Captain Edward Smith thought all the lifeboats would look “cluttered” on deck. The titanic had the title of “unsinkable ship” because of that, the captain thought lifeboats wouldn’t

Abstract The sinking of the RMS Titanic caused the death of thousands of passengers and crew is one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.

Titanic was the largest of its time and could expect to be fully booked on its maiden voyage. A national coal strike began in the UK which caused considerable disruption to shipping schedules in the spring of 1912, causing many crossings to be cancelled.

cases like the Titanic, the Harland and Wolff of Belfast company improved and fixed several of the ships that they had made. The changes were based on the failures that engineers overlooked while building the Titanic.

There is a legend that the sunken ships in the ocean do not go to the bottom and hang at a certain depth, traveling as underwater "The Flying Dutchman", together with the ocean currents. Jules Verne in his novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" even described the hanging motionless in the water wreck, and wrecks allegedly rot, hanging freely in the water.
