because they that thought if they would hit it straight on it would do a lot of damage but they thought if they turned no damage would happend. not positive but i think so.
No. Upon learning that an iceberg was ahead, the captain ordered the crew to reverse the engines, and to steer to the side, but if he would have ordered to have the ship sped up instead, the ship would have most likely have missed the iceberg.
iceberg
it crashed into an iceberg and the ship sank
To damage the ship as it did, the iceberg was probably 50 times the mass of the ship or more, and iceberg ice can be too solid to shatter like ordinary ice.
The iceberg is denser than the ship because it is made of ice, which has a higher density than water. This causes the iceberg to displace more water and have a larger mass for its volume compared to the ship.
Well the Titanic hit an Iceberg but it was not a cruies ship.
An Iceberg... well its not an iceberg i think from watching the history channel nothing it was a curise ship not a pirate ship…………………
Not a person, an iceberg

Most definitely without a doubt, Titanic struck the stationary iceberg at about 25 mph.
