Can people visit the cemetery where people from titanic are buried?

What was the main reason for the large number of deaths on the titanic?
There are several events that caused the mass deaths on the Titanic. 1) Captain Smith ordered the Titanic to travel "full steam ahead", which means at full speed, while they were in an extremely dangerous ice-field. By doing this, Captain Smith ignored rules which prohibited ships from travelling above a certain speed in ice-fields. Because the ship was travelling so fast, it would have been a lot more difficult for the look-out crew to assess whether the ship was heading into the path of a dangerous iceberg. The fast speed also meant that the ship had less time to react and avoid any icebergs. Captain Smith committed suicide on the sinking ship, to avoid criminal charges for breaking the rules. 2) Other ships that noticed the Titanic was travelling too fast, sent wireless (Morse Code) messages to the Titanic warning them to slow down because they were about to enter a dangerous part of the ice-field. The wireless operators on the Titanic did pass these messages onto the Captain. But Captain Smith decided to ignore them. 3) Officer Murdoch, who was commandeering the bridge while Captain Smith was sleeping, made the wrong decision. He ordered the ship to turn to the right, away from the iceberg, but the ship was moving too fast to turn quick enough. This is why the iceberg managed to breach the hull. Instead, he should have ordered the ship to slow down to a stop (by dampening out the coal-engines) and slowly hit the iceberg head-on. This would have just caused denting/crushing damage to the sharp-front of the ship (called the ships "Prow"). If the ship hit the iceberg head-on in this method, it might not have sunk. The ship would have been trapped, but at least lives would have been saved. 4) When the Titanic hit the iceberg, the crew didn't think there was anything to worry about. Titanic was supposedly built using "new ship technology" at the time, and was classed "un-skinkable". For this reason, no emergency plan was made for a while. The ship was designed so that if the hull was ever breached, then they would simply just lock down that part of the ship by means of electronic doors to keep the water from spreading. However, an incredibly major flaw in the ships design meant that the more water that was "trapped" inside the ship, the heavier the ship was getting. The heavier the ship got, the quicker it sunk. As it sunk, more and more water flooded into the ship. 5) Recently, modern-day Titanic investigators have discovered that the Titanic was built incorrectly. The metal plating on a ship in those times was bolted together with huge, extremely strong bolts that could withstand pressure, temperature and force. However, it has recently been discovered by Titanic investigators that the company ordered the WRONG bolts for the ship. But they used them anyway. These cheaper bolts fitted into the Titanic's metal-plated hull were not very strong. Modern investigators found records that had been hidden by the company that built the Titanic, proving that the bolts used were not the right type. Amongst the records were also complaints from the workers building the ship complaining that the bolts kept snapping or bending when the hull was being built. The company ignored the complaints. Therefore, when the Titanic hit the iceberg, the hull stripped away like a hot knife in butter. And later as the ship began to submerge underwater, it snapped in half because of the lack of structural support. This helped the ship to sink even faster. 6) There were not enough lifeboats. The ship was bigger than any other ship before, therefore the out-dated regulations didn't state the correct amount of lifeboats the ship needed to have. Also, before the Titanic set sail, the owners REMOVED half of the lifeboats, because they were concerned about them making the ship look ugly or spoiling the views for the rich people on board. 7) Concerning the lifeboats again, the rich people on the Titanic got first picks of the lifeboats. While the poorer passengers were kept below deck, the rich were making their escape from the sinking ship. There were far more poorer people on board than rich. Many of the lifeboats were not even full when they were released into the sea. The Captain of the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors, the Carpathia, noted in his ships logs that some of Titanic's lifeboats only had about 15-30 people in them; The lifeboats were designed to carry 65 people (63 passengers and 2 crew to accommodate the passengers). 8) There was no officially recognised distress call back in those days. Nowadays, the international distress signal is "SOS", because it's the easiest combination of letters to send in Morse Code. Back in the Titanic day, there was no official, internationally-recognised distress signal. 9) While the Titanic was sinking, the nearest ship to them was the Californian. However, the wireless operator on the Californian was asleep, and there was nobody on board assigned to replace him, therefore the Californian did not hear the Titanic's pleas for help. After midnight, the crew of the Californian saw distress flares being set off by the Titanic, and woke up their Captain. However, the Captain of the Californian dismissed them as fireworks and refused to wake up his wireless operator to contact the Titanic. 10) The second nearest ship, the Carpathia heard the distress signals and also tried to contact the Californian, but they couldn't get an answer either. Even though the Carpathia was already racing towards the Titanic at full speed to rescue them, they wouldn't arrive until the morning because they were so far away AND had to navigate through the dangerous icebergs to avoid sinking themselves. If the Californian had responded to either the Titanic or the Carpathia, many more lives would have been saved. 11) The water was absolutely freezing. If you didn't drown, then you most likely froze to death. In extremely freezing ice-water, the body can only survive a matter of minutes before blood circulation freezes in your veins and heart, starving the brain of oxygen. 12) Poorly designed life jackets. The life jackets on the Titanic was simply 4 square pieces of cork sewn inside a cotton vest. After a while in the water, cork is like a sponge and begins to absorb water, making the wearer heavier and more likely to drown. Cotton also absorbs water and would make the wearer heavier. There were 2,223 passengers and crew on board. 1,517 of them died. 706 survived.
How did the captain of carpathia help titanic?
