The problem with the Titanic was the crew scraped the ice burg. It was in compliance with all safety regulations at the time and actually had 2 more lifeboats then what was required.
The shipbuilders had no reason to build passenger ships safer after learning about the subpar rivets, the metal that got weaker in colder waters etc etc....
They could have just said “Don’t hit anything” to the crews.
The point is is, yes the crew was at fault, but that was no justification not to make future ships safer.
Oh and the Captain of that ship was not a “low time” guy.
He was a little full of himself though in my opinion.
