I assume the question is about the Titanic? Once the alarm was called it was already too late. The closeness of the iceberg, the total mass and high speed of the Titanic, meant that it would take a long time to carry out any avoidance manoeuvres.
Conspiracy theories aside, to the best of our knowledge the iceberg was not seen early enough to allow the crew to do so.
There wasn't much time to react once the iceberg had been spotted, and the ship's rudder was too small to effectively maneuver away.

If I Could Turn Back Time

If you collected enough ship parts, you blast off into the atmosphere. If not, you die and turn into a Pikmin.
The Titanic was going at 21 knots at the time and it was extremely cold out, calm seas though. As it got closer to the iceberg they pulled it full reverse (23 Knots back, really it just made the Titanic go faster). After that it smashed into the iceberg and the boiler rooms flooded.How it could have been avoided:Titanic is warned by nearby ships like the CalifornianTitanic slows to half speedCaptain closes watertight doors when iceberg spottedCrew turns the ship directly into the icebergCarpathia is morsed for CQD and SOSLifeboats are launchedOR:The ship could have also made it's way out of it, half speed with 2 compartments flooded and limping it's way to New York.
it took the titanic 24 hours to turn 90 degrees This is preposterous, it took 37 seconds to turn 2 points and according to the British Inquiry into the loss of the Titanic she could turn 360 degrees in 412 seconds or almost 7 minutes.
The copper plating upgrade in the game 'Sid Meier's Pirates!' increases the turning rate of your ship. This is helpful in battles when you need to turn your ship quickly to avoid an incoming barrage of enemy cannonballs.
With a rudder
yeah, maybe if you belive hard enough.
