As for the dumping of the chains and anchors, I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference. It's estimated that within 45 minutes after impact with the iceberg, Titanic had already taken on more than 15,000 tons of water.
Robert,
I remember reading somewhere that if the Titanic had slammed into the iceberg head on (remember, she was doing roughly 22 knots ((25MPH)) when she hit), roughly the first three or four compartments would have been crushed or open...
That's a phenomenal resource. Thanks for the tip!
