(I) Do sinking ships suck nearby objects down with
them? (II) In the early 20th century, this was held to be
the case, and the advice for lifeboats launched from a
sinking ship was to row hard away to avoid being pulled
down with it. (III) This may have contributed to the loss
of life on the Titanic, as only 13 survivors were pulled
from the water. (IV) However, some survivors report
struggling against a powerful suction, while others claim
to have been able to step off the sinking ship without
their head even going under. (V) Two surveying ships
with the help of the US Navy made the discovery of the
wreck, which required a huge amount of equipment.
