Did speed play a part in while the Titanic sank?

Yes and no. Yes: they would have seen the Titanic sooner and therefore have alarmed the bridge sooner, thous, missing the iceburg. No: If the lookout saw the iceberg at the same time that they did, but the bridge kept the Tianic at full speed, they would have miss the iceberg. Why? Because the faster a ship is going, the faster and harder it can turn.


Did Lefebure Belgian horses go down with the Titanic?

No, but some were on a ship which left port the day before. Mr. Lefebure did try to book passage on the Titanic, but when he couldn't, he sailed on the ship which was carrying his horses. While passing the iceburg (of course not knowing what was about to happen), he took a photo. One of my great-great aunts married a Lefebure, and I saw the iceberg photo at a family reunion.


Was the titanic found?

Yes, Frederick Fleet the lookout saw the iceberg before the collision but with less than forty seconds, it was too late. The berg was not visible to anybody in the deckhouse, including the sailor who had his hand on the wheel at the time.
