But some people survived and lived but it was a scary and horrible time for the people that survived and died.</a>
The captain was blamed by US senate inquirles because Captain Smith got a message that there is a large iceberg near the titanic but he was too fast and the titanic had a large propeller.
he was blamed for ignoring the message.
he wasn't the only one who got blamed, they also blamed the British Board for poor safety and inspection with only few life boats. Mostly, people died by hypothermia=freezing in the icy water

Where did they get the money from to build the Titanic?
Construction of Titanic was financed by the White Star Line, not JP Morgan who had a controlling interest.
Who saw the iceberg first from aboard Titanic?
The first official sighting of the iceberg (actually only a black mass blotting out stars) was that of Frederick Fleet the lookout, altho, since Officer Murdoch was lower down, he would have had MORE stars blocked and perhaps would have seen it first. Unfortunately, he did not survive to comment on this.
Is it true that the titanic was an unsinkable ship?
Obviously not, as it sank.
It probably would have been unsinkable for the amount of damage that the engineers had considered.
But the damage it took from hitting the iceberg was bigger than imagined, and down it went.
Titanic had several different water tight compartment, and would have kept afloat with several of them flooded. But the damage filled more compartments than expected, which sank the ship.
Obviously not, since she sent 1517 people to their deaths when she sank on 15th April 1912. A number of the watertight compartments designed to make Titanic 'unsinkable' were breached along the ship's length during a collision with an iceberg. This scenario had been overlooked by the designers, and Titanic was somewhat foolishly claimed to be unsinkable.

Is the iceberg stil there that the titanic hit?
Yes and no.
Thats why the Royal Sailing Society proposed that a great seawall be built around this menacing ice formation, so that passing ships could be protected from its vengeance.
This proposal ultimately died in parliament when representative Edwin Smith had called for a vote for a final decision as to whether or not to build the wall, but it turned out that no one knew where the iceberg was. In the thirty years that they had been discussing the motion, the iceberg had escaped the view of the observation boats sent to watch it.
This moved the threat level up to red and the iceberg was designated Sea Danger Supreme. To this day no one has managed to locate Sea Danger Supreme, and the ocean travel threat level has remained at red for all these years. Some speculators believe that the iceberg may have established a favorite hunting ground in the area now known as the Bermuda Triangle, where upwards of ten thousand ships have been lost to an unknown predator.
So to answer your question, the iceberg isn't still thereas in the original location of the titanic incident, but the iceberg is quite likely to still be out there somewhere... hunting to quell its unfathomable taste for boatsblood, which is what ships are made of.
Who owned the Titanic before it sank?

What time did the britannic sink?
It took 55 minutes for the great liner to sink after hitting a mine in the Mediterranean Sea. The reason for sinking so fast was the result of the nurses onboard, who kept the portholes open to keep injured soldiers ventilated, forgetting to shut the open windows resulted in faster flooding.
Can you buy something from the Titanic?
Theoretically, one can buy something from Titanic but it's virtually impossible. The current law says that everything salvaged can only be sold in ONE lump-sum together, which is worth more than most people can afford. Possibly James Cameron and Dr. Robert Ballard may collaborate on this.
Coal retrieved from the seabed, however, is considered NOT of Titanic and is therefore available.
That can be purchased in the gift-shops of the traveling "Titanic Exhibition"s, the Titanic museums in Pigeon Forge, TN, and Branson, MO, and maybe a few other places.

How long was the titanic meant to take?
If you mean how long the Titanic could go on a voyage to sea... The ship was limited by its coal carrying capacity of between 6611 and 7703 tons of coal. The average consumption of her engines was 825 tons per day, which means the Titanic could only go to sea for 9 days. But the ship was still on the water, and barring any mechanical problems or the need to update the engine room, Titanic could be on water for years.
There really wasn't an estimated service life for the Titanic; it would have been decommissioned when White Star Lines could afford a newer model. But judging from the life of Titanic's sister ship, the RMS Olympic, which was built in 1911, the ship would have been decommissioned and removed from service after about 23-24 years. The Olympic was taken out of service in 1935, partly because of lack of passenger traffic, partly because the ship was obsolete, and partly because White Star had merged with Cunard Lines and needed funding to build the Queen Mary.
