TITANIC & DESTRUCTIVE WAVES
Although it is traditionally thought of by most people these days that the sinking of the Titanic was purely down to it hitting an Iceberg, plus maybe with some other reasons also being involved. This doesn't tell the whole story as to the manner of how it eventually sank.
And although it has been very well investigated and discussed over the last century or so, the tragedy still throws up one big questions in particular in my mind. With that anomaly being, not why the liner sank, when it was supposed to be unsinkable but instead. Why the ship snapped in half on the surface before sinking.
It has been suggested upto now that because the bow was sinking first and due to the depth of water that it reached. Then the pure weight of the back end of the boat being so far out of the water, would make the ship snap in half, due to its weight. With this being due to the back half being totally unsupported by the water that it would be normally sitting in.
But from the testimony of Eva Hart and who was a child at the time saying (with the shocking event fully etched in her memory) that she was adamant that her, her mother and many others in the life boats clearly saw that the ship only fully sank, after braking apart at the surface. With the bow end being only partly submerged and the rest of the ship in the water and so showing that it was maybe unsinkable.
So this left me looking at some subsequent other force and which not only broke the all ready stricken liner apart. But then also forcing the two halves to become further separated as the two halves sank. With them then being found some distance away from each other, when they eventually did reach the ocean floor.
The front half to two thirds of the Titanic on the sea bed
With so many survivors saying that it did brake in two before sinking, with the bow section still being clearly seen, plus the fact that the two halves were found some distance from each other. Then this can't help but leave me pondering, why did it sink in the manor that it did? With a possible answer already occurring to me due the my work on Electric Weather Mechanics.
And that it was electrical charge within earth's global circuit being the cause and so considering that some sort of rogue wave being the ultimate reason why it sank in the manor that it did.
I am not the first to suggest that an out of the ordinary wave might have been the reason though. But this more modern suggestion is still taken from today's stand point of a purely fluid mechanic's view of meteorology and so how waves are are formed by the wind. But when looked at from my Electric Weather Mechanics point of view, a bigger and I think truer picture does start to emerge.
For a detailed background on Electric Weather Mechanics and the workings of electrical charge in earth's electrical circuitry and which includes the weather generally, see my other writing on this site regarding it.
The original reason that this subject sparked an interest in me is due to my writing on our charged weather and then how the Titanic wreck was discovered, by the instigation of the U.S Navy and who were extremely interested in this very small part of the ocean. With this being due to them having lost two of their own submarines in the same area back in the sixties.
Many years later on from the loss of the two subs and as technology improved with undersea submersibles, they then got the oceanographer Robert Ballard (an ex navel man), to do a follow up search to locate their submarine wrecks and which had nuclear weaponry on board and so was of great concern. Before he was then allowed to look for the Titanic.
So this got me thinking. Was it just a big coincidence that two submarines plus a luxury liner all succumbed to the ocean, with them all getting lost in roughly the same area. Or is there an electrically charged weather component going on as well?
I personally think that due to the location of their discoveries, being in close proximity to each other, then there could well be another contributing factor to all three being lost and so, it might be able explain the phenomena as a whole. With a 'freak, rouge or monster wave coming into play.
In the past, these types of waves were just once considered to be a thing of myth and then later, just be extremely rare. But with modern technology we now know that these waves are a common reality and so they have to be considered and especially when Electric Weather Mechanics is taken into consideration.
In storm conditions when there are big swells, monster waves can happen within the big swells, with some of them being many times higher than the surrounding swell and so can completely dwarf a ship. With this being expected under such charged storm conditions.
But this wasn't the case with the Titanic, as the conditions weren't at all stormy and in fact, were very, very far from it. With many reports saying that the sea looked the stillest that they have ever witnessed it. With one officer on board saying that the ocean looked like a sheet of glass.
Although it would naturally be thought that big waves of any type could only happen in choppy conditions, it is now known that some waves can rise out of a calm sea as well and as such, are not at all understood. Although some mathematicians and others have tried to explain them by invoking Quantum Mechanics and stealing and combining energy from other waves.
But that guess would mean that these waves are going completely against what we know of in normal physics. Where waves in stormy or even choppy conditions usually passing through each other. Let alone a single one in calm conditions appearing out of nowhere.
But from an Electric Weather Mechanics perspective though and when the earth's surface below the waves is taken into account. A release of concentrated negative charge rising from these areas and up towards the positively charged ionosphere, it could account for it. With that being in rough or calm conditions.
So it is not surprising from an Electric Weather Mechanics point of view that the vast majority of shipwreck events happen near or over continental ocean shelves that surround the continental land masses. Plus where the deviations in the ocean floor generally rises above the surrounding ocean bed. With these being very important when taken in conjunction with the atmospheric conditions at any given time and with the electrical currents that run through the oceans.
