Yes, after we review things and other alternatives, NOW we see what could or should have been done. He was taught to AVOID the ice, not crash into it head on.

I agree that if he had hit face on it would've like avioded a lot. but uhm, the thing is you know it happened so fast, and the lookouts didn't have the proper equipment, so that was a bust =/

murdock was only doing what he thought was safe as in the 19 centuary ship captains and officers were to steam as fast throw a ice field as the longer your in side a ice field the more danger you are in the quicker you get out the shorter your vessel is in danger.
1st officer macmaster murdock was only using the ic berg as an apex in which he was trying to reverse the titanic round the iceberg but using a 46,000 ton ocean liner dosent turn on a dime andaswell by reversing the engines the central purpelor cant be reveresed so murdock counciled out the turn with the prop wash from the shaft by full astern to port and reversing the engines. murdock deserves credit like the captain and secound in commmand |

ive seen loads of that on diffrent white star vessesl as the pain goes all flaked and tatey i have an advertisement bored of the mejestic and the paint on her bow is all tatey. and i agree about murdock he did waht he was trained to do and whiyte star line would not want there luxury liner coming back to harbour with huge dents and scraches it would be bad for publicity

MGY--Didn't know that. But it makes sense with all that speed and force on the ships side. I would have rather had her damage the bow than sink....

This has nothing really to do with the topic, but I thought I would ask it anyway since Robert's statement about "scratching the paint" triggered my memory. Do any of you know that on many of ships maiden voyages, their bow paint close to the water line is chipped off horribly? If not, take a look at Olympic's bow on her arrival in New York, or say Normandie on her first voyage. (Aparently, it takes a few re-paints after the first voyage to get the paint where it can stand the force of the water breaking around it). So aparently, if Titanic survived, she would probably still have some paint missing. |
