Conspiracy theories aside, to the best of our knowledge the iceberg was not seen early enough to allow the crew to do so.

Why could the Titanic not turn quickly from sinking?

Titanic had good turning capability. She was only compromised because she only had about thirty seconds to do it.


How long would it take for the titanic to turn?

it took the titanic 24 hours to turn 90 degrees This is preposterous, it took 37 seconds to turn 2 points and according to the British Inquiry into the loss of the Titanic she could turn 360 degrees in 412 seconds or almost 7 minutes.


Why could the titanic not turn fast enough?

The Titanic was going at 21 knots at the time and it was extremely cold out, calm seas though. As it got closer to the iceberg they pulled it full reverse (23 Knots back, really it just made the Titanic go faster). After that it smashed into the iceberg and the boiler rooms flooded.How it could have been avoided:Titanic is warned by nearby ships like the CalifornianTitanic slows to half speedCaptain closes watertight doors when iceberg spottedCrew turns the ship directly into the icebergCarpathia is morsed for CQD and SOSLifeboats are launchedOR:The ship could have also made it's way out of it, half speed with 2 compartments flooded and limping it's way to New York.


How a ship turns?

I assume the question is about the Titanic? Once the alarm was called it was already too late. The closeness of the iceberg, the total mass and high speed of the Titanic, meant that it would take a long time to carry out any avoidance manoeuvres.


Why did the Titanic sink and it was made not too?

The titanic was hit by an iceberg. The boat was so large that it didn't have enough time to turn around and avoid it. It was a flaw that the creaters overlooked and was not meant to happen.

There wasn't much time to react once the iceberg had been spotted, and the ship's rudder was too small to effectively maneuver away.

Did Americans or British own built the Titanic?

JP Morgan was an American financier who had a controlling interest in the IMM: the International Mercantile Marine. This was a consortium of shipping interests that owned, among other things, the White Star Line, which in turn owned Titanic. As a foreigner, JP Morgan could not directly own Titanic, but he could own the COMPANY that owned Titanic.
