  • seal the tops of the water tight compartments.
  • not trying to set speed record for crossing.

Was titanic sank because of charpy v-notch test was not done?

It is unlikely that an impact test of the metals used in the Titanic was responsible for it's sinking. Had the test been done and it's impact resistance been proved, the problems of designing a liner which could travel at 20 knots into a solid lump of ice with a mass of millions of tonnes would be impracticable. The most obvious cause of the sinking rests with the water tight compartments which were not sealed at the top allowing water from the puncture in the skin to flow over into the next water tight enclosure slowly dragging the vessel under.

What could Titanic's captain done for the Titanic not to sink?

Despite common rumor, not much. If he had gone slower, yes they would have noticed it from farther away, but it would have been harder to turn it away from the iceberg! And no, he was not going the fastest Titanic was expected to go. Titanic was never run at its highest speed, it never got the chance. They were expecting to hit top speed the next day. And ramming into it head first would have saved it from sinking (probably), but it would have killed everyone working in the front of the ship.


How many rivets were broke by the ice-berg on titanic?

That is not known for certain, at the time of the sinking the crew had other priorities than rivet counting. The wreck was heavily damaged when it impacted on the bottom an has been down there for many years now; so it is impossible to know what damage was caused by the iceberg, what was done by the sea floor, and what has been done by corrosion since then.


Why was the captain lord blamed for the titanic sinking?

The Commanding Officer of the Titanic was one Captain Edward Smith. Captain Lord was skipper of another ship which may or may not have been involved in a rescue effort. Then again Walter Lord was the author of the book ( A night to Remember,) about the Titanic disaster. I seem to recall Captain Lord commanded the S.S. Californian. It seems members of his crew saw distress flares fired by the Titanic- but assumed it was some kind of celebration- after all it was the Maiden Voyage of the ship- Maybe the radio operator did not attempt to make radio contact.. thick books are written on all aspects of this Titanic tragedy at sea!


What changes did the US investigators recommend for sea travel once the inquiry into Titanic's sinking was complete?

Once the inquiry into Titanic's sinking was complete, several changes were recommended for sea travel. Some changes include monitoring of wireless telegraphs done 24-hours-a-day, enough lifeboats were made available for ALL passengers, and the International Ice Patrol was founded to track potentially harmful icebergs.

Was the Titanic a conspiricy?

No, of course not. Some people like to pretend that Titanic and Olympic changed places so that Olympic could be sunk on purpose. But remodeling and renewing Olympic to pass as Titanic would be a tremendous job, and messing up Titanic to pass as the slightly older Olympic would be utterly ridiculous. A perfect job would have to be done... remember, a lot of rich folks knew Olympic, and could easily tell her and the brand-new Titanic apart. It is also a good idea to remember that insurance fraud by sinking a ship on purpose, was and is an extremely major crime, as is mass murder. The fact that a large number of the people they would be murdering were rich, and their relatives would want to get even, should be taken into account. Even if there had been a conspiracy, and it was somehow successful, the reputation of the White Star Line would be destroyed, which actually happened. They had to sell out to Cunard.


Where there any mechanical problems with the titanic?

No- technically she was working perfectly, and no technical problems played any part in her sinking, it was entirely due to the iceberg collision. In fact, her pumps worked so well that they actually delayed her sinking by at least half an hour, enabling more people to get of saely than would otherwise have done.
