Hello all,
This has most likely been discussed ad nauseum, but were the safety systems and procedures for Titanic substandard for her time or did they meet regulations? Or did they by chance exceed minimum requirements?
I ask partly because I believe that no one incident led to the sinking. All the events that led up to the collision with the iceberg and following, all seemed to fall into place just right.
Did Harland & Wolff and White Star Line cut corners in any way? Or did both entities go above and beyond the bare minimums for safety?
Thanks!
