Iceburgs are not a problem today because of radar and because transatlantic liners now travel a route further south that the one the Titanic sailed. Another reason they are not a problem today is because of what people think today ships slwo down so they don't hit ice. Around the time of the Titanic people thought the less time they were near ice the less chance they would hit it so they went normal speed.
The iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912 is no longer in the same location, as icebergs drift due to ocean currents and melting. It is likely that the iceberg has since broken apart or melted entirely, as icebergs have a limited lifespan. The precise location of that specific iceberg is unknown, but icebergs generally originate from Greenland's glaciers and can travel south into the North Atlantic. Today, the site of the Titanic's sinking is marked by a wreck site approximately 12,500 feet deep in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Yes, she was changed and a few feet were added before she set sail so it was longer then her sister ship the olympic and longer then any of the other liners at the time
The QE2 was longer than The Titanic.
Titanic__Nope, not the Titanic. The QE2 is 953ft and the Titanic was 882.75 ft. So QE2 wins by a nose.If you are interested in comparing the Titanic to other modern ships, check out the website "Comparing Titanic to Modern Ships".QE2
No. "Normandie" was about 120 feet longer than "Titanic", it was also almost twice as big as "Titanic" in tonnage.

The flight deck is wider, but the Titanic was 10 feet longer.

It was much longer than two whales.
Titanic was 269 metres longOasis of the Seas is 360 metres long

Most free icebergs (no longer attached to ice shelves or glaciers) will have melted within five years. There will still be ice cover on Greenland, Antarctica and high mountains in five years.
