Why did the titanc hit the ice berg?

Answer 1

What I hear happened was the Titanic had gotten massages about iceberg fields ahead but Capt. Smith still had the Titanic cruising along at maybe 24 knots, and it's highest was 25 knots. The men in the crows nest spotted the iceberg with only their eyes, and they rang the bell. The Titanic was turning and it seemed to not hit but it did. If the men in the crows nest had had binoculars, which were in a locked locker (because a crew member was put off the ship for another, and he by mistake took the key to the locker.) they could have spotted it quicker and therefore the Titanic would not have hit the iceberg which in fact was a blackberg.

Answer 2

Because the captain wasn't looking where he was going :P

Answer 3

The Titanic hit the iceberg at the right side of the ship. It kinda skimmed it and tore a thin and narrow hole. With a lot of other holes around it.
