  1. 1906 was the prototype. 1917 was the first working SONAR.

  2. They did. The iceberg that sank Titanic was further south than thought possible.

  3.  @PinkyakaAJ  you misunderstood. I'm not at all arguing that it could hold more lifeboats. It certainly could. But lifeboats were based on the tonnage of a ship, and Titanic actually had more lifeboats than was legally required.

  4. Can we stop pushing this false narrative of 3rd class not being allowed in lifeboats by 1st class and that the crew were incompotent arrogant assholes?

  5. There are plenty of testimonial evidence stating that the band did indeed play as the ship was sinking and the lifeboats were being launched.
    2
  6.  @Fearzero  And there are also survivor testimony that speak the opposite. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

  7. More lifeboats would not have saved more people. They couldn't even fill the ones they had.

  8.  @jamesflake6601  Just use Google.

  9. No evidence for this. Makes even less sense when one of those to eliminate was openly in favor of the Federal Reserve.

  10.  @blackkitty420  If there is no evidence of this ever being said, then to state that it was is a claim that requires proof. Since no proof exists, the honest thing to do is to reject this statement.

  11.  @blackkitty420  The main one is encyclopedia titanica. That quote is attributed to a news magazine about Ismay calling Titanic "practically unsinkable." But no where in any historic records, nor from first eye witnesses was those words ever spoken. If there's no evidence for that quote, why on Earth would anyone believe it? It's just a way for the hyper religious to say Titanic's fate was because "God was mocked", which is outright disrespectful.

  12.  @blackkitty420  I perhaps should have stated better that I do not believe it was said. In reality, I wasn't there and I do not know. All I know is that there is no evidence for this quote, and it has been used to be absolutely awful to the victims.

  13. JP Morgan was never scheduled to sail on Titanic. He was in Paris at the time.

  14. ​ @Tozzpot500 Wasn't even that. JP Morgan was never set to sail on Titanic. He was in Paris at the time.

  15.  @Tozzpot500  Anything for people not to face reality huh?

  16.  @Tozzpot500  I almost pity them to be honest. The cognitive dissonance is so strong.

  17.  @Goofydownrange  Why do you think Ismay went? Because Morgan knew he couldn't go. There is 0 record of JP Morgan ever purchasing and/or discussing sailing on Titanic. He knew months in advance he was not going to make her maiden voyage. Having a feeling about why a person made a decision means nothing.

  18.  @Goofydownrange  No worries for what exactly?

  19.  @DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY  Bullshit. It was JUST an accident.
    1
  20.  @DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY  How?
    1
  21. Take into account that some of the lifeboats left half full because passengers refused to board them.
    1
  22. Nobody said she couldn't sink.
    1
  23. Because they wrote and told stories about what they witnessed.

  24. One, it's *Olympic*. You can't even get the names of the ships right. Two, no. Your conspiracies are stupid.
    1
  25.  @heyjude57  The ship was never called the Olympia. It was the Olympic, Titanic, and the Gigantic (eventually renamed to Brittanic) Never insulted you. I said the conspiracy is stupid. Because it is.

  26.  @anthonyromeo1988  Titanic never hit her top speed during her maiden voyage, so no. She wasn't going "full speed." Smith, by this point, had already taken her farther south and out of the known ice fields at the time. The iceberg that sank Titanic was never expected because of how far south they were.

  27. No, hypothermia is/can be a pretty painful process.

  28. The water was so cold, you would not have been able ti swim to a lifeboat
    1
  29. This is untrue. Coal fires were quite common and the fire was out out days before she reached the iceburg.

  30.  @Lebowski333  I hope you are joking.

  31. Except that never happened...

  32. That was because of the iceberg damage, not because of the compartments. They were watertight, until the rivets buckled. An iceberg sunk this ship

  33.  @adamirishconundrum851  That was never said

  34. It was common to continue at pace unless vision impaired. Binoculars also would not have helped.

  35. Risked capsizing.

  36. ​ @nikosatsaves3141 You're thinking of the Lusitania.

  37. She also wouldn't have sank if she hadn't gone full stop. Or if she hadn't tried to turn out of the way. Hubris doesn't play as much of a roll as you think.

  38.  @pedrovillafan  You are such an idiot.

  39. Nobody but newspapers and magazines called her unsinkable. The closest you get is one designer calling her "practically unsinkable." More lifeboats would not have helped. Titanic had 4 more lifeboats then were legally required and didn't have enough time to launch the ones they did have. Please do some real research.

  40. A deck that forms the roof of a cabin built in the rear, or "aft", part of the superstructure of a ship.

  41. No, they wouldn't have been saved. In fact, Mythbusters tested this. Buyoancy would have still kept most people in the water, which would have subjected them to hypothermia. Those doors may have supported children, bust most adults would have been out of luck.

  42. @anthonyromeo1988  Then you're being extremely unrealistic.

  43.  @JayKarpwick  Ahh. I love 4 a.m. spelling. Thank you
    1
  44.  @vanillacreem816  There is literally no mention of Smith ever saying that. Simply google it. No, there were more lifeboats than required, because in 1912, lifeboats were based on tonnage of the ship, not passenger count.

  45. He didn't ignore the ice warnings. He told the lookouts to carefully watch for bergs, and took the ship farther south in order to avoid areas of large ice. Lord also didn't ignore the rockets. He was just unsure of what they were. They were neither the right color, nor fired at the right intervals to indicate distress. Californian couldn't have done anything anyway. Do some actual research before you spout nonsense.

  46. 1. Because they were too far away from the iceberg and 2. That's not at all how icebergs work.

  47. "God himself cannot sink this ship" is an entirely ficticious line.
    1
  48. Titanic had 16 watertight compartments, more than any other ship of her time.
    1
  49. That's because in 1912, lifeboats was based on tonnage, not passengers capacity.

  50. This is a myth.
