An accident was narrowly averted as Titanic passed the moored liners SS City of New York and Oceanic. Her huge displacement caused both of the smaller ships to be lifted by a bulge of water, then dropped into a trough. New York's mooring cables could not take the sudden strain and snapped, swinging her around stern-first towards Titanic. A nearby tugboat, Vulcan, came to the rescue by taking New York under tow and Captain Smith ordered Titanic's engines to be put "full astern". The two ships avoided a collision by a matter of about 4 feet. The incident delayed Titanic's departure for about an hour while the drifting New York was brought under control.

How many puntures did the Titanic have?
I'm not so sure what the Titanic had would be referred to as punctures. There was a huge rip down the side. The rivets tore loose and laid a large portion of the ship open.
When the Titanic scraped against the Titanic what did it hit?
Well, it struck the first 5 "watertight" compartments, most likely creating a bunch of small holes by scraping agains the ship and causing bolts to come loose.
What happened to the New York as the Titanic departed?
The mass of the moving vessel caused a displacement so severe that the New York was torn loose, was dragged toward Titanic, and almost collided with her. Many sailors took this to be a bad omen.
What did they do with the Titanic when they found it?
Not much really. It's too deep, and by now too fragile to try to raise it. The took photos and film, retrieved some loose items, a piece of steel for analysis, and that's about it.
Was the whole titanic found?
Pretty much. Loose pieces, and fragments that broke off during the sinking has probably spread quite wide. But most of the ship ended up almost intact in one spot.
Why did so many Titanic passengers loose their life?
The captain of the titanic wanted to reach New York in record time, the captain decided to take a detour to try and achieve this goal, a iceberg was spotted as it was pitch black they could hardly see, and the engineers put the titanic into reverse gear which was a big mistake, if they kept at the same speed they could have avoided it and gotten closer to New York or atleast another ship. anyway... the titanic began to fill up with sea water as did the lifeboats with people, stranded in ice cold water for 4 hours, Man, woman and child lost their lives to the sea. No ships were in the radius of the Titanic, and it would've taken a long time to get out to them.
