Titanic received six warnings of icebergs by telegraph and three more by signal lamp. Warning ships include: Mesaba, the Noordam, the Amerika, Caronia, Baltic, Californian, Rappahannock, and La Touraine.
Some think the Titanic may have received as many as 7 warnings on the day of the collision. According to history, it received 3 warnings, but 1 warning was not given to Captain Smith. Between 7 and 10.
The problem with the ice on the Titanic was that the crew did not have binoculars to spot icebergs effectively. Additionally, the crew failed to slow down the ship despite receiving iceberg warnings. These factors contributed to the collision between the Titanic and the iceberg, leading to its sinking.
Sinks-alot, Iceberg crew Or Titanic Fail
No. Upon learning that an iceberg was ahead, the captain ordered the crew to reverse the engines, and to steer to the side, but if he would have ordered to have the ship sped up instead, the ship would have most likely have missed the iceberg.
No. Most of the crew died in the accident.
2,208 people were sailing on Titanic when she hit the berg (891 of whom were crew).

The RMS Titanic didn't actually hit the iceberg. The crew tried to steer the Titanic away from it, but she scraped against it, tearing a hole through five hulls. Five hulls! she then started to tip and eventually broke in two.
When Captain Smith received the first iceberg warning, he calmly tacked it onto a bulletin board for the other crew workers to see. When the actual iceberg came directly in front of the ship, they tried to turn the ship and they almost missed it but the iceberg hit the ship from underwater.
The lookouts only spotted the berg with less than forty seconds till impact.
The crew on Titanic were stationed up in a "crows-nest" but they never precisely saw the iceberg. They only saw a black mass that was blocking the stars. Officer Murdoch, on the bridge deck, was in a better position because, being lower down, he would have had more stars being obscured.
2,200 passengers and crew set out on the Titanic, four days later the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank. 1500 people died and 700 survived.
