Best Answer

There was a last minute change in the officers who were charge of the Titanic when it sailed from England to the USA, and the officer who was in charge of the equipment, (absentmindedly) took the key to the storage locker with him when he left the ship in England. They couldn't find a replacement key and the lookouts were not issued any binoculars, even though White Star Lines official policy was that binoculars were supposed to given to lookouts. They only had a few binoculars, and these were given to the high ranking officers, not the lookouts.

Why did the titanc hit the ice berg?

What I hear happened was the Titanic had gotten massages about iceberg fields ahead but Capt. Smith still had the Titanic cruising along at maybe 24 knots, and it's highest was 25 knots. The men in the crows nest spotted the iceberg with only their eyes, and they rang the bell. The Titanic was turning and it seemed to not hit but it did. If the men in the crows nest had had binoculars, which were in a locked locker (because a crew member was put off the ship for another, and he by mistake took the key to the locker.) they could have spotted it quicker and therefore the Titanic would not have hit the iceberg which in fact was a blackberg.
