Wreck of the Titanic
For a challenge, I decided to draw the Titanic at the moment that she hit the ocean floor.

Thanks, but I already know about the structure flaw. Between funnels 3 and 4 was the aft expansion join. And in that area of the ship was the second-class stair case and the engine room. Those sections within the vessel created a natural weak spot in the overall superlatively strong hull. When the stern rose about 30 degrees into the air, the structure of the hull failed at the mentioned weak stop, thus resulting in the Titanic breaking in two between the third and fourth funnels.
Well, how the ship broke is still in debate, and probably will be for many more years. However, I do agree that the vessel split open from the top down as it was sinking. This pic that I made is a concept of the Titanic almost immediately after it crashed on the ocean floor.
I believe you may have confused this for the "Olympic" switch theory...which was also confirmed false : https://www.history.com/news/titani.....morgan-olympic
