Take a hit instead of trying to avoid is not something that would be acceptable to anyone. That's not how they are trained and I would suggest they shouldn't be. They could have survive (this) ice berg, if they were little luckier. The decisions made in seconds/minutes are scrutinized decades later, with massive benefit of hind sight. The systematic changes made later to the shipping lines (e.g. 24 hour manned radio stations) were the real solution to the problems indicated by the sinking.

@@tvs339 I think it's well accepted that Murdoch ordered the ship to move Full Astern...which would be reverse lol. It was an attempt to dramatically slow the ship down by trying to draw its momentum backwards instead of dead, but the loss of speed and putting the rudder into reverse meant the rudder couldn't turn as well either. The ship was effectively, as they say in the movie, "too big to turn a damn". If they didn't reverse the engines, Titanic may have missed the spur of the iceberg by mere feet, or enough to have minimised damage to the hull.

[@tvs339]

@@chickenheelnakano the estimated time between spotting the berg and impact was around 35 seconds. Do you really believe that is sufficient time to: report it to the bridge, bridge make a decision and rreport it to the engine room, the engine room to give instructions to reverse the engines, the engines - enormous pieces of machinery turning at 18rpm - to be slowed to a halt and then wound up to a reverse speed that would affect the trajectory of the ship??

Mike Brady explained why the "hard a-port" order was spot on. Because the way ships behave, once it starts turning, there's no stopping it unless you imput the exact opposite order, even at straight ahead. Think of it as a car on a very slippery surface. Once it starts turning, even if a very slight imput was made, all tires lose grip and it just keeps turning. The car is actually moving forward, but because it has no grip, it is turning on its axis. The only way to stop the rotation is to turn the wheel the opposite direction, then fight it until it continues straight ahead with no rotation. This same scenario could be applied here, although on a very large scale. If no hard a-port order was made, the iceberg could've scraped the ENTIRE ship, causing it to flood and sink in MINUTES. Almost immediately the ship would develop a very sharp list, over the course of a few seconds it would be obvious that it would capsize, minutes later off it goes to the bottom of the ocean.

[@eaglevision993]

A cruise ship will generally never reverse or stall the engine once en route. A full astern after days of varying forward power levels and days from destination can only mean one thing. There is something unexpected and big right ahead. It could also have been another ship. No other situation would warrant the stress on the engine, propeller blades and driveshafts turning against the motion of the ship.

[@felinediscipline]

I love how Commanding Officer in the engine room immediately started calling out orders once he saw the Flight Deck(Command Room) calling for a switch from Ahead Full(Forward Full Power) to Astern Full(Reverse Full Power), his immediate response was due to the fact that such an action needed from the Flight Deck would only be necessary if a head-on collision was approaching. The engine obviously took too long to switch as realistically it would have taken 10 to 20 minutes before the ship even started moving backwards, in this film we seen the crew perform multiple different tasks to reverse the ship. The steering wheel was put on Hard Over(Wheel reached it's turning limit) They decrease the Steam Pressure from Full to Half(Slowing down the Forward Engine) Shutting the Dampers(Closing the furnace doors so all the Steam goes to the Engine) Holding(Prepare for Engine Switch) Activated Reversing Engine(Lever is pushed that stops the Pistons, than they started moving in reverse) Increase Steam Pressure from Half to Full(Speeding up the Reverse Engine) *Now the Engine is in Full Reverse* One problem is that it takes a while before the ship starts feeling the effects of the switch as it will still drift forward for a few metres. They basically switch from Drive to Reverse but it took about 50 people for it to be done. Cars only need the driver and the switch is done under 5 seconds.

I am not entirely sure if i understand this correct: This is what i know (from a book from 1996): The Ship had been on trials (of course) before it was officially allowed to take passengers on board. Among other things, a stop at full speed (which, basically, consists of whats happening in this scene just with all propellers: going from Full Ahead to Full Astern out of a sudden) was performed. If the authorities in charge would have not thought that the ship met the requirements (that, so to say, were measured in length of the ship rather than time to do it), no passenger would have been ever set a foot on that ship.

[@Arsaja]

Wow! you clearly know your stuff. But could you explain what does "Engine in Full Reverse" mean? Can the ship, like a car, travel in reverse? Could Titanic really back away from the iceberg?

@@Arsaja Yes it could, like present time, boats are capable of reverse movement, the problem with the titanic is that it's too big to start moving backwards quick enough to not hit the iceberg, so the crew resorted to going around it.
