The lookouts on the Titanic are not solely to blame for the ship's sinking. While it is true that they failed to spot the iceberg in time to avoid a collision, there were multiple factors that contributed to the disaster, including the captain's decision to maintain a high speed in icy waters, inadequate safety measures such as not providing enough lifeboats for all passengers, and a lack of clear communication between the crew members. Blaming the lookouts alone oversimplifies the complex series of events that led to the Titanic tragedy.
