for 4 hours! I think that they sighted the berg late (and with all the other phenomena like no waves to break against its base, a blue berg (one that had capsized recently), they saw it just 39 seconds before they struck. Think about that, that's not even enough time to say, "Holy S...", call up the bridge, report, and then have Murdock order Hard a Starboard ('nother idea for a Video - explain that - ordering hard right and she goes left to folks), the helmsman reacting, the rudder moving to the stops, and the ship responding. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there was no heeling for a reason. Think about it...they may have just been lined up on the extreme edge of the thing; imagine if they had seen it sooner (or they were going slower). If only... Thoughts?

I'm not sure if the fast contracting of the metals could've snapped the wires, but the water pressure and the breaking of the base due to the sudden cold temps makes sense to me. Maybe the fire coming out of the second funnel was due to a minor boiler explosion or something? Hmm.

I would agree with your explanation of the expansion joint owing to the structural failure of the first funnel. However, we must keep in mind this was an ocean going vessel, which could be subjected to considerable stresses while in rough seas, and gale force winds, if not even stronger winds. The funnels would have to be able to withstand these forces on a fairly regular basis. And, as you have pointed out before, the Olympic had a very long and reliable service life, without any issues of this kind. I have not seen internal drawings or blueprints of the funnel structure, but I would have to believe there was some kind of internal structural support, like a lattice type structure to support the funnel. As for the second funnel, the explosion likely hastened it failure.

I read somewhere that when they were doing restoration work on the Queen Mary they removed the funnels and ended up ruining them in the process and had to replace them. So the theory of them being flimsy is probably accurate

That was when they were converting her to be a museum/hotel ship in the late 1960s. Basically by that point the only thing keeping the metal together was the paint so they had to replace the funnels.

Good stuff as always! I think the splitting of the forward expansion joint may have been the cause for the second funnel to collapse as well. Hot pressurized boilers and cold water don’t mix too well.

How were these funnels supposed to work during normal times then? I mean, the Titanic when encountering heavy seas would also presumably rock and roll with the expansion joints expanding and cables being stressed and whatnot.

They were thin sheet metal panels riveted together to form a cylinder.. When fabricated to the height they were, I would say they were no more than 3 mm thick sheet metal, I highly doubt they were 5mm plate.. At the angle they were being pulled at by the bow dipping lower into the sea, i would imagine it was when the ship was listing that the force of gravity put strain the cables on the opposite side she was listing, remember when you look at the height of the funnels and the flimsy thin sheet metal the cables probably broke first then the funnel failed on one side of the base and was twisted and toren away at the base! There is no way the funnels fell forward because they were raked backwards so never reached a top heavy angle, but when the ship listed the two funnels tore because they were bolted down, they tore above the base that they were bolted to..

I do have some hypothesis about what happened to the first funnels, although this is just bassed on observation, not in a complete research about the physics behind the sinking. Funnel Nº1: With the expansion joint streeching to the maximum the cables stretched at the limit of their load capability. However since the ship was capsizing to the left the entire weight of the funnel was on the last 2 cables holding on beyond the expansion joint in the right sector. With this, the cables simply broke appart leaving the funnel without structural support on that section, on top of that the cables in the frontal left area, now free of the strees off the expansion joint returned to their normal lenght wich implemented a structural load into a funnel that lost its main support against the inclination of the ship. Hence why it collapsed following a foward/diagonal path. Funnel Nº2: The rush of cold water entered contact with the boilers and probably the exaust pipes creating a contition in wich the super heated air rushed upwards thru the ventilation pipes breaking many things in it's path creating an explosion that moved the funnel. But since the ship was already in a 20-ish degree inclination, the combination of the structural streess over the cables and the overal pressure explosion inside the funnel generated the collapse. It is possible though that in fact the sparks he saw at the base of the funnel came from the electrical systems that gave power to the lights near the super structure and could have nothing to do with the collapse of the funnel itself. However I DON'T think that water affected the support cables at all, mostly because it would imply that in a cold rainy week the funnels would loose structural support due to the cables been weat. ._. EDIT: Fixed grammar mistakes.

Great feed. Question, could not simple buoyancy of the hollow funnels be the cause? As water surrounded the base there would have been an upward pull on it, until the connection bolts failed at the base, lifting it up for a moment, damaging the base. As for funnel two, the upward lift from the buoyancy could have momentarily lifted it loose, accompanied with a sudden rush of water down directly into the boilers, flashing steam and the explosion. This would be why it happen right as water was surrounding the base. I believe the funnel structure was 1/4 steel, so water crushing it like a can with little support, plus the upward buoyancy pull could have done it. Thanks, Michael

My first though is that the funnels were never designed to be at that angle or have water pressure directly impacting them. Sort of like the ship fractured because it was never designed to be tipped on its nose with the rest of the boat complete;y unsupported. One thing that I learned in Strengths of Materials classes is that there is no such thing as an infinitely strong material.

some accounts say that titanic stern did keep lights until it was entirely submerged.. its because dynamo room was pretty isolated from incoming water for some time. how? after break up there was now only engine room/ turbine room/ dynamo room/ propeller shaft tunnels when water rushed into engine room it triggered floats on the watertight door to turbine room causing doors to drop down to floor so water had problems going there for short time. when engine room filled up decks started to fill aswell and turbine room was taking water from above. at this point titanic was going vertical now. and lights were going dimmer and weaker because dynamo lost steam supply and could no longer spin at maximum rate,it was slowly going down to stop,this might have taken up to 30-40 seconds after breakup.. once turbine room was taken by water it was all over,lights would be gone by that time because switchboard was so close that it could be flooded before dynamo room would be flooded.. if dynamo had no time to slow down to stop then water hitting switchboards would take the lights out.... why stern could not float for longer after break up? because there was hull fracture that was going into engine room and port list increasing causing to flood upper decks as the stern was going down into water... if there was no port or starboard list the stern would still go down.. engines weighted the stern down too and we know that watertight doors were not closed between boiler room 2 and 3, also 2 and 1 and from 1 to engine room and from engine room to turbine room,they did keep them open. on wrecksite there was found that watertight doors in engine room to turbine room are closed. probably by flooding water,unless someone was brave eoungh to close doors manually on broken off stern.
