One hundred years ago today (15 April) the Titanic sank.

I thought it was too big to sink.

Almost 3/4 of the passengers were drowned including several
American millionaires.

I always found it strange that there wasn't enough wood or other
light-weight materials onboard that could have been scavanged to make
ad-hoc rafts or other floatation aids.

Weren't there enough bathtubs in the staterooms that could have been
used as one-person mini-boats?

I can possibly agree with the wood theory, but removing tubs, plugging
drain holes and getting them launched is quite the fantasy.
