What is the cruising range for a cruise ship?
Most cruise liners have a cruising speed that ranges between 22 and 31 knots. A cruising speed of 26 knots is about 30 miles per hour.
What is the maximum speed of the titanic?
The maximum speed capability of the Titanic was 23 knots. The Titanic hit was moving at 22.5 knots at the time it hit the iceberg.Titanic's top speed was 23 knots, the equivalent to 26.47 mph.She hit the berg at 22 knots. (maybe less than 25 mph)
What was the at least speed of titanic?
Titanic's top speed was 23 knots, the equivalent of 26.47 mph, but she hit the berg at 22 knots (about 25 mph).
What was the Titanic speed at time of accident?
The Titanic was traveling at 22 knots when it collided with the iceberg, also the same speed as it was going when it hit the bottom of the Atlantic. 22 knots is approximately 25 mph or 40 kph
What is the hull speed for a Catalina 22 sailboat?
A rough estimate of hull speed in knots is 1.34 times the square root of the length at the waterline in feet. The Catalina 22 has a 19 foot waterline, leading to an estimated hull speed of 5.8 knots
What speed was the Titanic at?
At the time of the collision, Titanic was travelling at about 22 1/2 knots.
What was the titanics top speed?
23-24 knots (43 km/h), or around 27 miles per hour.21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph) with a top speed of 23 knots (43 km/h; 26 mph)When hitting the iceberg it was going 22 knots21 knots (39 km/h; 24 mph), with a top speed of 23 knots (43 km/h; 26 mph).When hitting the iceberg, it was going 22 knots.The maximum speed of The Titanic was 23 knots. The Titanic was traveling at 22.5 knots when it collided with the iceberg.
How do you know how fast the Titanic was travelling?
21 (or 22) knots was standard at the time for her and any other vessel that could make that speed, like sister-ship Olympic. Even faster were Lusitania and Mauretania.
Who or what other than the iceberg would you say is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic?
The main thing that was responsible was the actions of those in charge of the ship. They were moving at a speed of 22 knots at night after receiving several warnings about ice.
How fast is 22 knots in mph?
22 knots = 25.3171479 mph
What is the cruising speed of Titanic?
It was traveling at 22 nautical miles per hour.It's top speed was 24 Knots, Which is about the same as 28 Mph (45kph) on land, But it never reached that speed on it's maiden voyage.This question can be taken two ways:What was the Titanic's top speed?The Titanic was designed to achieve a top speed of 24 knots (nautical miles per hour), which converts to 27.6 miles per hour and 44.4 kilometers per hour.Titanic's sea trials were cut short, so no maximum speed test was performed. On her maiden voyage, prior to striking the iceberg, Titanic made a speed of 22.5 knots (25.9 mph, 41.7 Km/h)How quickly did the Titanic sink?About 2 hours elapsed between the time the ship struck the iceberg (12:40 AM, 15 April 1912) and the time the ship disappeared beneath the waves of the north Atlantic Ocean (2:20 AM, 15 April 1912).Author Joseph Conrad once famously and laconically summed up the story of the Titanic this way: "We know what happened: The ship scraped her side against a piece of ice, then sank after floating for two hours and a half, taking a lot of people down with her."Titanic's top speed was 23 knots, the equivalent to 26.47 mph, but she hit the berg at 22 knots. (about 25 mph).When it hit the ice berg, it was going 22.5 knots.At full speed she could go up to23 knots.
