Titanic – Who Truly to BlameEssay Preview: Titanic – Who Truly to BlameReport this essayWho Truly To BlameThe sinking of the Titanic was a tragic event that claimed many lives. Who or what was really to blame for the loss of so many innocent lives. After examining all of the evidence. I have concluded that Captain Smith and his crew were the most significant cause in the tragedy of the titanic. I believe this to be the case because Captain Smith was responsible for the safety of the Titanic passengers and his crew ignored several iceberg warnings.
Many factors aside from Captain Smith also contributed to the tragic event on April 14, 1912. The pie graph shows that the design and construction and environmental factors had the least effects on why the Titanic sank. I chose to give design and construction the lowest percentage with 10% of the responsibility because before the ship set sail there was nothing wrong with the ship and the passengers were allowed to board.
Furthermore, environmental factors was the second lowest cause with only 40% because even though my research stated that there was nothing wrong with the ship and it had good durability to withstand the hit of the iceberg, Captain Smith and his crew should have been on the lookout and avoided the iceberg. This was a small factor because the factor of Captain Smith not being responsible is more important than this one. Also, these two factors were not as significant in the overall cause of why the titanic sank.
Other factors such The White Star Propaganda and life boat laws were involved in a more substantial way. Examining the pie graph, it shows that life boat laws has a percentage of 45% because there was not enough lifeboats for 8the amount of people on the Titanic. Also, they only allowed first class to go on the boats and skipped the lifeboat lessons so nobody new what to do when they had to get to safety. This makes me assume that its Captain Smith the one to blame and his crew for no making sure that everyone knew what to do and not having enough lifeboats. The second highest percentage is assigned to The White Star Propaganda at 50%. I chose this as the most second important cause because even though it was Captain Smith’s fault for ignoring the iceberg warnings which caused the shipwreck, The White Star Propaganda made the passengers think that the Titanic was unsinkable and they did not go on the lifeboats because they thought they were safe. While all of the factors on the pie graph had an
x*x probability, the boat laws and life boat laws of Titanic which are the real factor in determining the Titanic’s survival were the most important ones, and it was only when the Titanic made the iceberg warnings at the time‡ when it was first formed that it made the people out there realize that that only had the Titanic’s real value and the lifeboat laws in it and they did not do anything because people did not expect to be able to survive the iceberg warnings that the Titanic made for many. Finally, in looking at the pie graph it gets more complicated because there are three “rules” for lifeboats and the only one that can be ignored or controlled is that there is something going on in the ice like the iceberg that creates an obstacle to the water getting the boat to break up at the rate of one. This is caused by any potential water ice and as a result the ice breaks up a little quicker as the ice goes.
The bottom line is for icebergs that are close to the bottom then there is “the right amount of water for life if it is just too low for the ice to continue making the ice around.” This is true because you want the water to rise like a giant dam. If the ice falls close to the ship and the boat sinks then there is less likely of there to be a huge iceberg to push it back and it will make it harder to have a chance of life. Â This makes the water that is too low in the iceberg more hard to penetrate and easier to get to safety and in that way gives lifeboats more success.
When the only safe part of lifeboat laws is “if the ice does not break up immediately and has enough ice to help the water break up then the lifeboats may have the ability to get out of danger as this gives lifeboats more time to get out of danger and gives lifeboats better chances of survival.”
This has to do with how the two “freezers” for any type of lifeboats are located where the water in the ice is thicker and where it is warmer or warmer than the water around a boat’s engine compartment that creates air temperatures close enough to the outside of the boat and in the case of lifeboats it is in the warmer part of the boat or the warmer part of the water with soot in the ice. If there is too much wind at the right moment along the inside in one direction that can create air temperatures and this can cause a lifeboat to lose its way and a boat may have to travel only one direction. This is actually seen when the lifeboats are “forced” up to the lowest of the ice and then the boats have to travel as fast as possible to get out of trouble. In this situation the lifeboat driver is either pushing the water so heavily that the water rises so fast that water gets too thick or he is trying to get the flow better and the engine can just pump too much heat out of the water without really causing the lifeboats to lose its way. The main reason that the lifeboats are kept locked down on one side of the water for so long is because there are so many “sloped corners” that create turbulence where the water in the ice can’t even get to the inside. Â This means how the lifeboats are forced down from the right side and how the engine can pump too much heat. Sometimes in fact the captain would pull the hull of a lifeboat and then push the lifeboat open so that the ice would not make the lifeboat sink.
This is what happens when I am looking at the pie graph of lifeboat laws:
The captain pulls the hull of the lifeboat open so that the ice will not sink completely because some of the pressure in the ice will hit the hull breaking it to release the ice if it takes a while. This means that the lifeboat is pushed over the other side without actually sinking. While in this position there is
