    • They were left behind in England.

    • There weren't enough of them.

    • They had holes in them.

    • They didn't have any oars

    Correct Answer
    A. There weren't enough of them.
    Explanation
    The problem that Titanic had with its lifeboats was that there weren't enough of them. This means that the number of lifeboats on board the ship was insufficient to accommodate all the passengers and crew in the event of an emergency. This was a major contributing factor to the high loss of life during the sinking of the Titanic.

    Correct Answer
    A. Rusticles
    Explanation
    Rusticles are the orange rusty things hanging off the wreckage. They are formed when iron from the wreckage combines with bacteria and minerals in the water, creating a stalactite-like structure. These formations are commonly found on sunken ships and underwater structures, and they slowly consume the iron over time.

    • They were bolted to the floor.

    Correct Answer
    A. They were bolted to the floor.
    Explanation
    The tables and chairs in the Second Class Dining Room were bolted to the floor. This indicates that they were fixed in place and could not be moved around. This feature was likely implemented for safety reasons, to prevent the furniture from sliding or tipping over in rough seas. It also ensured that the tables and chairs remained in their designated positions, providing a more organized and stable dining experience for the passengers in Second Class.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which section of the ship was most damaged when it hit the ocean floor?

    • The stern

    • The bow

    Correct Answer
    A. The stern
    Explanation
    The stern of a ship is the rear section, which is usually more vulnerable to damage in a collision or impact. When a ship hits the ocean floor, the force of the impact is likely to be absorbed by the stern, causing significant damage. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the stern would be the most damaged section in such a scenario.
