"so if the Californian could go the same speed as titanic or just about or more... it cold have gotten there in less than an hour. besides, its only 5 miles.."
--The Californian could go 13 knots at full speed if they were giving her everything they got. She usually ran 11 or 12 knots. Also, she was much further than 5 miles away. Most likely 12 miles away. Also, there was much ice in between the two. In the dark this would be a difficult task to go full. Remember it took them 3 hours in the daylight. Although they went the long way, so we'll say it would have taken 2 if they didn't cross the ice field first. Still wouldn't have made a difference. I'm not sure I understand what your trying to say?? Are you saying they could have gotten there in an hour? |
