∙ 12y agoIt was notable primarily for the great loss of life. Early 20th century shipbuilders were confident that they could build ever larger vessels without sacrificing speed or safety. Before the advent of air travel, ships were a primary mode of transportation, and the only method of intercontinental transportation.
The sinking of the Titanic brought about changes in construction techniques, but more especially in maritime safety. These included better ship design, a greater emphasis on tracking ice flow through the Atlantic, and improvements in the number and types of lifeboats aboard passenger ships.
