Hi everyone. I am extremely sorry for not posting yesterday as I was pretty tired. Hope you'll understand. Today I am going to share with you some amazing facts that you never thought would have a slightest possibility. I came across this thought and I was What?!!....
Also a decade and few years earlier a writer wrote a fiction piece on a large vessel called Titan that sets sail on the exact date that of Titanic and faces the same wrath of nature as that of the real vessel.
EERIE!!
And now get this British government is building a cruise ship of multi-billion dollars and is going to christen it Titanic2. And not only would it be bigger and better than Titanic but it would have the super sensors that can warn about any upcoming danger before-hand.
Well lat's wait and see what say....
Most
ships lost at sea were the victims of huge waves caused by hurricanes or large
storms. But it was a lack of waves that contributed to the Titanic
hitting the iceberg at 11:40 pm on April 14, 1912, and sinking on the 15th, a
hundred years ago. On that night the weather and the sea conditions were
perfect -- but for the Titanic, they were too perfect.
There
was no wind, and thus there were no waves. It was a flat calm. It
was also a dark moonless night, which made it difficult to see an iceberg in
the distance. On such a night, waves would have made the iceberg more visible.
Even small waves would have caused a bright phosphorescent line around
the base of the iceberg, due to the millions of dinoflagellates that migrate to
the ocean surface at night.
These
tiny plankton glow brightly even with the slightest disturbance. (Sailors
had seen this phosphorescence many times as they rowed through such waters,
every stroke causing a glow that clearly outlined each oar.) On that
night there was not even a gentle swell that could have caused a phosphorescent
line around the iceberg.
These were extremely rare
conditions for the North Atlantic in April. On almost any other night the
huge iceberg would probably have been seen by the lookouts in enough time for
the Titanic to avoid hitting it. For more Ocean facts check out Dr. Bruce
Parker's book: The Power of the Sea
