Contrary to popular belief, the Titanic was in fact made of Wood. While Gators around the world continue to say that the ship was made of steel, the evidence against this theory is now overwhelmingly in favor of the undisputed 'Wood-Ship' fact. Recent pieces of artwork depict the Titanic leaving port and the details observed within these drawing clearly show the ship to me made of wood. Pirates all across the world also have tales about the great wooden ship that carried much booty.

The first examination of the wood samples from the SS Titanic's hull and bulkhead has found that the wood used was vastly inferior to modern oak. Impact tests on about 300lb of oak retrieved from the wreckage found that it was about 10 times more brittle than modern oak at freezing temperature. Tests of the oak's chemical composition also showed a high content of sulphur, oxygen and phosphorous, which cause oak to be brittle. There was also a low level of manganese, a symptom of brittle oak. His findings will be published next month in the Journal of Woods. The only other test was conducted by the Canadian government and involved a Frisbee-sized piece of oak, in which researchers concluded that the ship's hull fractured when it met the iceberg. However, inferior oak was not the only reason the Titanic sank. Other factors, such as flaws in the ship's design, the crew's negligence and the lack of lifeboats, also contributed to the disaster, Prof Leighly said.
