While it boasted advanced features like watertight compartments, the bulkheads did not extend high enough to prevent water from spilling over into adjacent compartments. Additionally, the ship lacked enough lifeboats for all passengers. When it struck an iceberg, these flaws contributed to its rapid sinking, making it a tragic testament to overconfidence in design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SS_Eastland\"><\/span><strong>SS Eastland<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SS-Eastland-1024x647.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SS-Eastland-1024x647.png 1024w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SS-Eastland-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SS-Eastland-768x485.png 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SS-Eastland.png 1139w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The SS Eastland capsized while still docked due to its top-heavy design.
