Actually, [i:f2fd7516e2]Titanic[/i:f2fd7516e2] or something similar was bound to happen, given the mindset of the times, etc. It happened when it did mostly because going into an ice field at full speed is not the brightest thing in the world to do - but because of the communications systems in place at the time, this wasn't widely known, as when you didn't come back, no one knew why.

There were a lot of "what ifs" and I think this is what keeps Titanic alive, so to speak. People still wonder after all this time "What if": The Captain slowed down, California came to investigate the flares, Ismay was not in a hurry to get to New York, more ships had marconi's apparatus and there were more lifeboats.
It is very sad it took this terrible tragedy to wake up ship builders |

That's an excellent point, Betty, and one I've never heard before - it keeps the ship alive in the imagination that way. Veerrry interesting.
