| Titanic: speed is important
|
|
|
Factor: Sister ship ''Olympic'' and maiden voyage record
The Titanic shall cross the Atlantic faster than the sister ship ''Olympic'' one year before.
|
| Titanic disaster: Ignore warnings
|
|
|
Factor: Private telegrams - overloaded radio operators - the officers are laughing at the ice warnings of other ships
|
| Titanic: Factor: Full speed despite the ice-field
|
|
|
Despite of all warnings the speed of the Titanic is not reduced. Thereby the Titanic is amidst the ice-field already and the officers know about it.
|
| Last warning to the Titanic
|
|
|
Factor:
Also the last ice warning from the ship ''California'' is not passed to the bridge - the captain goes sleeping...
|
| Titanic full ahead in dark night
|
|
|
Factor: Missing binoculars - dark night - and full speed ahead yet. On the bridge of the Titanic two officers are looking for icebergs, without binoculars, because they do not know where they are.
