You’ve heard of the Titanic’s sinking, right? Well, do you know who is exactly is responsible though? The captain of the R.M.S. Titanic is to blame, which was Captain Edward J. Smith and he was a popular leader. He had a total of 38 years of working with the White Star Line, the company that owned the Titanic. Captain Smith should have had full control of the ship and obviously, that night, he did not. Therefore, Captain Smith is the the person to blame for the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic because he cancelled a lifeboat drill on the Titanic, he allowed lifeboats to leave partially full and not at the correct time, and lastly, he ignored seven different iceberg warnings.
On April 15th 1912 the largest ship in the world, the Titanic, plunged into the icy blue waters of the Atlantic ocean. Hundreds of bodies littered the shining ripples of water while survivors frantically searched for their loved ones, holding on to the hope that they were still alive. No one knows who is to blame for this horrific disaster, but many believe that Captain Smith is to blame for the sinking. He ignored ice warnings from the crew and surrounding ships. He also allowed lifeboats to be filled to only half their capacity before being lowered into the water. Captain Smith also traveled at full speed through an ice field.
“Out on the decks, most passengers now began to move toward the stern area, which was slowly lifting out of the water.” confirms author Robert D. Ballard in Exploring the Titanic. But, why were these conditions crucial, and why did people have to take charge during the dreadful night of the Titanic's sinking. Who was to blame for the sinking. It could’ve perhaps been the messenger, the ship's builder, or maybe the captain. It could've just been one of them or it could’ve all three of them. The designer was experienced but maybe just not enough.
Do you know who is responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? Well if you don’t it’s a very important thing to learn because, this is part of our history. I believe Captain Smith is responsible for this sinking in 1912 because, he was entirely responsible for the control of the ships wheel.
Have you ever wondered who sank the Titanic? Captain Smith was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic because he put the ship in full speed, he was ignoring the ice warnings, and there were no warnings for the people at the iceberg sighting.
The Titanic was a ship that sunk during its maiden voyage in 1912. This big ship was on it’s way to New York when it struck an iceberg. It was believed to be “unsinkable” but that night it met it’s fate and sunk killing many passengers. As the story goes they say it’s the icebergs fault for the sinking of the ship. When in reality, the White Star Line was truly at fault for the sinking of the Titanic. They are responsible for this tragedy because they went full speed after ignoring six ice warnings. Not only that but they should've thought of the consequences when they decided to take off lifeboats for more room for luxury items. Then they weren’t prepared and never had any drills or safety procedures for if the ship were to sink.
The Titanic tragedy was not a very happy event, but I am here to share my opinion on the causes of the sinking of it.
During the time of her construction, Titanic was the largest, grandest, safest, and most technologically advanced ship during her time. Her designers and engineers set out to build a class of ocean liners that could compete against White Star Line’s rival company, Cunard. However, when Titanic, the second of her sister ships sunk on her maiden voyage, it shook the world and it had a major impact on the world and its people. One of the main effects was the effect on safety regulations. Titanic only carried enough lifeboats to sustain roughly half of the passengers and crew on board. At the time, Titanic actually exceeded the amount of the lifeboats required by the British Board of Trade regulations by 10 percent.
The movie Titanic, based on personal stories from the ship’s passengers, expresses the importance of safety precautions and the division of class as well as spreading awareness of the issue. The ship set sail in April of 1912 from Southampton in United Kingdom to New York City. When it sank, about 1,500 people died. Though the main characters in the movie were fictional, there were five characters that were based off of real people who were on the ship. Margaret Brown, Archibald Gracie, Captain Edward John Smith, Thomas Andrews and Joseph Bruce Ismay were those five. The captain of the ship was Edward John Smith, and his personal story is shown throughout the movie. Smiths’ attempts to save lives were not
“Iceberg right ahead!” That one of the most unforgettable quotes from the movie, “Titanic”. After seeing that movie for the first time I found the Titanic and her famous story, I found the Titanic and very fascinating. Titanic is one of the greatest known maritime disasters in history to this day. She was the grandest, most technologically advanced ship, and safest ship of her time. As you read this report, you will be presented some effects Titanic had on things during her time period as well as in the present that most people may not know about.

To sum up, the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic was remarkably avoidable. John Wesley Woodward can be considered a hero to the other passengers, survivors and victims alike, and he gave his all to give them hope. Woodward should not have had to lose his life. Not a single person should have died. If there had been better communication and discipline between the ships involved, the Titanic might not have sunk, and Woodward might not have
The Titanic was the biggest ship of it’s kind when it was built. But it came to end not long after it set sail. Was safety the issue? It was the only cause. For example, my first rule is that there should be 100% transparent communication between captain and crew to passengers, on page 119 it says specifically, “He
When engineers design a product many things go in to the decision making process when it comes to selecting materials, design, and the manufacturing processes. One concern that has always been in the decision making process is trying to make sure the outcome will always be ethically good, although this isn’t always the case. Try as they might, no person is perfect, and accidents do happen. When engineering disasters happen there are many factors that may be involved, such as human factors, design flaws, extreme conditions, and materials failures. When these things do happen it is important to look at the ethical aspect of each part of the failure and
