History of running ships too fast through narrow passages.. and of not adequately training his officers Captain Smith was commissioned to command the Titanic Reference: ‘The Riddle of the Titanic’, Gardiner et. al. Orion, 1998
Titanic - Tragic Circumstances h
14th April 1912 • Smith received at least six warnings of Ice field from ships at dead stop in the area • No binoculars in the crow’s nest meant that early warning was near impossible • Titanic sped toward ice field at 22.5 knots vs. a recommended 10 knots in such conditions
h
Motivations for this speed • Desire to break the transatlantic speed record as encouraged by J. Bruce Ismay MD of White Star who was on board for the maiden voyage
Reference: ‘The Riddle of the Titanic’, Gardiner et. al. Orion, 1998
h
Safety Response Capability • Lifeboats on the ship had been reduced from sixty-four boats to twenty-two in lieu of more expansive promenades • The officers on board The Titanic had not trained with the lifeboats and were unsure of their holding capacity • There was not a standing safety-response plan.. the ‘Women and Children first’ response was a reaction more than a previously-agreed plan.
The Results h Lives Saved: h Lives Lost: h h
Total passengers Max Lifeboat Capacity
h
It wasn’t until 45 minutes after the collision that officers commenced preparing the lifeboats Twenty lifeboats were launched Officers feared that the ship’s davits & winches would not hold the weight of the recommended 70 people All but the last few lifeboats floated were half-filled It is a fact that had the Officers filled the lifeboats per their specification an additional 600+ people could have been saved.
