If this has been asked before, please forgive my question.
I have seen many computer models that calculate flooding and sinking, and break-up.
Has anyone ever done a computer simulation/model to calculate the top speed Titanic could travel at, and still have time once the berg was sited, to make the hard to starboard turn and completely miss the iceberg?
We have Carpathia comining in at 15-18 knots, depending upon which account/testimony that you believe.
But an Olympic class ship like Titanic is much larger and faster.
So how fast can Titanic travel and still navigate around the iceberg?
I would be interested in knowing this.
