历史文献中记载的水密隔舱源远流长，考古发掘中水密隔舱海船遗物不断发现。

In historical documents , watertight compartment has a long history , watertight compartments ship relics also continually found in archaeological excavations .

由于船壳破损，海水进入甲板下左舷水密隔舱，使驳船失去平衡，最终导致了货轮及所载货物一起翻沉。

Because of the damage to the hull , seawater rushed into the under-deck watertight compartment on port side , the barge lost its balance and sank finally together with the loaded cargo .

这样，水密隔舱的意义远比当初所宣称的抗沉、分隔货区之用途要高，它是中国文化在造船技术上的典型代表。

In this way , the watertight compartments significance is higher than originally claimed that resistance to sinking and the separating the cargo area , it is a typical representative of Chinese culture in shipbuilding technology .
