Especially following the underwater discovery of the sunken Titanic, maritime experts have suggested that the structural steel then in use in the Titanic's plates became brittle at icy temperatures and may have fractured after simply bumping the iceberg. Thus there was a major flaw in the construction of the steel. It should have been made more flexible, less brittle, so that it would bend and give rather than break. It has been said that the Ark was made by amateurs and the Titanic was made by experts. The difference is that the amateurs were guided by God and the experts made a fatal mistake. Hundreds of people put their trust in the engineering genius and production of man.

According to the 1996 expedition's experts, the bow portion of the Titanic had struck the seabed at an angle and slid across it, plowing up sediments that covered the damaged area of the hull. To overcome this obstacle, the 1996 expedition used sophisticated sonar equipment, known as a sub-bottom profiler, to determine the extent and nature of the damage. Sonar uses reflected sound waves instead of light waves to “see” objects. Because sound waves can both penetrate material and reflect off material of differing density in different ways, the sonar was able to provide an image of what lay behind the sediments.

The sinking of the Titanic has been claimed by several groups, including (but not limited to), the IRA, the APA, and ABBA. All of whom had egg on their face after it was revealed that the whole thing was a hoax perpetrated by Justin Lee Collins for the Friday Night Project

Titanic's Gymnasium was located on the starboard side of the Boat deck, immediately adjacent to funnel No. 2. It contained many novel items of equipment for an oceangoing liner of the era, including an electric camel, an electric horse, cycles and a rowing machine.
