Why iceburgs cause danger to ships?

Answer 1

The night of the sinking, the waters were so calm that there wouldn't have been any breaking water visible at the iceberg's base, and the lookout crew members were missing their binoculars which didn't help at all. But if the Titanic wasn't going so fast, their chances of survival would have been really high for it could have survived a head-on collision

Answer 2

There's equipment such as radars and sonar imaging that can detect icebergs from a distance so there's enough time to avoid the iceberg and the captain can even determine which direction to turn

Answer 3

Floating icebergs are a serious danger to ships because ships could crash into it. As seen by the crash of the Titanic, the "unsinkable" ship that hit an iceberg and sunk, icebergs can easily send ships to the bottom of the ocean.

Moreover, most of the bulk of icebergs is below the water line. Since it takes bigger ships more time to turn, they may be dangerously close to the underwater portion of the iceberg even before the above-water part is spotted.

Answer 4

well, it can crash your ship and drown it

Look what happened to the Titanic!
