Why Did The Titanic Blame

Do you know who is responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? Well if you don’t it’s a very important thing to learn because, this is part of our history. I believe Captain Smith is responsible for this sinking in 1912 because, he was entirely responsible for the control of the ships wheel.

Have you ever wondered who sank the Titanic? Captain Smith was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic because he put the ship in full speed, he was ignoring the ice warnings, and there were no warnings for the people at the iceberg sighting.

In my opinion, if the captain would have listened to the warnings instead of placing the piece of paper in his coat pocket, they might have been able to change course again for a little while until they passed the ice and survived. A couple days before they left England, Captain Smith decided to alter slightly his route because of the many iceberg warnings that he received. The entire day of April 14, 1912 (the day of the sinking), Captain Smith was still receiving iceberg warnings from the other ships around her. They were all saying the same thing: the route he switched to had large amounts of ice floating about. Ignorantly, the Captain did not heed their warnings very well and did not re change it. He did, however, tell the watchmen to tell him if they saw anything ahead of them that could be potentially dangerous.

The Titanic was the biggest ship of it’s kind when it was built. But it came to end not long after it set sail. Was safety the issue? It was the only cause. For example, my first rule is that there should be 100% transparent communication between captain and crew to passengers, on page 119 it says specifically, “He

Why the issuance of countless codes, rules, best practices and guidelines, the outburst of marine colleges, institutions, governmental offices and committees, the strictness on certification, investigation, inspections and control, did not succeed their safety purpose? Still the Titanic tragedy did not recur after 100 years just by chance.

During the time of her construction, Titanic was the largest, grandest, safest, and most technologically advanced ship during her time. Her designers and engineers set out to build a class of ocean liners that could compete against White Star Line’s rival company, Cunard. However, when Titanic, the second of her sister ships sunk on her maiden voyage, it shook the world and it had a major impact on the world and its people. One of the main effects was the effect on safety regulations. Titanic only carried enough lifeboats to sustain roughly half of the passengers and crew on board. At the time, Titanic actually exceeded the amount of the lifeboats required by the British Board of Trade regulations by 10 percent.

This tragedy could have been avoided if the crew had not over estimated the largest ship in the world, built by a work force of 17,000 people. The designers and crew overlooked many details on the ship knowing that if this ship had ever sunk that they would not be ready for the rescue. The Titanic was considered unsinkable by just about everyone, including Paul Smith the captain of the boat. The crew and the builders of this ship had considered no worries about the Titanic, so they were not fully planned for this destruction (Ballard 11). The radio workers for the Titanic were not even on twenty-four hour surveillance. The workers of the ship thought that they did not need them there because they thought that nothing could go wrong. There was a "…planned preparation rescue effort"(The Titanic) that was meant for the crewmembers to go through many times. This preparation effort was only gone through one, the day before the maiden voyage. If the workers would of considered the massive Titanic as any other boat, they might have taken the correct precautions and more people might

This is not saying that the iceberg did not have a huge impact on the sinking of the ship; however, think about how many lives could have been saved if it was not for the ignorance of the crew members.

The Titanic was the largest ship in the world of its time. This ship was filled with people of all ages and social classes. On the night of April 15, 1912, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic struck a monstrous iceberg and as a result, 1,500 people died. James Bruce Ismay is responsible for the passing of the civilians because he left the boat when he wasn’t supposed to, he owned the Titanic, and he was so cheap when designing the ship.

Passengers on board the Titanic are asleep. The day is April 15, 1912 the time is 12:30 am and the Titanic just hit an iceberg. Nobody knows this, but in two hours less than half of the people on board are going to live while the other half will perish in the deathly cold sea and the Titanic will descend to her grave at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. The people involved with Titanic got arrogant by not adding enough lifeboats, ignoring the iceberg warnings, and not leaving the ship until it was too late.

In “Exploring the Titanic” by Robert D. Ballard, bad planning and bad luck caused many people to die on the Titanic, because people did not know what to do and everything was happening so fast. In the story, “Sensing trouble, Ruth’s mother looked out of the door of their second class cabin and asked a steward what had happened. He told her that nothing was the matte, so Mrs. Becker went back to bed.” That shows that the people who worked there, didn’t tell any of their passengers so when trouble came where they had to evacuate, all the passengers didn’t know what to do. Also another example is “Poking her head out of the cabin, she found a steward and asked what the matter was. “Put on your things and come at once” said the steward. “Do we

CAT: Why did so many people lose their lives on the Titanic? The “unsinkable” RMS Titanic is perhaps the most famous ships ever to have sailed, and disastrously sink, carrying a hefty 2,224 passengers: 325 first class, 285 second class, 706 third class and 908 crew, of which over half died. At the time, it was a colossal achievement: the largest man-made object on Earth, a ship so new the paint was still wet in some spots. Thousands flocked to wave goodbye to the unknowingly flawed “Ship of Dreams” captained by Captain Smith the “Millionaire’s Captain” when it embarked on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, 2nd April 1912, carrying some of the wealthiest people in the world.

After the completion of the Titanic, it was sent from Belfast to Southampton, England for its maiden voyage across the Atlantic. It set sail on April 10, 1912, with 2223 passengers (RMST) and 907 crew members (TT). Captain Edward J. Smith was the first and last man to steer the Titanic. He set the speed to 22 knots and the Titanic began her pivotal journey (AGS). There were many people from many different backgrounds who made that fateful voyage; among those people were thirteen couples had been on board for their honeymoon. There was also countless others who had traveled on the Titanic’s first journey, some of them survived the sinking while others weren’t that lucky. The story of how the Titanic began, and her first voyage will forever remain a large part of the history of transatlantic voyages.

On April 14, 1912, with 1316 passengers and 891 crew members, the Titanic left on it’s Maiden Voyage for New York City. Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee were on duty in the crow's nest and being the “lookouts” they did see an iceberg, but seeing that the ship was “unsinkable” they felt that there was no need to sound an alarm. Some passengers aboard were still wide awake; playing cards or enjoying the gorgeous scenery. While many others were already sound asleep. Around 11:40 that night some people heard a grinding noise coming from the inside of the ship. Then word got around that they had hit an iceberg! But not very many seemed worried and soon, everyone carried on. Soon they realized that the collision was a lot worse than had been anticipated, Captain Smith and some crew members went to check the damage, as they did the crew came to find out that the iceberg had caused a gash in the side of boiler room! This forced the boat to be evacuated. But the Titanic only had enough row boats for a fraction of the passengers. People went back into their rooms and took things that were most valuable to them. At 12:15 A.M. the first wireless call for help was made. The crew would have to act fast otherwise, the Titanic would soon be under the Atlantic,

When analyzing this disaster the first thing to consider is the engineer’s design of the Titanic. The Titanic was employing many new and innovative designs that were believed to make the Titanic the safest ship ever built at that time. The engineer’s of the vessel made claims that the Titanic was “unsinkable” and that “even in the worst possible accident at sea, the ship should have stayed afloat for two to three days.” One of the features that lead them to this claim was the 16 watertight compartments in the hull of the ship. The way they were designed allowed for up to four compartments to be breached and they ship would still carry
