bbc.co.uk	DO SHIPS STILL HIT ICEBERGS? Next month marks the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic. The disaster spurred maritime nations to start monitoring icebergs, so why are ships still hitting them? Shortly before midnight on 14 April 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank less than three hours later. The tragedy galvanised world leaders to hold the first Safety of Life at Sea convention to address the iceberg threat. With only visual sightings and a shipboard radio to guide the Titanic safely through iceberg-infested waters, the liner was ill-equipped to detect its nemesis. ...	20th March 2012

thestar.com	TORONTO TITANIC PASSENGER ARTHUR GODREY PEUCHEN HAD QUALMS ABOUT CAPTAIN SMITH R.M.S. Titanic left Southampton, England, at noon on April 10, 1912, and it wasn’t long before the fears of Toronto’s Maj. Arthur Godfrey Peuchen started to seem like prophecy. An experienced yachtsman himself, Peuchen thought Capt. Edward John Smith was, at 62, too old, and his career too star-crossed, to be guiding such a mammoth vessel on her maiden voyage. Sure enough, Titanic was barely underway when disaster loomed. As she churned out a narrow channel past two ships moored together at the dock, Titanic’s movement caused the mooring ropes to snap on one of those ships, New York....	10th March 2012
