Lights,
Wasn't it also because there were not any lifeboat drills and therefore the crew was not aware of the capabilities of the lifeboats. I read Captain Smith was suppose to have one but opted instead to have Sunday services and maybe this one little thing could have saved some more lives? Betty |

Good question, Lee. I imagine it was because he honestly did not know about the weight tests on boats and gear at Harland and Wolff. I do know that on old davit systems, excessive weight was a big concern. I also think that until very late in the game, he was convinced that the ship wouldn't sink.

OK, so why do you think he let all those lifeboats go half-illed?
