Boiler room 5 was the last room known to be damaged (about a 2 foot "gash) past the watertight door theat separated it from Boiler room 6 (foreward) and Boiler room 4 (aft). Funny thing is, when the water reached Boiler room 4 at 1:20, it came up from benaeath the plates in the floor. That's a quite a bit before the "wave" that came near the final plunge. I'm sorry, I had the wrong boiler room. I was actually refering to boiler room 4, which gave away around 2:10 AM. Charles Pellegrino stated that this is what really started "the final plunge". When this happened, Pellegrino wrote: "As Titanic's bow plunges under, Scotland Road and other avenues of seepage stop transmitting water aft and send a storm surge forward." |
