Did the Moon cause the shoddy rivets and overall poor shipbuilding as well?
Here's an article addressing your point concerning the materials and workmanship, albeit from The New York Times: In Weak Rivets, a Possible Key to Titanic’s Doom.
I thought global warming was to blame. :)
and the low water tight locky things/walls...
Because they werent high enough the water was able to reach and flow over into the next room and the next etc very quickly and sank the ship faster...
suposedly it would have stayed afloat longer if that hadnt happened...
Oh and a lack of lifeboats didnt help either...
