Answer
What would have happened if the Titanic struck the iceberg head on directly?
Instead of what actually happened- they turned and the iceberg struck the sides and punched holes in the side.
The front of the ship is sharp and pointy, so wouldn't it just "cut through" and split the iceberg? Or would the front of the ship be wrecked and sink the ship even faster?

1 Answer4 weeks agoWhy do I have an irrational fear of boating?
To be honest, I have no reason to fear boating whatsoever, but I do and the issue here is I have no clue what fear is when it comes to boating.
I grew up on a boat as a young child and I remember I never liked boating that much as a teenager, but I still went out boating for my dad. I do remember a while back, I didn't even want to go on a dingy with him not only due to it being so low, but the fact it was shortly after a car accident I had gotten into about a year prior to that. I remember him yelling at me saying something like this: "It's not a car, just get in it!" So, I did and I was fine when he was going super slow through the canal and he promised me, he'd go slow to wherever he was taking me to where he broke his promise and literally hauled it on me (that's what it felt like to me). I do remember even when I was a child that whenever my dad had a boat that had an underneath inside area, for some reason I always felt safer down there so I'd usually stay down there for quite a while. I remember as soon as my dad sped up in the dingy, I not only LOST IT on him, I was screaming my head off at him.

6 Answers1 month agoIs there any word for “driving” a boat?
When you drive a car it is called driving, and when you fly a plane it’s called flying, but is there any equivalent word for when you’re maneuvering a boat? There may be certain words for specific types of boats, for example sailing if it’s a sailboat, or rowing, but is there any general terms that applies to boats as a whole?
