*slaps watertight bulkhead of the RMS Titanic* this bad boy can contain so much water provided no more than 4 compartments are breached and the water does not spill over the top of the watertight bulkheads

@a_breakin_glass tbf the bulkheads were watertight, but watertight bulkheads aren't very useful once you've started sinking

@envgen @a_breakin_glass "There's a problem sir, we're sinking!"
"but we had watertight bulkheads!"
"Yes the problem is once water got INSIDE those bulkheads, they're stuck there."
"Damn! if ONLY we had some bulkheads that weren't watertight to let the water OUT again!"
"...ooorrr you could have just decided not to flood half the ship's compartments WITH watertight bulkheads because you thought 'I think the crew could do with swimming pools on a ship in the ocean but what do i know."
