What is the maximum speed of the titanic?
The maximum speed capability of the Titanic was 23 knots. The Titanic hit was moving at 22.5 knots at the time it hit the iceberg.
Titanic's top speed was 23 knots, the equivalent to 26.47 mph.
She hit the berg at 22 knots. (maybe less than 25 mph)
Did the speed contribute to the disaster of the titanic?
Yes, it did. The common response procedure to collision at the time was to put the engines on reverse, slow the ship down, and try turning. However, after slowing down, the Titanic lost its momentum from speed. This was an important factor in the crash. If the Titanic had continued at a high speed and turned away from the iceberg like that, the momentum provided by the speed would help swing the Titanic away from the icerberg. Going slower led to turning slower, so the ship crashed.

The RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by the White Star Line and was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland (now Northern Ireland). At the time of her construction, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world.
Four days into the Titanic's maiden voyage, on 14 April 1912 shortly before midnight, the ship struck an iceberg, sinking early on 15 April 1912, two hours and forty minutes later. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 of the 2,223 people on board, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship did not carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. The ship had a total lifeboat capacity of 1,178 people, although her maximum capacity was 3,547. A disproportionate number of men died due to the women and children first protocol that was followed.
The Titanic was designed by some of the most experienced engineers, and used some of the most advanced technologies available at the time. It was a great shock to many that, despite the extensive safety features, the Titanic sank. The frenzy on the part of the media about the Titanic's famous victims, the legends about the sinking, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck have contributed to the interest in the Titanic.

The lookouts did not have binoculars, either because they could not be located or because the key to their storage locker was with an officer not on board.
