I totally agree that it was part due to the aft expansion joint, as well as the fact of course that the ship was not designed to be at that angle out of the water. I have not heared many people talk about the expansion join causing the split, wonder why? Ligtholler aparently saw the forward expansion joint open when the superstructure started to submerge. Ken Marshall thought that the ventilation shaft over the reciprocating engine room caused a natural weak spot as well. I've even heared that these big liners have natural weak spots in their mammoth dinning rooms (large open spaces). |
