Although it was considered a technology masterpiece of her time, the sinking of the Titanic had many engineering flaws (both in the design of the ship and the implementation of safety procedures) that lead to her catastrophic failure and the loss of over 1500 passengers. The naivety of many involved, believed that the R.M.S Titanic was so great, that it could never sink. Even the Captain, Edward Smith, admitted “I cannot imagine any condition which could cause a ship [the Titanic] to founder” (1907) [4]. However, the flawed ship collided with poor environmental conditions and insufficient rescue equipment ending the voyage and resulting in one of the most catastrophic marine failures in history.
