What is the believed cause of the disaster of the HMS Titanic?
There are many believed causes. The steel that was used and the rivits that were used were possibly inferior. The bottom line is that ego and pride were also in play. There was a lot of pressure on the Captain to set a new time record and that caused carelessness in regards to avoiding icebergs. They struck an iceberg, the rivits and hull failed, they took on water and sank.
