... Stronger seams would not have signficantly changed the amount of hull shell deformation. The forces were simply too great. Stronger rivets would have let the shell plating accomodate that deformation with less seam separation and there is certainly some finite but unknown difference in the rate of flooding that occured vs how fast the flooding would have taken place if the rivets had been full strength. This is certainly an interesting and important contribution to the field but to bill it as "mystery solved - cause of sinking discovered" is a big leap. ... Cool. Accurate, open minded and polite. Can this really be r.b.c? Thanks for that. -- Tom. |
