Saviez-vous que le Titanic avait une fausse cheminée ? En réalité, il avait trois cheminées fonctionnelles, mais la quatrième était juste là pour faire joli ! Cette "fausse" cheminée supplémentaire a été ajoutée pour rendre le navire plus imposant et équilibré, donnant aux passagers davantage confiance en sa robustesse et sa vitesse. Elle servait également à améliorer la ventilation pour les cuisines et les salles des machines. C'est l'un de ces choix de conception originaux qui rendent l'histoire du Titanic encore plus fascinante ! Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00In the movie Titanic, you will notice the absence of smoke above the 4th chimney of the famous deck and this is not a mistake.
00:08In 1911, the year before the departure of the famous deck, the large ships were mainly equipped with 4 chimneys.
00:16They were necessary to evacuate the heat and the smoke generated by their huge boilers.
00:22The Titanic, a real masterpiece of engineering, needed only 3 chimneys to function efficiently.
00:28Thus, the 4th was added for purely aesthetic reasons.
00:33The White Star Line thought that the public would have been disappointed to see only 3 conduits on the largest ship of all time.
00:40The twin ships of the Titanic, the Olympic and the British also each had a fake chimney for the same reason.
00:48This fake chimney was not totally useless and was actually used for ventilation.
00:53It allowed to evacuate the smoke from the room of the machines located in the lower deck as well as that of one of the large first class lounges.
01:01A large ventilation duct, instead of several smaller ones, allowed to unclog the upper decks, thus leaving more free space for passengers.
01:11When the Titanic sank, its chimneys, each weighing 60 tons, sank with the rest of the ship.
01:17They were exceptionally high in order to ensure that passengers were not covered with sweat.
01:22Their size and weight allowed them to remain in a vertical position until the ship began its final dive.
01:29Lighter than the bow, these chimneys dispersed among the other debris.
01:34The relatively light material of which they were made flattened by touching the bottom of the ocean
01:39and the eating bacteria of living iron in the depths then contributed to their decomposition.
01:45The bow of the Titanic remained intact when it touched the bottom of the ocean, but the stern was completely destroyed.
01:52When the famous Pak Bo hit this iceberg, the situation quickly turned sour.
01:59It took 2 hours and 40 minutes for this future movie star to be completely submerged.
02:06The collision first allowed water to flood 6 of the 16 compartments.
02:11As it rushed ashore, the ship began to tilt forward and slightly to the right.
02:18At midnight, the damaged compartments poured water into the adjacent compartments, creating a real chaos,
02:25because these compartments were only watertight horizontally.
02:28Shortly after, the water began to infiltrate through the hole used to raise the anchor,
02:34and at 2 o'clock in the morning, the bow sank while the propellers of the stern were lifted out of the water.
02:40The ship continued to take water until the bow was submerged and the stern rose to almost 45 degrees.
02:49The weight of these huge propellers exerted immense pressure on the medial part of the ship.
02:55The steel did not resist and eventually gave in.
02:59Survivors described this deafening noise, similar to that of broken porcelain or a collapsing scaffolding,
03:06it was the upper structure of the Titanic that gave in.
03:09At 2.12 a.m., the bow and stern were no longer connected by the internal structure of the hull.
03:16A few minutes later, the bow, weighing about 16,000 tons, detached from the stern.
03:22The stern then suddenly straightened up in an almost vertical position before slowly starting to sink.
03:29At 2.20 a.m., it completely disappeared under the water.
03:33The bow dived at nearly 20 km per hour and reached the bottom of the ocean about half an hour before the stern.
03:40The two sections of the Titanic now rest 610 meters from each other, pointing in opposite directions.
03:47The stern remained mainly intact, simply covered with mud.
03:51The stern, on the other hand, turned into an unrecognizable wreck due to the implosions suffered during the descent.
03:58The air trapped inside the structure could not resist the increasing pressure of the water at such a depth.
04:04The distress rockets played a crucial role in the tragedy of the Titanic.
04:08In the event of a shipwreck, red rockets must be launched to report a problem.
04:13However, someone had decided to equip the Titanic with white rockets instead of the usual red ones.
04:19Thus, when the ship hit the iceberg, the crew fired the so-called white rockets.
04:24The California SS, which was nearby, had been warned of the presence of dangerous icebergs in the area.
04:31The Californian crew did not spot the Titanic in distress, but they did see the white rockets.
04:37Their radio was also useless because the Californian operator had turned it off.
04:42The captain, suspecting a problem, then sent a bright signal in Morse to the Titanic,
04:48but received no response because the ship was already dark.
04:52Another ship, the Samson, was also sailing near the Titanic.
04:56Loaded with large quantities of seal meat, illegally hunted in Canadian waters and frozen,
05:01it sailed without fire to remain discreet.
05:04Seeing the Titanic's white rockets, the crew thought they were coast guards and quickly left these waters.
05:11Without radio, the Samson could not be informed of the disaster in progress
05:15and learned the news only by reaching the Icelandic coast the following month.
05:19Many theories have been advanced to explain the tragedy of the Titanic,
05:23and one of the most recent suggests that a fire played a role in it.
05:27An Irish journalist, Senan Molony, played detectives for decades,
05:32exploring the mysteries of the shipwreck and made a major discovery.
05:36A photo album, hidden for a century after the tragedy.
05:40In the photos taken at the Arland & Wolfe Naval Shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland,
05:44just a week before the shipwreck took to the sea,
05:47we can clearly see a huge 9-meter black spot on the ship's hull.
05:52Molony studied these photos and testimonies of the time,
05:55stating that a fire had spontaneously occurred inside one of the huge coal soot of the Titanic.
06:01This fire raged for three whole weeks, severely weakening a crucial segment of the ship's hull.
06:08At that time, most of the hulls had only one hull,
06:12and it was the only protection the Titanic had.
06:15This is why the iceberg managed to pierce the ship's flank so easily.
06:19If it hadn't been for the fire, the Titanic might have resisted its impact with the iceberg.
06:24The company that operated the hull was also aware of this disaster,
06:28but had chosen to conceal this information to avoid any negative publicity,
06:32because it faced strong competition on transatlantic voyages.
06:36The Titanic was complete, so they filled it with coal and sailed in spite of everything.
06:41The moon could also have played a role in the shipwreck.
06:45Our satellite exerts a great influence on terrestrial tides.
06:49The closer it is to our planet, the stronger the tides are due to the increase in lunar attraction.
06:55In 1912, the moon was so close that it caused the rupture of several glaciers in Greenland.
07:02Enormous pieces of ice separated and began to drift south.
07:07This supermoon event occurred just 6 minutes after a great tide.
07:12During the new moons and full moons, the alignment of our satellite, the sun and the earth,
07:18causes their combined gravity to reach its peak.
07:21The day before, our planet was closer to the sun of the year,
07:25which made this gravity even stronger.
07:28This cocktail of events created perfect conditions for one of the most powerful tides in history,
07:34favoring the drift of the icebergs detached from the glaciers of Greenland.
07:38Opponents to this theory argue that the difference in strength of this tide
07:43would not have been significant enough to be the main cause of the shipwreck.
07:48The iceberg tore the side of the ship, leaving a huge opening in its hull.
07:52It was not a continuous tear, and several places were damaged.
07:56Some experts believe that the ship would have survived the iceberg if it had hit it head-on.
08:01The Titanic, which has waterproof compartments designed to prevent floods in the event of a collision,
08:07only the first three or four of these compartments would have been flooded.
