The Aquitania was known as "ship beautiful" and had deteriorated considerably with age.Her decks leaked in foul weather and a piano had fallen through the roof one of the dining rooms from the deck above during a corporate luncheon being held on the ship.This truly signalled the end of Aquitania's operational life.

Name three things that sink and why they sink?
Rocks sink because they are denser than water, causing them to displace less water and therefore sink. Metal objects sink due to their high density, which makes them heavier than water and causes them to sink. Sunken ships sink because they take on water, increasing their overall weight and causing them to sink below the water's surface.
Does anorthite float or sink?
Anorthite has a specific gravity greater than 3, which means it is denser than water and will sink in it.
Do marbles sink or float?
Marbles are denser than water, so they will sink when placed in water.
Why is a sink called a sink?
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
Why do I sink in the pool?
When you sink in the pool, it is because your body is denser than the water. This causes you to displace water and sink below the surface.
