They did not have binoculars. (reported later as lost, missing,or left behind in the UK)
a iceberg that the people on board didn't see
Because 80 percent of the iceberg was underwater and they thought they could go around it but they didnt see the part at the bottom and that what sank the ship

The lookouts on Titanic spotted the iceberg with less than forty seconds to impact.
The actual iceberg would have surely been dissolved in a few days that far south.
One or both of the lookouts saw the iceberg before collision, and the pilot tried to steer away, but the forward speed of the Titanic took it into the iceberg anyway, smashing in the hull on the starboard (right) side near the bow.
They coudn't see or hear the waves crashing on the iceberg .
the titanic crashed because the person on look out forgot his binoculars, by the time they could see it, it was to late. this is just one theory, but there are many others
Captain Smith did not see the iceberg on Titanic, he was in his quarters. He merged fully dressed so he had been resting, but not retired.
To see how the titanic was back then
Going to fast, ignoring the warnings of icebergs from other ships, not enough lookouts, on a dark night icebergs are difficult to see, you only see the water splashing at its waterline until you get very close.
Even though the captain received iceberg warnings, they thought that they would see the iceberg in time to turn away. But because of the ship's massive size and speed, it would not turn away from the iceberg in time.
