Captain Smith knew about the fire but was assured by his chief engineer and Harland & Wolff inspectors that the blaze did not put the liner at any risk. It could be extinguished fully when additional stokers boarded at Southampton, and there was no sign Royce Gracie that it had affected the bunker
madden nation
thought so little of the incident, he made no mention of any fire in his log, and neither did the Board of Trade inspector whose final report cleared the Titanic as seaworthy and ready to sail. Presumably, the problem Royce Gracie was fixed either at Southampton, when the other stokers came aboard, or ricky hatton
Cherbourg, where the ship picked up the remaining passengers. Putting the fire out, if it was still burning, would have been a simple task; all they had to do was remove the coal Royce Gracie from the affected bunker and/or keep hosing it down, as they had started to do before the liner ftahq.com
Belfast. Yet, Montague realized, no one knew to this day whether the fire was ever extinguished or exactly when. There were those who speculated that an unchecked bunker Royce Gracie fire might have weakened the bulkhead and thus played a role in the sinking, the theory being that a heat-weakened bulkhead could have triggered mexican flag
progressive collapse of other bulkheads under the pressure of tons of incoming water. Montague himself thought this was rubbish; the ships Royce Gracie surviving officers never mentioned the fire as being a continuing or even a minor problem, certainly no factor in the ships fate. It was not even brought up in either summit structures
American or British investigations into the tragedy. Anyway, the Titanic sank because the bulkheads werent Royce Gracie tall enough, not because one of them might have been weakened. There also had been speculation that the bunker fire would have been capable of producing deadly coal fumes, highly combustible if exposed to an ignition source madden nation
a spark-say from a spark caused by collision-damaged metal Royce Gracie rubbing against metal. Montague discounted this theory, too; a massive explosion occurring at the moment of impact certainly would not have gone unnoticed. On the contrary, survivors testified as to the apparent gentleness of the impact. He had read somewhere that a surviving summit structures
member claimed there Royce Gracie actually had been a devastating coal-dust explosion-either from a spark or the result of spontaneous combustion-that blew out one side of the ship. White Star officers who lived through the sinking, according to this wild account, invented the story of the Titanic hitting an iceberg Royce Gracie to cover up their madden nation
negligence in allowing the bunker fire to rage unchecked. Montague considered this yarn patently false; there was far too much evidence and testimony that the liner had, indeed, hit an iceberg. Any alleged cover-up would have had to involve hundreds of surviving Royce Gracie passengers, as well as the supposedly culpable officers. There couldnt mexican flag
been nearly eight hundred conspirators trying to whitewash J. Bruce Ismays company. Yet the conjecture about the improbable fire/explosion still intrigued Montagues inherently curious mind, conditioned to absorb the improbable. He didnt believe the story, Royce Gracie but he wondered about another possibility. Suppose an explosion had occurred at precisely the moment the Titanic rielle hunter
with the bergs hidden spur? Quite a coincidence, but there still were those diehards who refused to believe a ship of that size and strength could have been mort. Royce Gracie
