provide watertight subdivision of the ship's hull important in retaining buoyancy if the hull is damaged. Subdivision of a ship's hull into watertight compartments...

pull the zipper shut. These zippers are very common where airtight or watertight seals are needed, such as on scuba diving dry suits, ocean survival suits...

Titanic, which sank in spite of its watertight bulkheads). Smaller vessels and submarines generally feature watertight hatches between compartments, which...

Waterproofing is the process of making an object, person or structure waterproof or water-resistant so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or...

Titanic had advanced safety features, such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, which contributed to the ship's reputation...

A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. The hull may open at the top (such as a dinghy), or it may be fully or partially...

demolition" instead of an iceberg. Another theory involves Titanic's watertight doors. This theory suggests that if these doors had been opened, the Titanic...

the space between surfaces. Sealants increase the airtightness and watertightness of spaces. Aircraft have glues such as cockpit doors, fasteners, lights...

hole into another boiler room. In addition, the failure to test for watertightness in each compartment played a role as potential leaks could not be found...

light hull (casing in British usage) of a submarine is the outer non-watertight hull which provides a hydrodynamically efficient shape. The pressure hull...

build a temporary watertight extension of the entire hull of the ship, or the space to be dewatered, to the surface. This watertight extension is a cofferdam...

between Dover and Calais. As was common at the time, it was built with no watertight compartments. The ship left harbour with her bow door open, and the sea...

firing. Glazes can used to decrease permeability and hence increase watertightness. Unglazed terracotta is suitable for use below ground to carry pressurized...

would expand when wet, further tightening joints and making the hull watertight. They formed the shell of the boat, which was then reinforced by horizontal...
