2. What do we think? Captain Smith ignored seven iceberg warnings from his crew and other ships We believe that it was captain E.J Smith’s fault because he was relaxed as it was named the unsinkable ship by Thomas Andrews, this quote suggests no one expected the ship to sink therefore he ignored the warnings. Also as it was named the unsinkable ship there weren’t as many safety precautions which also implies that there wouldn’t have been enough life boats on board. Another factor that we believe to be true is that the rivets were not placed into the boat correctly which could mean the ship didn’t have enough support and the ship was more vulnerable if anything was to hit it. Furthermore we also think the quote the ship was unsinkable made people less alert and unaware of the dangers.

3. Unsinkable? Our other reason is that it was named the unsinkable ship. One of the factors that made the sinking of the Titanic so memorable is the fact that lives were needlessly lost. There were not enough lifeboats on board to hold all the passengers and crew and when the lifeboats were launched they were not filled to capacity. Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, enough for 1178 people. The existing Board of Trade required a passenger ship to provide lifeboat capacity for 1060 people. Titanic's lifeboats were situated on the top deck. The boat was designed to carry much more lifeboats but this number was reduced between 40 to 60 because as it was felt that the deck would be too cluttered. Titanic also carried 3500 lifebelts and 48 life rings; Useless in the icy water. The majority of passengers that went into the sea did not drown, but froze to death. Bound from Southampton to New York, the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40 p.m. on Sunday, April 14, 1912, on her unfortunate maiden voyage. Within three hours, she sank to a depth of about 13,000 feet and more than two-thirds of the 2,224 passengers and crew perished at sea. Had the "unsinkable" luxury liner stayed afloat longer, the tragic loss of life could have been mitigated by rescue ships getting to the disaster scene Bound from Southampton to New York, the Royal Mail Steamer.

4. |Our Conclusion In conclusion, our hypothesis is that so many people died due to complacency. People weren’t even aware when the lower part of the ship was under water as the idea that the titanic could sink was impossible. Therefore people didn’t get into life boats until it was too late.
