Global warming didn’t happen quick enough to save those on the Titanic... Then again... The iceberg that sank it may still be lurking out there... They float off the coast of Newfoundland today just like they did in 1912.
It was Capitalism pure and simple. The Marconi operator didn’t deliver the last (and most serious) iceberg warning to the Captain, due to all the business deal telegrams that took precedent.
It. was. the. Salmon. Mousse.
And here I always thought it was iceberg.
Interesting...
My mother was 2 months old when the Titanic sank and so she heard the adults talk about the ship as she grew up...sometimes over the years there would be a discovery that there had been a relative or friend of a neighbor or family member on the ship and the stories would start up again...
I think my mother knew just about as much about the Titanic as one of the actual passengers...
That and the 2 world wars...how could I help but have an interest in history ???

The communications from Titanic to all points. Morse code.
Or maybe it was a UFO.
That is the most hairbrained thought I have read in a long time.
Nah Im pretty sure it was the iceberg.
“If Titanic’s compass error were only 0.5°, she would have been off her course for around 9 m over 1 km of the run. This apparently insignificant error could have made the difference between colliding with the iceberg and avoiding it...”
```
Of course there is no way to tell if the ship was on course because it sank ...
EVERYBODY knows it was HUBRIS that sunk the Titanic. (If not God Himself).
The stars could never again be so aligned as the night Titanic sunk.
Just coincidences? Seems very unlikely.
UNSINKABLE! And God said “oh yeah?”
Why do we need ANY lifeboats on an unsinkable ship?
A new myth from the climate wackos.
Around 15 years ago I read a book, “Titanic The Ship That Never Sank?” that raised some interesting questions about what went wrong. The author had the theory that it was actually that White Star swapped ships and that the Titanic was really the damaged Olympic. I believe that theory was debunked.
What was interesting is that at the court of inquiry various experienced captains knew there was some sort of coverup. One ship’s captain had made over 700 North Atlantic crossings wondered how the Hell they could hit an ice berg? He said one could literally smell them even when it’s pitch black. The accident was without precedent. A large ship had never struck and ice berg before and sank.
Growing up I remember hearing about the 300 ft tear in the hull of the Titanic and that was the ‘settled science’ until Robert Ballard discovered the wreck in 1985 and found there was no 300 foot gash. The next theory was that the steel of the ship was brittle and it cracked during the collision. The author favored the coal bunker fire theory; that the fire weakened the hull which led to the sinking.
The author raised other interesting points. When the Titanic collided with the ice berg no one felt it on the ship; it was a slight bump. At the 30 knots the Titanic was traveling the impact would have been like taking a broadside from a battle ship. The ice that fell on the deck was probably the ice that formed on the rigging. Still another point was that no one on deck saw an ice berg.
All interesting points among many others. I can’t confirm the veracity but I do agree with a prior poster than it was an error cascade that led to the disaster.
