Who Is To Blame For The Titanic Disaster

400 Words2 Pages

The Titanic’s maiden voyage was a disaster because the people didn’t prepare for things like this. Most ships go over a safety procedures, but the Titanic didn’t do such a thing. They only rescued wealthy people, which I felt was wrong. Some passengers jumped off the ship in desperation. Whoever drove the ship couldn’t have been paying attention. The people didn’t even consider slowing down due to the hard hit the Titanic took. There are a million reasons the Titanic was a disaster. The ship was going too fast because when it hit the iceberg, it came to a complete stop. There were not too many lifeboats. The lifeboats could accommodate only about 1,200 people. Six radio messages were received from other ships, but not all were passed

    Since the Titanic was considered to be utterly unsinkable, the need for safety equipment on board didn’t seem quite necessary to the White Star Line Vessel Company. Although the ship was built better than most ships today, it lacked the proper safety standard and the systems that are set up now, to keep from running into icebergs. About 2224 people embarked on the RMS Titanic and only around 800 survived. The number of lifeboats on Titanic could only fit a third of the ship’s total capacity and it fit only a little less than half of its passengers on its maiden voyage; not to mention the fact that the boats were on the First Class deck making it impossible for third class passengers to get to safety until they were finally allowed to go to the top deck only about an hour before the Titanic plunged into the ocean. Quoting Gardiner and Van der Vat, “The Line 's record before and after the most notorious disaster of them all is a unique catalogue of dubious or illegal business practice, recklessness, bad luck, accident and catastrophe.”

    One fatal fail the Titanic carried was that the Titanic only carried 16 boats and there were altogether 3,000 people. So even if the lifeboats were loaded to their full capacity, only one-third would be saved. The reason it sank was because of 15 watertight bulkheads that contained a flaw that had a critical factor in the Titanic. Even if they were watertight, water could still get in some other way or compartment.

    Thousands of people, around 2,200 people to be exact, bought tickets to the Titanic and they either bought first class if they were rich, middle class if they saved up or they just had a good amount of money, or third class which were mostly poor immigrants trying to start a good life in America or Canada.

The problem with this though was that “the watertight compartment design contained a flaw that was a critical factor in Titanic’s sinking: While the individual bulkheads were indeed watertight, the walls separating the bulkheads extended only a few feet above the waterline, so water could pour from one compartment into another, especially if the ship began to list or pitch forward.” Many people say that the ship was doomed from the start. On April 10th 1912, The Titanic set sail for Cherbourg, France and then to Queenstown, Ireland.
