90% of an iceberg is underwater. Ships or any other type of boats sailing in very cold regions have the possibility of misjudging the size of an iceberg and hitting them.Eg. titanic.
April 14 1912- April 15 1912. It took two hours to sink. It hit an iceberg, because they wouldn't listen to the other ships that there was bad ice but they did not listen to the other boats.
they are detected by other ships, and then a message is passed onto other ships so the ships know to look out for iceburgs
Unlike other disasters, the Titanic's sinking by an iceberg on April 14-15, 1912, is seldom disputed. However, the reasons for the actual collision are often debated. Two separate inquests were conducted after the sinking. One was the US Senate hearing (April 19, 1912 in New York, and April 26-May 28, 1912 in Washington) and the other the official Board of Inquiry in London, beginning May 2, 1912. Testimony at these hearings pointed out the following possibilities for contributing causes : * The wireless telegraph operators aboard the Titanic (who were not ship's crew) failed to promptly alert the crew of iceberg warnings reported by two ships in the area. * Although icebergs were likely, and lookouts posted, the ship failed to stop for the night as other ships in the area did. * The dark, moonless night precluded the observation of the iceberg until collision was imminent. * Either of the bridge commands reported by surviving crew would have reduced the ability of the Titanic to turn (either into, or away from the iceberg). Either "full astern" or "full stop" would have stopped the main propeller, and thereby slowed any turns. In any event, the buckling of the Titanic's hull flooded five compartments, and the water overtopped the bulkheads into other areas. This design flaw was never addressed on either of the other two ships of the class.
The night of the sinking, the waters were so calm that there wouldn't have been any breaking water visible at the iceberg's base, and the lookout crew members were missing their binoculars which didn't help at all. But if the Titanic wasn't going so fast, their chances of survival would have been really high for it could have survived a head-on collision

90% of an iceberg is underwater. Ships or any other type of boats sailing in very cold regions have the possibility of misjudging the size of an iceberg and hitting them. The ship can crash into an iceberg that creates a hole in the ship and floods everyone on the ship. Example: Titanic
All of them
The iceberg is 1372 meters away.
there has been laws now set saying all ships must have life boats for all the passengers and an iceberg warning socits have been made so that ships know when they have reached iceberg zones
large ships
To be honest, no one knows the exact amount of iceberg warnings Captain J. Smith received from other ships. But the estimation is; way too many. Captain John Smith received dozens and dozens of warning from other ships in the area, such as, "We have stopped, and are surrounded by ice." Even so, Captain Smith ignored all of these warnings.
maybe or no. cause there are lot of ships which is built nicer than titanic. titanic was a nice ship but it hit was hit by an iceberg so it got sink. ships would sink if its hit by an iceberg right?
one of the boat was titanic. but it hit an iceberg.
the titanic starts to flood as soon as the ships hit the iceberg
People who track icebergs are commonly referred to as iceberg monitors or iceberg trackers. They use satellites, aircraft, and other technology to monitor the movement and location of icebergs to help ships navigate safely through icy waters.
Well, that depends when the ship sets sail. In April, ships can expect to see icebergs at Latitude 64 degrees, usally the 5th day of sailing. Other months, your chances of running into an Iceberg in the other 11 months are about 33%.
