The stern and bow sections of the Titanic, which broke apart as the ship sank, now lie approximately 600 meters (about 2,000 feet) apart on the ocean floor. This distance is a result of the ship splitting in two during its descent, with each section drifting separately as they sank to the seabed.

The bow settled relatively intact, while the stern suffered extensive damage due to implosion and the violent sinking process. These two main parts of the wreck are located about 3,800 meters (12,500 feet) deep in the North Atlantic, approximately 370 miles (600 kilometers) off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

Here are some interesting facts about the life jackets used aboard the Titanic:

1. Material: The life jackets on the Titanic were made of canvas and cork. The buoyant cork slabs were designed to help passengers stay afloat in the water.

2. Number of Life Jackets: There were over 3,500 life jackets on board, which was more than enough for the passengers and crew. However, the cold temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean rendered many life jackets ineffective because passengers succumbed to hypothermia rather than drowning.

3. Ineffectiveness in Cold Water: Despite their flotation, many people wearing life jackets still did not survive due to the frigid water. The life jackets kept them afloat, but exposure to temperatures below freezing quickly led to fatal hypothermia.

4. Design Flaws: Some survivors reported that the life jackets were uncomfortable and could cause injury if a person jumped or fell into the water from a significant height. The cork slabs were bulky and hard, sometimes leading to neck injuries.

5. Historical Artifacts: Today, very few of the Titanic’s life jackets remain intact. Some can be found in museums around the world, often displayed as part of Titanic exhibitions. Due to the passage of time and exposure to the elements, many have deteriorated.

HMS Royal Oak was a battleship of the Revenge-class (also known as Royal Sovereign-class) in the Royal Navy. The ship was launched in 1914 and took part in several battles during World War I. However, HMS Royal Oak is more famous for its tragic fate during World War II.

On October 14, 1939, early in World War II, HMS Royal Oak was anchored at the British naval base in Scapa Flow, Scotland. The ship was attacked by the German submarine U-47, commanded by Günther Prien. U-47 successfully infiltrated the waters, which were considered secure, and launched torpedoes at HMS Royal Oak. The attack sank the ship, killing 833 of the 1,234 crew members, including many young sailors.
