The ice conditions were attributed to a mild winter that caused large numbers of icebergs to shift off the west coast of Greenland. [18] After reading Who Sank the Boat? for enjoyment, have a class discussion about their initial reaction to the story and their predications as to who sank the boat. At 13:45, the German ship SS Amerika, which was a short distance to the south, reported she had "passed two large icebergs". [25] This message never reached Captain Smith or the other officers on Titanic 's bridge. The reason is unclear, but it may have been forgotten because the radio operators had to fix faulty equipment. [25] Mills, Simon (1993). RMS Olympic– The Old Reliable.

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[228] They reached broadly similar conclusions: the regulations on the number of lifeboats that ships had to carry were out of date and inadequate; [229] Captain Smith had failed to take proper heed of ice warnings; [230] the lifeboats had not been properly filled or crewed; and the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]Did you know that most of the popular TV shows and movies are based on books?

Captain Smith felt the collision in his cabin and immediately came to the bridge. Informed of the situation, he summoned Thomas Andrews, Titanic 's builder, who was among a party of engineers from Harland and Wolff observing the ship's first passenger voyage. [64] The ship was listing five degrees to starboard and was two degrees down by the head within a few minutes of the collision. [65] Smith and Andrews went below and found that the forward cargo holds, the mail room and the squash court were flooded, while No.6 boiler room was already filled to a depth of 14 feet (4.3m). Water was spilling over into No.5 boiler room, [65] and crewmen there were battling to pump it out. [66]
