The designers, and owners of the ship such as owner Bruce Ismay. Maybe if the ship had a searchlight they could see obstacles at night, or in a fog. Sailing through the dark night, without a moon, they were blind as a bat, and an accident was unavoidable.

What is the famous ship titanic sank on it first voyage?
First, wow. The Titanic did NOT sink a ship and it only HAD one voyage. IT was the ship that was sunk! It sank at 2:20 AM. on April 15, 1912 because of several punctures in its hull below the waterline. This was caused by an iceberg that the crew failed to see until they were almost right on top of it. You may have been thinking of the suction it created ALMOST sank several ships BUT, they managed to pull away in time.

Why wasn't the titanic strong enough?
It's believed that some of the steel used during construction, especially rivets, was defective.
Also, the ship, was seen on Nat Geo TV, had a poorly designed gap point, which may or may not be true. Also, were as the first sentence is correct, the decided on using steel rivets number 3, a cheaper alternative to the recommended brand of number 2.
Addendum: The Titanic WAS strong, but no ship afloat was strong enough to NOT snap at the angle to which the Titanic's stern had risen (10-15 degrees from the surface). There are immense physical loads being placed upon a comparatively small portion of the ship's structure in that situation.
The flaws of Titanic were its insufficient complement of lifeboats, the slow and disorganized initial reaction of the crew and the decision to ignore numerous warnings from other ships in the area about pack ice in its path (some of which never even made it from the wireless room to the bridge). Icebergs are a danger no matter how strong the ship, with huge ocean liners at MORE risk, not less. The night she sank was also moonless and the sea calm-both of these conditions limited the ability of lookouts to spot ice (the advantage of moonlight is obvious, but turbulent water breaking against icebergs also helps to spot them). While White Star tried to cover up some facts about the sinking (such as the fact that the ship snapped in two), believing they may have built a weak ship, the truth is, they didn't need to-the ship itself was plenty strong.

When did Titanic win an Oscar?
Titanic (1997) won 11 Academy Awards at the 70th Academy Awards on Monday, March 23, 1998. Billy Crystal hosted the ceremony for the sixth time, and later received an Emmy award for his performance. Titanic dominated the evening, picking up 11 awards out of 14 nominations. The film tied All About Eve(1950) for the most overall nominations and Ben-Hur (1959) for the most wins. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) later matched the latter record. Due to the popularity of Titanic, which was still the #1 movie at the box office at the time, the Academy Awards earned its highest television ratings in history based on audience size (57.25 million).

How many people were on the titanic and how many lived?

It was certainly due to the weight of the flooded hull, but probably aggravated by very poor rivets and a likely design flaw regarding the expansion joints. The ship broke at the joint, which was heavily modified on the Britannic and reworked on the Olympic.
How could more lives have been saved on titanic?
The Titanic could have been saved by another ship but the messager on that ship had gone to bed a few minutes before the titanic sent out the distress call.
The Californian was the closest ship to the Titanic at the time of the sinking. There are accounts by Titanic officers that they could see her on the horizon, and could see her running lights. She had stopped for the night and her wireless operator had retired for the evening. Attempts to flash her via Morse lamp (these were located on the bridge's wing cabs, on both port and starboard sides, next to the red and green running lights) were unsuccessful, and she only learned of the terrible tragedy the next morning, when her marconi operator manned the set. To answer the question, had the Californian's wireless operator been awake at the time Titanic sent out distress calls, 1,500 people may not have lost their lives that day.
