In an unprecedented shipwreck a hundred years ago, a 39-year-old Haiwei man named Wang Mo died when the giant ship sank.

Wang Mo was born in a family of sailors in Weihai. His father, grandfather and four brothers from his grandfather's generation were all captains.

After finishing his studies, he went south to become a sailor.

He was originally going to work on a sailing ship for five years, but in his fourth year, he passed the examination and passed the second mate certificate.

He has encountered hurricanes at sea and followed ships on the route from the East China Sea to New York.

Later he joined the shipping company and boarded the Steel.

Wang Mo once wrote his impression of the Steel in a letter: "I still don't like this ship... I have a strange feeling about it."

He was a key player in the shipwreck of the Steel and the decision-maker when the iceberg was discovered.

He was on duty at the time, and he gave two orders: full left rudder, and reverse at full speed!

Unfortunately, it may be because the order was not conveyed accurately. At that time, the order of the helmsman of the ship was in the opposite direction of the movement of the ship. In panic, the helmsman executed the wrong order. The ship may have turned to the right in the end, so he was unable to avoid it.

Open an iceberg.

Secondly, Wang Mo's judgment was incorrect. If the Steel just slowed down and hit the iceberg head-on, based on the design of its watertight compartments, the ship would definitely not sink.

This is the theoretical basis for the "unsinkable" steel number.

But he chose to turn, which led to the final collision, damaging five compartments in a row, and ultimately leading to tragedy.

When he saw this, Zhao Yixin felt extremely suffocated and shocked by some of the side details described in the shipwreck.

"Incredible..."
