Very little because until then, no major vessel had been sunken by ice. There were a few after Titanic but the last one was the Hans Hedtoft in 1959.
Icebergs have been naturally occurring longer than there have been humans. So the first human to see an iceberg was simply the first human that made it far enough north into the natural range of icebergs. And that's too far back in history for us who know who it was.
A gangway is a movable bridge or ramp used by passengers to board or disembark from a ship. An accommodation ladder is a type of gangway that is typically used by crew members for accessing or leaving a vessel when docked.
There was no actual answer for this question but it seem the crew forgot to bring the binoculars aboard with them. any more question about Titanic please E-mail me: iamevanwang@gmail.com thank you!
The worst maritime disaster in 1912 was the sinking of the R.M.S Titanic in the early morning of April 15, 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean on its way to New York City, US from Southampton, UK. Over 1,500 lives were lost.
Hi, what is the cabin Alt warning Alarm in Fokker 100.?
People up top say it sounded like going over a million marbles, a dull and creaky thud. People below heard it quite loudly, like a gash.
2,200 passengers and crew set out on the Titanic, four days later the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank. 1500 people died and 700 survived.
1,496 passengers and Crew perished on the Titanic
Most passengers had no idea of the extent of the damage, and were reassured by the crew as well that nothing was out of the ordinary. However, as you can imagine, the ship broke out in chaos once the danger was realized.
Most of the crew did not know what was happening. There was no communication between the boiler room (Where the iceberg did the damage) to the engine room. Also there was no alarm to tell the passengers there was a problem. So most of the passengers thought it was nothing more then a drill. I believe they found out it was not a drill when the crew lowered the life boats into the water.
Of the 2,208 people, 891 were crew and 1,317 were passengers. or 2/5.
There is one crew member for every two passengers. Our boat had 2000 passengers and 955 crew.
They hit it, at speed. Cracked their hull open. Flooded enough of the ship to lose buoyancy and sink. Causing most of the passengers and crew to drown or freeze to death.
On November 24, 2007 the MS Explorer hit an iceberg off of Antarctica. The crew and passengers were rescued safely by another ship. I'm sure that there were others that had hit and sunk due to icebergs but may have not been recorded or known about.
by the time they saw the iceberg they had no time to turn out of the way
696 crew members and 818 passengers were lost
The number of crew members depends on the number of passengers. A favorable ratio is about one crew member for every two passengers to every two and one-half passengers.
