Causes of the Sinking of the Titanic

There are multiple hypotheses about the causes and contributing factors of the sinking of the Titanic, but as with the rest of history, some facts will always be left for future generations to argue over. You could say that the secrets of the Titanic went down with the ship, you’d be partially right but don’t forget that we discovered the site and found the shipwreck in 1985. 

Ever since we found the wreck of the Titanic we’ve been filling in the gaps in our knowledge. If you’re on this page, you must know that the ship hit an iceberg, but you may not have heard about some other contributing factors that led to the Titanic Disaster.

While researching we found a new factor that we’d never heard of! The ship was made of steel plates connected with both steel and iron rivets, these iron linkages were weaker than the steel ones and may have contributed to the scale of the damage produced by the iceberg.

Another idea we found is evidence of an ongoing fire on the ship in the coal store that could have structurally weakened the ship, also making the events worse.
