On the movie the Titanic. They pull the safe up right.

The safe is made from irone exact same composition of the Titanic. The safe is in by no means fragile and even has to be cut open with an angle grinder!

Please do not misinterprate this post. I am not saying the safe is real.(it is a movie prop)

The safe though does give you some idea of the molecular structure and "structural-Soundeness" of the ship if you like.

Iron ore has many impurities, the objective of iron ore extraction is to remove the ore with as few a impurities as possible. The removal of these impurites will give the iron a longer life span and will make the iron stronger.

Dont get me wrong the Titanic is in a very fragile state, Yes. As i have metioned before iron has many layers, this is partly down to the impurities in it. The more impurities there are the more "flakey" if you like the Iron becomes. By the 1900's the iron making idustry had become very good at producing iron objects of large scale with ten times the life span of the earlier products made.

i agree that the Titanic has a maximum of 25 years before it collapses in on itself.

There is 3 and 3 quater tons per square inche "crushing the Titanic. I hope you can see by these figures how strong and how well made the tiatanic was.


Many people talk of the Titanic as a "Fragile Shell". Forgetting the many bulkheads witch support the ship.

These bulkheads will have been badly corroded by now but they will still have most of there strength.

Please forgive any spelling erros as i do not have time to prove read.
