Titanic sank because it hit a colossal iceberg. It is as simple as that. Had the ablebodies seamen in the crow's nest been issued glasses by Smith, Jennifer Hooper McCarty et al would not be writing codswallop ad nauseam, ad infinitum.
Despite having her hull slashed, she took hours to sink - we should pay tribute to outstanding British shipbuilding workmanship.
There is a tendency for know-it-alls to overcomplicate things. Keep it simple.
PAUL MALESKI.