In the construction of the luxury cruse liner the Titanic, the steel used was known as an inferior steel, although this term is somewhat misleading, due to it being perfectly ok and widely used in ships at that time. Even though this type of steel is called inferior, it does have the same overall strength as normal steel and so was perfectly normal as a construction material.
The reason it was called inferior is because of having sulphur and phosphorous impurities in it and which are produced during its manufacture, with them making the steel more brittle (and especially at colder temperatures), rather than actually weaker.
Higher quality steel has the ability to deform under pressure and so will not tend to snap in extreme conditions. But when hot even the inferior type of steel will be just as pliable. But once cooled again, will go back to their normal inferior state.
The sister ship of the Titanic was the Olympic and used exactly the same steel. With the Olympic having three decades of travelling the oceans, before it finished its service and was scrapped for parts.
During its time afloat, the Olympic was involved in two collisions and which included her purposely ramming and sinking the German U-Boat, U-103 in 1918 and so showing that the steel was perfectly fine, in normal conditions.
Although the steel that was used was perfectly fine in the Titanic, as the Olympic service history showed. It did actually set sail with a fire burning in the forward coal bunker, next to one of the boilers and so making the steel around the fire eventually becoming red hot.
But as the Titanic had a double floor construction and which was designed to hold ballast water between the layers, it wasn't then considered a great concern, with the Judge at the subsequent enquiry into the sinking, quickly dismissing it as being of any importance.
As the ship started its journey with the coal burning, with it being continually shovelled into the boilers for 3 day, along with the normal stock, it did warp some bulk heads. But no cracks or splits were reported in the steel, with them just warping slightly under the extreme heat.
The Titanic left Southampton on the 10th, 1912, with it sailing on across the Atlantic until it eventually sank 350 miles off of the Canadian coast. With the disaster starting at 11:40 on the 14th April and the ship then sinking at 02:20 on the 15th, some 2 hours 40 minutes later.
From the recorded reports from those that survived and they do seem very reliable, there is absolutely nothing to suggest that that a rogue wave hit the liner either before or after it hit the iceberg according to the survivor's reports, so why do I think that one might be involved? Well it's the way I suspect that they appear on the surface in calm conditions.
From the weather perspective, we know that the ship passed through two cold fronts as it neared the Canadian coast, with the second one being on the 14th.
After passing through the first cold front, the temperature dropped from 10 degrees C at midday to about 4 degrees C at 19:30. With it subsequently passing through the second front, with the temperature dropping again but now to below freezing, as it entered fully into an atmospheric High (Arctic air Mass) behind the fronts. The sea then became very still and with no wind. With the stars then being seen shinning brightly overhead.
There was no moon visible and which would have been good for spotting icebergs and which were known to be in the waters around this part of the ocean and as reported by other vessels in the same general area at that time.
On the morning following the sinking a survivor reported that as the sun rose and so increasing the positive charge through the atmosphere. This created a breeze and so making the ocean a bit more choppy, with photographs from rescue ships showing this.
During the time around the sinking there is photographic evidence of icebergs being in the area and were taken by other ships in the vicinity. The one below was taken by the chief steward of the German ocean liner SS Prinz Adalbert.
He noted that it had a stripe of red paint along it and so suggesting that it had been in collision with a ship. But as is the case with all big liners back then, they were all painted black. With this being so to disguise the coal dust marks left when filling big ships with their fuel and so this isn't evidence that the Titanic hit this particular iceberg.
In the ships crows nest on board the Titanic, two crew members were on lookout for icebergs and sea ice generally. They didn't have binoculars due to those being locked away, with them not being given a key to obtain them and so were peering into the dark unaided with their watch.
After spotting an iceberg directly in front of the ship crewman Fredrick Fleet in the crows nest struck the warning '3 Bells' and called down to the bridge by telephone to quickly inform them. With the officer replying "thank you" and the ship then manoeuvring to try and avoid it. But the iceberg was suddenly upon them, with it hitting the ship's starboard side. and punching the hull beneath the water line.
After the collision it was then reported that the ship was taking on water and so the officer on deck started to close all the water tight doors between the compartments below deck and so stopping the water from going any further. But reports then started to come in that water was still getting into the other compartments, with the front of the liner filling with water.
There is of course much confusion as to the exact events, with many of those who were there to witness it, going down with the ship. So we can only go with those that did survive and what they witnessed from their perspective, with their recollection of the events.
When the weather is looked at from a charged point of view, with a ship being under a strong atmospheric high, with still conditions, there is a lot of negative charge rising from the earth's surface and through the continental land masses as well as through the electrically conductive ocean water and towards the sky above.
Normally with a metal boat and whether in rough or calm conditions, it will act like a Faraday Cage with any negative charge from below just running around the outside skin of the boat, on its journey up through the atmosphere to the positively charge ionosphere where it is then being concentrated at the aurora to complete the earth circuit.
