Not very sophisticated by today's standards, but wireless radio communication in those days was as popular as the internet today. But not everyone had their own iPhone. Instead, Marconi radio operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride spent a great deal of time transmitting and receiving telegrams for the passengers.

If all the ships lifeboats were filled to capacity how many people could have been saved?

the capacity of the boats on Titanic was 1,178. 2,208 people were sailing her the night of the sinking. If all seats were occupied, then 1030 people would still be on Titanic (as opposed to the 1,496 that really were).


What could have been reduced to spelt the end of titanic?

The sinking of the Titanic could have been avoided with a combination of factors such as slower speeds in icy waters, improved lookout measures, and the use of binoculars. Additionally, better communication and response to iceberg warnings might have allowed the ship to change course in time. Finally, if the ship had been equipped with more lifeboats, more passengers could have been saved during the disaster.


How could more lives have been saved on titanic?

The Titanic could have been saved by another ship but the messager on that ship had gone to bed a few minutes before the titanic sent out the distress call.The Californian was the closest ship to the Titanic at the time of the sinking. There are accounts by Titanic officers that they could see her on the horizon, and could see her running lights. She had stopped for the night and her wireless operator had retired for the evening. Attempts to flash her via Morse lamp (these were located on the bridge's wing cabs, on both port and starboard sides, next to the red and green running lights) were unsuccessful, and she only learned of the terrible tragedy the next morning, when her marconi operator manned the set. To answer the question, had the Californian's wireless operator been awake at the time Titanic sent out distress calls, 1,500 people may not have lost their lives that day.


What happens if the Titanic survived?

maybe it would survived. if the titanic (if easier) went through the iceberg, instead of moving on the other side, it would have less water in it and it would be easier to close the water carpartments.

Could more people have been saved on titanic boats?

If there had been more lifeboats aboard the Titanic, then yes more people could have been saved. There was time and capacity to save more lives even with the original amount of lifeboats, but because of the lack obvious signs of damage and danger, many were reluctant to leave the boat to get on the much smaller lifeboats. The lifeboats were designed to hold 40 people, but many were launched only partly full.

Did the titanic think their was going to be any problems before the titanic left?

Superstitions are hard to codify but Titanic had a near-collision in Southampton and that could have been given importance in different ways. It could have been seen as getting any mishap out-of-the-way OR it could have been seen as a bad omen. Or if one wasn't superstitious at all, there would have been no portent of doom.
