New evidence suggests that the ice berg isn't what really caused the titanic to sink into the Atlantic.
For over one hundred years now, the Titanic has been believed to have sunk due to an iceberg collision. But the latest evidence suggest otherwise.
When the ship's electrical engineer took these photos just before the supposed unsinkable ship reeled in it's anchors, I don't think he knew what would happen when they were released on television just this past year. A journalist and titanic expert named Senan Maloney took notice of a mark upon the ships hilt that suggested the ship's reason for sinking wasn't the ice burg at all. Throughout the images released, it's clear to see that the mark on the hilt doesn't change position.
It's believed that the damage to the ship's hilt is around 30 ft long, and caused by a coal fire in boiler room 6. There's a large possibility that this fire is what made the ship's hilt more vulnerable. When it collided with the ice berg later on, the already weakened hilt gave in easily. The ice berg might have been what did the titanic in, but it was just a part in a series of events that sunk the unsinkable ship.
