Abandonment - Why Visitors Don’t Turn Into Customers
Hopefully this article will provide you with some information on how to better market to your audiences.
__One thing that I personally find intriguing is the idea of people abandoning a ship when it starts sinking. A sunken ship not only creates a danger for those in the water, but it also blocks out sunlight for undersea life and plants. This is apparently some sort of "survival instinct". But what does this mean for us? How can we apply this idea to our own lives? __
This article will explore what abandonment and why people abandon things, as well as what you can do about it.
What is a Sunken Ship?
Let’s start by looking at what a "sunken ship" is - how does it happen? How can you avoid one?
The first thing to understand about sunken ships is that they are unsafe. Ships sink as a result of many different things, but most often from damage to their hulls or through the use of bad materials in their construction. Here are some things that have been known to cause ships to sink:
1. A faulty design which only allows the vessel to handle less than its designed load.
2. A hull that is not strong enough to handle the pressure exerted by turbulent waters.
3. Poorly laid-out structural holes in the hull which allow water into the ship’s structure.
4. Hull damage during construction or during sea trials which weakens it structurally before launch.
5. Damage to the hull from being struck by unpredictable objects such as a tsunami or other unforeseen things like rushing waves from an approaching storm - "storm surge". The most common sunken ship was a ship that had been damaged in this way - a ship that could no longer carry its load…the Titanic .
So how do sunken ships happen?
1. Design issues: How can you avoid a sunken ship? The most important thing to remember about designing any vessel is that it must be safe enough to carry out its function, but safe enough to keep those on board from being injured or killed if something goes wrong. A ship that is not designed properly will not be able to carry the load it was meant for, and this can cause it to sink; a sinking ship creates danger for anyone in the water.
2. Hull Weakness: Another important thing to remember about a sunken ship is that its hull must be strong enough to handle the loads applied during normal conditions. The pressures created by turbulent waters or from being struck by an object such as a tsunami can cause structural failure, so failure here is very dangerous because it can lead to injury or death. A sunken ship can be unsafe for anyone in the water.
3. Poorly laid out structural holes in the hull which allow water into the ship’s structure: This would be similar to damage done during construction or during sea trials before launch, and this too has the potential to cause structural failure, leading to large amounts of water going into the vessel’s structure, eventually sinking it. Structural failure or weakness is dangerous for those on board a sinking ship or on board ships nearby.
4. Damage to the hull from being struck by unpredictable objects such as a tsunami or other unforeseen things like rushing waves from an approaching storm - "storm surge". This can lead to structural failure because it's like opening up a valve in the ship's structure, taking in large volumes of water. Although these are huge waves, they are not predictable and can occur at any time, leading to vulnerability in the hull. 5. A ship that has been damaged in such a way that it is no longer able to carry its load: This can happen for many reasons, but most commonly happens as a result of damage to the ships hull as described above. A ship that has been damaged in this way can no longer carry its load, leading to structural failure. 6. The most common sunken ship was a ship that had been damaged in this way - a ship that could no longer carry its load...the Titanic . The Titanic was an American-built passenger liner which sank on its maiden voyage just after midnight on 14 April 1912. After leaving Southampton for New York , the sinking caused the loss of over 1,500 lives (officially).
What causes a sunken ship?
It looks like there are a variety of ways to cause a sunken ship, but as we've already said, it is most often due to damage to the hull. To understand this, you must first understand what a hull is and what the purpose of it is. The primary purpose of a hull is to protect everything inside from damage caused by friction during movement through the water, collisions with other boats or objects like icebergs and also from changes in pressure (due to changes in weather or depth). This protection allows the interior of the ship to be kept at a safe, habitable pressure - which means that your body doesn't explode as soon as you set foot on the deck!
A sunken ship, then, is a vessel whose hull has been damaged in such a way that it can no longer provide the required level of protection for all those on board. This leads to the deaths or injuries of those on board.
Abandonment and Survival
If a sunken ship is dangerous, do people know about it? Well yes. Usually there is a large amount of time before any sort of sinking occurs and people have time to realize that there is a problem. Unfortunately, the problem can be so large that it can be difficult to fix quickly enough - especially if you are already in open water - so people are generally extremely motivated to get off the ship before something bad happens.
The problem with getting off a sunken ship, however, is that the means for getting out may not always be available or reachable (for example if stairs no longer work). This is a problem - because not all people can swim, and not all people can be expected to jump overboard, so the process of getting off a sunken ship can quickly become a real problem.
This is where the idea of abandoning ship comes in. Abandoning means getting off the ship before it sinks. In other words, you leave it before it goes down; or rather, before you are forced to leave it.
Abandonment is what you should do if a ship has a lot of problems and you are likely to be severely injured or killed if it sinks. The alternative to abandoning ship, however, is to stay on the vessel and work together to fix its problems. If the ship can be saved then there may be no need for abandonment - but if it cannot be fixed in time then there may not be another way of getting off the boat.
Conclusion
In general, a ship will sink when the water pressure outside the ship is greater than the pressure inside of it; or, put another way, when the inside of the ship is under greater pressure than the outside. A ship can also sink if it takes a lot of water onto its decks (if there are leaks) and it develops a lot of weight from this water. Also, if water rushes into a hole in the hull and goes around to all parts of that hull, then that is enough to cause an almost immediate sinking - which is why holes in a ships hull are so dangerous.