But due to an atmospheric high being wide and so a low density discharge, the travelling charge will not be felt on deck as such but will be felt as a change in temperature. As temperature is a by product of moving charge. With this being the same with the wind.
But due to the atmospheric High being strong though and which could be seen with the surface of the ocean being as a flat as mill pond. Then any metal vessel on that surface and above a piece of raised ocean bed, it would then attract and focus some of that returning electrical current and so act on the flat surface as an attractive and then conducting object, as the negative charge takes the path of least resistance and heads skyward. With the charge going up through the crows nest structure, the mast at the back, as well as through the funnels.
As already stated, the reason that the titanic was originally spotted on the ocean floor was due to the U.S navy loosing two submarines in the same area decades later. So is it just a coincidence that three vessels came across tragedy in about the same location and I personally think not.
I would like to see the downed sub's damage though, know the weather conditions at the time and know where in the water they were and especially if they were on or very near the surface, so to ascertain a definite collation between these events.
A submarine is actually the best type of ship to have for a comparison to such events, due to its design. As it is for most part a flattish design with a portion of it sitting just above the waters surface, with just one major piece of superstructure rising high into the air and so transporting any charge from beneath the water to the atmosphere and being confined through that single point. With that point being its conning tower and/or periscope.
So with their demise it would be interesting to see their photographs for analysis and whether there was a breach below the water line and so allowing water to flood in and even splitting those craft to some degree and possibly even in half like the Titanic. Or that they had open doors into the submarine then with an up-flow of water then covering the subs and going in through the open hatchways and so sinking them.
With so many boats using these shipping lanes through the ocean over the years, what was so different with the Titanic and why would a water breach make the luxury liner split and break in half, rather than just going nose down to the ocean's bottom in one piece?
At the time of the Titanic striking the iceberg, the first officer felt a slight judder while he was in his bunk, having not long before finished his own watch on the bridge. He was not concerned straight away though as it didn't seem like much and so suggests that the ship only stuck the ship once. with ice falling onto the decks.
Others have said that they heard a succession of bangs and seeing that so many compartments filled with water, they assumed that the iceberg hit the ship more than once. But the bangs could have been bulkheads being brittle and giving way under the pressure of the very cold Atlantic water.
After the ship hit the iceberg some passengers from the third class even played football with some lumps of ice that fell onto their deck. With one passenger from an upper class deck even taking a lump to the bar to be broken up and put in his drink. This tells us that the iceberg hit a mid ships at least as this is where the passenger decks are, rather than at the front.
And so I think that this point of collision is a major factor as to why it split in two. Rather than it being a string of holes in the ship, running from the front and towards the middle of the ship.
With salt water being electrically conductive and with it filling the ship, it would have transported a charged wave with lots of pressure from below and up into the boat. With this I reason being the major factor.
There is now much evidence that some of these rogue waves can do enormous damage to a ship, due to them being electrically driven. With some of them being of such concentrating energy that they punch big hols in ships.
So if one was formed below the waterline from a negative charge release from the ocean bed and then travelled up and inside a ship with it being accelerated by the conductive nature of a metal ship and concentrated that power through an existing hole caused by a collision with an iceberg. Then the power would be massively increased and so put massive pressure on the internal structure of the ship.
With the result being that the vortex of water would not only split the boat in two but also, then push the two halves apart, with them then sinking to the ocean floor at different locations.
Bearing this electrical scenario in mind, we can now see how this might well be responsible for the many, if not most unexplained losses at sea. With the Bermuda and its counter part the Dragon Triangle on the other side of the earth, being examples of this.
And so, even also explaining losses happening when travelling through our electrically charged atmosphere, with compasses changing direction and so confusing pilots. As the magnetic field when travelling through a vortex of travelling charge, not just overcoming the earth's natural magnetic field but also, within itself as described by Dr Don Scott's mathematical work on Birkeland Currents.
Flight 19
Since first writing this piece the research has been ongoing and with it, massive new insights into the ship's demise. Now with new scanning techniques and powerful 3D modelling, we have the ability to see the wreck site in amazing detail.
But unlike the conclusions reached by the team looking at the new data and that the ship split apart a long way down in the ocean rather than at the surface. With this being because of the tighter than expected size of the debris field. I see it as a validation for a vortex of negative electrical charge being the cause of its break up.
When consider that a Birkland Current emanating from the seabed is like a tornado running up through the atmosphere. Then this would explain the stern section of the ship spinning on its way down, with the upward pressure of the vortex current splaying out the sides of the ship as it sank down through it. Plus like with a tornado, having its debris field close to the vortex. Then we can easily see that it was the electromagnetic forces that were involved and that it was a discharge that caused the sinking, in the manor that the Titanic sank.