Capt. Arthur H. Rostron of the Carpathia is one of the true heroes of the Titanic disaster. Although he was only 43 at the time, Capt. Rostron had been a seaman for over 25 years. He had been a skipper for only two years, and at the helm of the Cunard steamer RMS Carpathia for just two months. When the Titanic's distress call came through, the Carpathia was 58 miles away. Capt. Rostron was asleep, and when his wireless operator and 1st Officer woke him to tell him the news, he asked if they were certain it was the Titanic that was in danger. Once assured of this, he drew up a detailed plan of action immediately. Rostron redrew the ship's course to get her there are quickly as possible, concluding that with luck and planning, the Carpathia could arrive at the Titanic's location in about 3 1/2 hours. He ordered the heat in the cabins and hot water be turned off to conserve steam, and that all the lights on the ship be ablaze so that the Titanic could see them. All crew members were awakened and put to work readying the ship's own lifeboats. They gathered blankets, rugs, chairs and prepared unoccupied cabins for use by Titanic survivors. The Carpathia's passengers were puzzled by all the comings and goings in the middle of the night, but once they were assured their own ship was not in danger and that it was heading toward a vessel which was, many of them helped the crew in its preparations. Rostron also alerted the ship's doctor to be prepared to treat hypothermia, shock and physical injuries. He ordered the galleys and saloons to have hot beverages, food and spirits laid out. Crew members were enlisted to note the names of and all pertinent details about the survivors once they came aboard -- hometowns, ages, which ship's class they had been traveling in, relatives, next of kin and so on. Thus a relatively accurate picture of the Titanic's final hours began to take shape quite quickly. The Carpathia reached a top speed of 17 knots on its way to the Titanic, very fast for a ship of its size and class. The Titanic continued to send out wireless signals until 2:10 a.m., just 10 minutes before the sinking, and its wireless operators advised the ship's officers that the Carpathia was on its way. It came within view of the lifeboats at 3:30 a.m., but Rostron had to slow down considerably at times to navigate the enormous field of ice surrounding the Titanic's last given coordinates. Once on the scene, Capt. Rostron, his crew and passengers were dismayed to see that the Titanic truly had gone down, and that all that remained of her was a tiny convoy of open boats, stretched across several miles of bitter cold, choppy seas. After some discussion about where to deliver the survivors, it was decided to take them to their intended destination of New York. The journey would take another 3 1/2 days, and the official silence from the ship during that time was maddening and frustrating. But one of the many kindnesses and considerations Capt. Arthur H. Roston showed his unexpected passengers was 24-hour access to the ship's wireless service. No messages other than those to and from the Titanic survivors and Carpathia passengers whose travel plans had been upended, were exchanged until the ship docked in New York Harbor. For his conspicuous bravery, Capt. Rostron received numerous commendations, awards and decorations on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US he received a Congressional Gold Medal. He received Knighthood in his home country of the UK in 1919, and he retired in 1931 as Commodore of the Cunard Shipping Line. He died in 1940.
What could have been done to prevent the collison of the Titanic?
Not much. The lack of lifeboats has been scapegoated for loss but the final one was launched only as the great ship sunk from under, being effectively floated off so more boats would not have much more of a difference. However, based on evidence revealed in 2017 there is a suspicion (on record as well) that there was a fire in the coal store prior to the departure. This was still burning and based on photographs and witness testimony not originally revealed in the post incident inquest the area of the fire was the same as the damage found leading to the water accessing the boiler room. This could have weakened the inner and outer hull and due to the heat softened the rivets
Why weren't more life boats put on the Titanic?
Regulations at the time did not require ships to be equipped with enough lifeboats to carry all passengers. The lifeboats were typically used to ferry passengers from a ship in distress to a rescuing ship. The Titanic had actually carried more lifeboats than what regulations required, but still only able to accomodate half the passengers. The White Star Line also didn't want more boats, as they felt it made the decks look too cluttered and it obstructed the view for the passengers.
When will Titanic 2 be a movie?
There are no plans to make a sequel to Titanic. The ship has sunk, so there is no way to continue the story. I repeat: no one is making a sequel to Titanic. Ever.hes right theres no point in making one either, unless its in the view of someone else whch would be cool, but nah, the stories been told, hope i could help

Why did people not want to get into life boats in the Titanic?
Titanic was equipped with only 20 lifeboats. She had 14 regular lifeboats with a capacity of 65 people each, 2 emergency lifeboats (Boats 1 and 2, which were stowed in the swung-out position) with a capacity of 40 each, and 4 Englehardt collapsible lifeboats with a capacity of 47 each. The collapsibles had wooden hulls, but with canvas sides that could be cranked up when needed. Collapsibles C and D were stowed inboard of Boats 1 and 2 at the very forward part of the Boat Deck and Collapsibles A and B were stowed upside down on the roof of the Officers' Quarters on either side of #1 funnel.There were 2228 passengers on the Titanic. Probably life boats were not made because people believed the ship was unsinkable and also because they wanted to make as much money as possible, so whoever could pay was cramped into the steerage.AnswerThere were 2,227 people on board, but the total capacity of the 16 lifeboats and 4 collapsible boats was 1,178 people, which was only sufficient for 52% of the passengers.There was a lack of lifeboats because of:Outdated maritime safety regulations : British Board of Trade laws stated that ships weighing more than 10,000 tons must carry at least 16 lifeboats with a capacity of 5,500 cubic feet - These regulations were based on the world's then-largest ship in 1890s.The total lifeboats of a ship were determined by the volume of the ship, i.e. the ship's GRT (Gross Registered Tons) and not by the total number of passengers and crew the ship could carry.the White Star Line's wish to leave the decks unobstructed so that the passengers could have better views,the White Star Line's wish to give the ship more aesthetics from an exterior view (for another example, the Titanic had 4 funnels, but the fourth funnel was a dummy which was added because "it made the ship look better.")the belief that in an emergency, Titanic's design would enable her to stay afloat long enough for her passengers and crew to be transferred safely to a rescue vessel.Never anticipating that everyone would have to be evacuated rapidly at the same time.
