Andrews: She's Going to Sink, Explained：a mathematical certainty
Andrews lays out the damage on the bridge: five compartments are flooding below the waterline and the pumps cannot keep up. "She's going to sink, Captain," he says, and the reply — "She's unsinkable" — is answered flatly with "She can't float." From there it is arithmetic: the ship has an hour and a half.
あらすじ
After the collision, Andrews is called to the bridge and reports the damage: the forepeak, holds one and two, the mail room and boiler rooms five and six are flooding, a gash 300 feet long below the waterline. He tells Captain Smith plainly that the ship will sink, and works out that she has about an hour and a half left.

What's really going on
The scene turns a rumour into arithmetic. Until now the passengers have only guesses — "Bumped a bit of ice, I think" — but on the bridge Andrews gives the cold sum: five compartments flooding, water that will spill over the tops of the bulkheads one after another. "She's going to sink, Captain," he says, and when someone insists "She's unsinkable," the correction is blunt: "She can't float." What unsettles the men is not panic but inevitability; Andrews calls it "a mathematical certainty." The last exchange is the real horror: twenty-two hundred people on board, and room in the boats for twelve hundred. Smith's order, "There must be no panic," is voiced as discipline, yet it also means the truth will be kept from most of the ship.
Theme
DutyAndrews and Smith face the numbers calmly and plan for the boats, even as the ship is doomed.
SurvivalThe arithmetic of the sinking and the shortage of lifeboat space decide who can live.
このチャプターで学べること
- A calm number can end an argument faster than an opinion.
- Calling it mathematics removes doubt and any hope.
- An order in a crisis names the real priority.
- The unsinkable claim dies in a single four-word reply.
発音のポイント
- get those men up — The t in get is often dropped before those.
- What have we — Blend what have into one sound when listening.
- give you a — Give you often runs together as a single sound.
- She's unsinkable. - She can't float.The film's central irony in one exchange: the boast that the ship cannot sink meets the engineer's flat answer that she simply will not float.
With that amount of underwater damage, she can't stay afloat.Andrews rules out hope: the length of the gash means the flooding cannot be stopped and the ship cannot be kept up.
There must be no panic.Smith's first order once he understands the scale of it: whatever happens, the crew must keep the passengers calm.
She's going to sink, Captain.The moment the sinking stops being a possibility and becomes a fact delivered to the man in command.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Andrews say the Titanic must sink?
Water is flooding five compartments, more than the ship can survive. With the bulkheads only reaching E Deck, water spills from one compartment into the next and pulls the bow down — which Andrews calls a mathematical certainty.
Why do some people still think the ship is unsinkable?
It had been promoted as practically unsinkable, and the watertight-compartment design sounded foolproof. Andrews corrects that belief: she can float with four compartments flooded, but not with all five.
How long does Andrews think the ship has left?
About an hour and a half. He works it out from the amount of water taken on in the first ten minutes after the collision.
Why is the lifeboat capacity a problem?
There are twenty-two hundred or more people on board, but the boats have room for only about twelve hundred. The Board of Trade regulations never imagined a situation like this.
