On the night of April 14th, 1912, during her maiden voyage, the Titanic struck an iceberg, and sank two hours and forty minutes later in the early hours of April 15th. At the time of the launch in 1912, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world, and regarded as the safest.
The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the worst peacetime disasters in maritime history, and by far the most famous.
But what caused the unsinkable to sink?
It’s been the subject of much controversy for decades. Some have blamed a faulty rudder, while others have cited navigation errors. But according to new research, the key factor in the ship’s sinking may have been the use of sub-standard rivets.
The ‘rivet theory’ was first raised over 10 years ago, but was denied by Harland and Wolff, the company that built the ship. Now, historians have uncovered evidence that the company was forced to compromise on quality as it struggled to build three huge ships at the same time.
Faced with a regular supplier unable to cope, they turned to smaller forges producing less reliable products, to make up the shortfall.
The Titanic was deemed unsinkable because it was designed to stay afloat, even if four of its compartments were flooded. But when it hit the iceberg, so many rivets popped along the starboard side that five compartments took on water, and the ship went down.
And so it seems that this most famous of ships succumbed to the truth of a well worn saying ~ a chain is as strong as its weakest link. No amount of engineering or technology could overcome a deficiency in a small, but critically important part of the ship.
I’m not going to labour this, but now could be
a good time to ask yourself a couple of questions…
Are you confident that the ‘rivets’ in your life and business are strong enough to withstand some unexpected impact? Or have you perhaps cut corners along the way, gambling that you can avoid any nasty icebergs?
They’re not comfortable questions, but answer them honestly and they could help you keep both your head and body above the water line.
