I think that they all had knives if they didnt it would be a bit like a wine waiter with out his pocket friend. In the panic it could have been lost or misplaced.

Very true. Like he said, they most likely would have lost them in all the hoopla. ( I know that's not a word, but it works...lol)

Interesting to see I'm not the only one who questioned this. Maybe like Collie said that one particular officer lost his in the panic..
There'd be plenty of uses for a knife onboard a ship for such a crewmember. To cut ropes and things such of that sort. Can't use a gun to cut a rope and imagine when they were loading the cargo there were probably ropes around some of the cargo crates to keep things from falling off while being loaded onto the ship, they'd needed knives to cut them. |

I watched the movie 2 days ago and that is a good question. U would think they would also get knives b4 the crew got on board just in case something were to happen that u can't use a gun for. If passengers can have knives, y shouldn't the crewmembers? I guess they figured that they wouldn't need one, but they thought wrong. U don't see many police around with knives (or at least where I live u don't.) So much for, " A waste of deckspace," as Cal said.

I just watched the movie yesterday, and I was starting to wonder that myself. I would think they'd have knives, since you're right, they had guns.

Okay I was watching Titanic and noticed when the ship is sinking they're trying to get a lifeboat loose, one officer shouts "Cut em, cut em if you have to" in which a crew member replys "I need a knife, I need a knife".
Wouldn't the officers and crew have knives on them anyways for cutting things or cases such as the sinking?? I've heard that guns were in a box and were passed out to officers before putting the lifeboats out but what about knives? Strange question although I was just wondering since in another frame of the film someone (an officer) has a knife as does Fabrizio so it made me wonder why the one officer wouldn't have one...? |
