Titanic was constructed for luxury, nor for speed. She wasn't intended to be competitive in swiftness.

Why was the captain lord blamed for the titanic sinking?

The Commanding Officer of the Titanic was one Captain Edward Smith. Captain Lord was skipper of another ship which may or may not have been involved in a rescue effort. Then again Walter Lord was the author of the book ( A night to Remember,) about the Titanic disaster. I seem to recall Captain Lord commanded the S.S. Californian. It seems members of his crew saw distress flares fired by the Titanic- but assumed it was some kind of celebration- after all it was the Maiden Voyage of the ship- Maybe the radio operator did not attempt to make radio contact.. thick books are written on all aspects of this Titanic tragedy at sea!


Why did the Titanic be predicted to sink?

it wasnt it actually was considered unsinkable a person did predict that the titanic is going to sink. a ship called the titan sink 14 years earlier In the shipping journals of the day Titanic was described as virtually unsinkable but the press felt that unsinkable sounded so much better. The number of lifeboats provided was also considered since in the event of a major disaster there would be other ships nearby and the lifeboats would merely provide a shuttle service transferring passengers and crew to safety. This does seem to indicate that the White Star Line might not be certain of her unsinkable status.

What was first class tickets on the titanic?

The rooms were really luxurious and had marble toilets, as well as other things that were marble when they would be iron in third class. Lots more stewards and stewardesses were in first class than in second or third. First class also housed the Grand Staircase, which was mad of magnificent mahogony and had a big, wrought - iron and glass dome. The Titanic's first class was the main reason that the Titanic was called a "floating palace" - though it didn't seem to be a big ship on the water at all, just a palace!

Did nostradamus predict the titanic sinking?

Nostradamus did not specifically predict the sinking of the Titanic. Some interpretations of his quatrains, particularly those referencing disasters at sea, have been retroactively linked to the Titanic tragedy, but these claims lack concrete evidence. Nostradamus's writings are often vague and open to interpretation, which allows for various readings that can seem prescient in hindsight. However, there are no direct references to the Titanic in his work.

Why can't the people who answer my questions spell?

Spelling does not seem to be regarded as important anymore, and from what I have observed schools do not seem to be placing a high priority on it. There is a feature which identifies spelling errors, but it does not do so automatically, nor does it correct them. If you like, you may correct spelling on any answers you find.


Why does everything seem faster during the night than during the day?

Many things seem faster at night than during the day because of the amount of time we sleep. The average person sleeps seven hours and this moves quickly.


RNA polymerases are transcripted by which enzyme?

You seem confused. RNA polymerase is the enzyme that transcribes DNA into pre mRNA. So, the enzyme would transcribe the messenger RNA for its own protein construction.


Who nicknamed the Titanic unsinkable?

Actually, there was no one person who called the Titanic unsinkable: it was a combination of the owners and the ship-builder and the press who helped the ship's legend to grow. The White Star Line, the ship's owners, wanted to promote the ship's safety features and solid construction, unique for that era; the more they stressed how amazing the Titanic was, the more likely they would get good publicity and greater media attention. Newspaper articles from that time show that several White Star executives, including J. Bruce Ismay, told the press the Titanic was built in such a way that it would not sink; but while it may seem like splitting hairs, neither Ismay nor other White Star executives directly stated that the Titanic was unsinkable. Nor did the ship's builders, who tended to qualify the claim by explaining that the ship was "practically" or "almost" unsinkable. But the press took the claim the ship was built for safety and thus would be unlikely to sink, and soon removed the qualifiers. Reporters were impressed with the luxurious features of the Titanic, and they began reporting on it as the "unsinkable Titanic". (In fairness to the press, the White Star Line seemed pleased by the positive publicity and did not correct what the press wrote.) The headlines and mentions of the "unsinkable Titanic" became part of the story, very much like a nickname. But there was no one person who seems to have started it.
