I have spoken to any number of people who have been to sea, and they all assure me that the binoculars wouldn't have made a bit of difference - they are useful for [i:a57603e63b]identifying[/i:a57603e63b] something once spotted, but for spotting something in the first place, you want a naked eye. Also, blaming the crew for the disorganisation that night is untoward: they had only been working as a crew since two days before the sailing; they had never participated in any emergency drills [i:a57603e63b]of any sort[/i:a57603e63b] (with the exception of the hand-picked crew who did a one-boat boat drill in Southampton); and they were not warned about the fact the ship was actually sinking.

[quote="PMS7"]Who do you think should be held most accountable for the wreck of the Titanic? I have mixed feelings about it. I'd love to hear from you.

as a captain of a small passenger vessel. I like many people have an intrest in the events of this famous night, yes there are many errors made that contibute to this fatel event. Many thing we know now about handling large powered vessels were not know then . But i feel as captian mrs smiths obviously has to shoulder the blame but the real crime was ordering full astern on all engines by the first officer was the fatel mistake up to that point all previous mistakes would not have mattered. but taking this action he deprived himself and the ship from all control Rudders on ships of this size arnt big enough to steer a vessel purley on their forward motion through the water they need consitrated water flow generated from the propellors to become effective.

[quote:eb4f7bff1f="conkright"]Also when the Titanic shot off all of its flares in white there was a boat that could see the flares. This boat was watching with binoculars and ignored that these were distress signals being shot in the air. this other boat could have raced over to the Titanic and rescued all of the people that were swimming for their life.[/quote:eb4f7bff1f]

I say it was captain Lord of the Californian who willfully ignored the distress flares of the Titanic - what a bum! He is blame for most of the loss of life because he could have raced there and picked up passengers in time.

The people who designed the ship.

1.The water tight buck heads were not high enough.

2.They want to make to upper decks more open, instead of worring about the passangers they were more worried about deck space for the first class passangers.

Plus if Ismay wouldn't have pushed Capt Smith the ship may have made it to New York.

I'm not saying that the first class and crew are not responsible for the death of all the people, however, no matter what they did, there still was a shortage of life boats. there were not enough boats by half... this is simply one of many problems that went along with her maiden voyage. Another is that the crew members in the crows nest did not infact have binoculars. they realized that they had a shortage of them before they set sail for New York, however they decided they would make due. the Bridge got the set the crows nest would have recived. No one person or event or situation is to blame for the accident that left fifteen hundred souls in perel, and to think otherwize is a sad mistake on all parties. there is a reason it is called an "unforseen accident." (no matter what some may say they thought before she set sail. Human nature tends to yern for attention.... if you know what I mean...there's a shocker...)
