The only way I have heard that they (possibly) could have missed the berg was if Murdoch turned to port and did not reverse the engines.
That is going under the assumption that there was enough time to actually reverse the engine. It almost seems in some theories and accounts that Titanic was too close to the berg anyway to do any type of meneuver to clear the danger. (For example, lookout Fleet stated that the ship started turning to port when he was still on the phone warning the bridge about the berg). |
