New Theory Emerges On How the Titanic Sunk

For quite some time, it has been widely believed that the infamous sinking of the Titanic occurred when the ship collided with an iceberg and was struck from the side.

This portrayal was famously depicted in the James Cameron movie, suggesting that the captain's misjudgment led to the ship narrowly scraping against the iceberg. It has been proposed that the inadequate navigation of the ship ultimately led to its tragic fate.

However, a groundbreaking new 3D scan has recently emerged, presenting a compelling alternative theory. The scan indicates a strong possibility that the Titanic was not struck from the side but rather from the bottom. Experts now theorize that the Titanic might have encountered an iceberg "shelf" or an artic ice pack lurking beneath the water's surface, making it exceptionally challenging for the crew to detect the hidden peril.

From Express UK:

Captain L. M. Collins released a book in 2002 titled “The Sinking of the Titanic, An Ice Pilot’s Perspective,” where he proposed three reasons why he believed Titanic actually hit pack ice.

Following the release of the book, he said: “I am convinced beyond everything that it was impossible to hit an iceberg.

“Instead, the Titanic transited a strip of Arctic pack ice.

“Arctic pack ice is multi-year-old ice, a very hard ice.

“Numerous ships sunk the same way, by slicing open the hull.

“There is no credible evidence that Titanic hit or was in contact with an iceberg.”

Captain Collins detailed in the book how roughly 10 minutes before the sinking, the two lookouts spotted what they believed to be haze on the horizon, extending approximately 20 degrees on either side of the ship's bow.
Captain Collins claimed what they actually saw was not haze but a strip of pack ice.

This theory presents a fascinating perspective and provides valuable insights into the final moments leading up to the Titanic's collision with the ice. It offers a fresh understanding of the events that transpired.
