The Titanic never sailed anywhere near Crete, which is in the Mediterranean. It hit the famous iceberg in the Atlantic near Newfoundland. because it was too close to the rocks and it got ripped up and then it split and it sank! ps there are no rocks in the Atlantic in that area.

The island nation of Crete is in the Mediterranean Sea which is not associated with icebergs and was never sailed on by Titanic.

The rescue ship, Carpathia, however, WAS headed for the Mediterranean.

Captain Smith tried to avoid ice by traveling further south than the normal crossing route, but there were both more icebregs than usual and currents were also sending icebergs further south. Hence, that is why the Titanic struck an iceberg and is now sitting on the bottom of The North Atlantic Ocean.
