An incident confirmed this philosophy while Titanic was under construction: the White Star liner Republic was involved in a collision and sank. Even though she did not have enough lifeboats for all passengers, they were all saved because the ship was able to stay afloat long enough for them to be ferried to ships coming to assist.

Neither officer knew how many people could safely be carried in the boats as they were lowered and they both erred on the side of caution by not filling them. They could have been lowered quite safely with their full complement of 68people, especially with the highly favourable weather and sea conditions. [83] Had this been done, an additional 500people could have been saved; instead, hundreds of people, predominantly men, were left on board as lifeboats were launched with many seats vacant.

In the aftermath of the sinking, public inquiries were set up in Britain and the United States. The US inquiry began on 19 April under the chairmanship of Senator William Alden Smith, [227] and the British inquiry commenced in London under Lord Mersey on 2 May 1912. [228] They reached broadly similar conclusions: the regulations on the number of lifeboats that ships had to carry were out of date and inadequate; [229] Captain Smith had failed to take proper heed of ice warnings; [230] the lifeboats had not been properly filled or crewed; and the collision was the direct result of steaming into a danger area at too high a speed. [229] Both inquiries strongly criticised Captain Lord of Californian for failing to render assistance to Titanic. [231] Older readers may begin asking difficult-to-answer questions, such as “How could a 750kg cow possibly get into such an unseaworthy vessel?” So be prepared to either make something up or praise them for their undeniable grasp of reality – whichever suits your preferred parenting style. It is a great chance to read the books of important authors. I know that. I'm looking forward to your new books.

Those on Carpathia were startled by the scene that greeted them as the sun rose: "fields of ice on which, like points on the landscape, rested innumerable pyramids of ice." [208] Captain Arthur Rostron of Carpathia saw ice all around, including 20large bergs measuring up to 200 feet (61m) high and numerous smaller bergs, as well as ice floes and debris from Titanic. [208] It appeared to Carpathia 's passengers that their ship was in the middle of a vast white plain of ice, studded with icebergs appearing like hills in the distance.

Each animal enters the boat, one by one (some more gracefully than others). Each time a new animal gets in, Allen questions whether it was he or she who was responsible.We had so much fun designing this Simple STEM challenge for young learners. The concept is sink or float.
