What engineering measures are in place to ensure we don’t get another disaster like the Titanic?
In: 9
I read that there is not that much they could learn from an engineering standpoint. Most likely they learned some from the titanic, but more actually from warships.
That being said, some things were learned:
There were requirements for merchant vessels and the number of lifeboats. But regarded only ships up to 10.000 tonnes. Those would have needed 16 lifeboats. The titanic had 46.000 tonnes and 20 lifeboats.
Some of the lifeboats didn’t get filled to capacity. At least four were filled to 50% or less. Better training would have prevented that.
