How many binoculars were there on Titanic?
It is debatable whether or not the disaster would have been prevented with binoculars. The surviving lookout claimed during the investigation that they would have seen the iceberg in time to avoid it. However, this is nothing more than the claims of a crew member who was under investigation and afraid of prosecution. Many experts suggest that binoculars would not have helped as it was a moonless night. In such darkness, icebergs can only be seen by the water breaking over them. But on this night the sea was extremely calm. So while they MAY have seen it sooner, they may not have. In fact, they may have seen it later since binoculars limit your field of vision. Of course, had they seen it a few seconds later, Titanic likely wouldn't have sank either. Because rather than hitting the iceberg broadside and popping rivets along the side, it would have been a more head on collision, which would have caused many more injuries, maybe even some deaths, on impact, but would not have flooded enough compartments to sink the ship. There has been at least one case of a ship intentionally steering into an iceberg and slowly limping into its intended port, badly damaged but with all passengers safe.
