From the location of the compartments known to have been flooded in is believed the Hull sprung open As far aft As the second of inc liner s four Slacks. Those who fled the flooding compartments probably did not know whether the water was coming from a tear or through buckled plates Mallard said. Ballard said in appeared thai the Bow and Stem halves of the ship broke up very Early separating after the ship Sank beneath the surface perhaps from implosions caused by increasing water pressure. This would explain Why the two halves were lying 2,000 feet apart with the Stem twisted so that in laced the same direction As the Bow. Thai the two halves of the liner the world s larg est in her Day followed Independent paths to inc Bottom is further indicated by the distribution of debris.

Most of the debris including chamber pots and space healers was from the third class Section. They arc not very Etc gang artefacts he said objects made of Wood or other organic substances have almost completely disintegrated but items made of Copper brass Glass and ceramics have been Little altered he said.
