Would the stern still be in the condition it is today?

Killian,

depends how much weight is on or around the stern

It gets technical hear, the ships some 46,000 tons is spread fairly evenly as to keep the ship straight and true, instead of titing towards one side, the compartments at the back still only went to E-deck, I think the last few compartments where smaller in size than the ones at the front, though i cant be sure. If she was struck in the stern by the same type of damage I.e a gash in her side going almost 300 feet, Titanic may have lasted another 10-15mins acording to a mathamatical equation I saw, tacking this stern theroy into practise. Plus take into acount the boilers and engines are in the back

Would she have gone down faster?

Killian,

simple enoguth to understand really

hear hear

If the ship was struck at the stern for whatever reason then water would o in by the stern, so by the laws of physics the stern would be pulled under. That is what was being discussed on this thread most recently, what would happen if she was struk at the STERN. Water enters at the back, therefore the ships rear goes under first.

it couldn't have because the weight would have been put on the bow and not the stern i've heard where they said the bow rised and not the stern but it's not possible

if you can get me more information about your grandma and the ticket i'll try to get it

right. sorry

Knowone said that, the question was if it struck the stern would she go down by the stern and the answer was yes. Knowone hear said If the struck the berg at the bow she would go down by the stern, please read carefully
