  • Coordination Failure and the Sinking of Titanic
    The Sinking of the Unsinkable Titanic: Mental Inertia and Coordination Failures Fu-Lai Tony Yu Department of Economics and Finance Hong Kong Shue Yan University Abstract This study investigates the sinking of the Titanic from the theory of human agency derived from Austrian economics, interpretation sociology and organizational theories. Unlike most arguments in organizational and management sciences, this study offers a subjectivist perspective of mental inertia to understand the Titanic disaster. Specifically, this study will argue that the fall of the Titanic was mainly due to a series of coordination and judgment failures that occurred simultaneously. Such systematic failures were manifested in the misinterpretations of the incoming events, as a result of mental inertia, by all parties concerned in the fatal accident, including lookouts, telegram officers, the Captain, lifeboat crewmen, architects, engineers, senior management people and owners of the ship. This study concludes that no matter how successful the past is, we should not take experience for granted entirely. Given the uncertain future, high alertness to potential dangers and crises will allow us to avoid iceberg mines in the sea and arrived onshore safely. Keywords: The R.M.S. Titanic; Maritime disaster; Coordination failure; Mental inertia; Judgmental error; Austrian and organizational economics 1. The Titanic Disaster So this is the ship they say is unsinkable. It is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship. From Butler (1998: 39) [The] Titanic… will stand as a monument and warning to human presumption. The Bishop of Winchester, Southampton, 1912 Although the sinking of the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic (thereafter as the Titanic) is not the largest loss of life in maritime history1, it is the most famous one2.

He went down with his ship. Second Officer Lightoller. Lookout Fred Fleet. The crew consisted of stewards, cooks, cleaners, waiters, etc.; 320 engineers, and 65 engaged in navigation – altogether there were 913 crew members. The Titanic could carry more than three thousand people on board, but for its maiden voyage, 2,229 people were on the ship. First Class: 325 (* These numbers may not Second Class : 285 be exact, as there are conflicting reports of Third Class : 706 numbers of survivors and Crew : 913 passenger numbers) The different classes did not mix on the ship – the First Class passengers were on the top decks; the Second Class on the middle decks; the Third Class further down. White Star realised that they could make a lot of money from Third Class passengers. (Third Class was also known as ‘Steerage’.) Other ships at the time did not provide comfortable living quarters for Third Class passengers, but by providing comfortable accommodation on the Titanic, White Star believed that it would be recommended to friends and family who would join those who had already emigrated. First Class passengers could swim in the pool, work out in the gymnasium, play squash, have a Turkish bath, or tan themselves on sunbeds.

    WIZARD ENGLISH TRAINING CENTER TITANIC CHAPTER ONE Under the sea It was 1 September 1985. Under a ship in the North Atlantic, a camera moved through the dark water. Slowly, the camera went down - 1,000 metres, 2,000 metres, 3,000 metres under the sea. On the ship, some sailors waited and watched. Nobody spoke. Then, suddenly, they saw something. 'There it is!' 'Where?' 'There - look, I can see it!' 'Yes, you're right! It's the Titanic!' With the camera, the sailors could see a ship 3,810 meters under the water. It was a very big, old ship, and it was in two halves. They could see the front half of the ship with their camera, but the back half of the ship was 800 meters away. The sailors were all very happy. They took lots of photographs. The next year they came back with more cameras. The cameras went down under the sea and looked at the ship more carefully. They went all round the ship and took hundreds of photos. Some of the cameras went into the ship too, through the windows. Later there was a film about the ship. People all over the world watched the film and saw the photographs in newspapers. But who built the Titanic? What happened to it? Why did it break in two halves, and sink to the bottom of the sea? And what about the people on this ship? What were they like, and what happened to them? This is the story of the Titanic. CHAPTER TWO The biggest ship in the world 1 WIZARD ENGLISH TRAINING CENTER More than 15,000 people built the Titanic in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

  • CHRONOLOGY of EVENTS with REFERENCES and NOTES Revised: 07 July 2018
    CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS WITH REFERENCES AND NOTES Revised: 07 July 2018 This chronology reflects the order of events pertaining to the maiden voyage of Titanic. It is the most comprehensive and extensively referenced chronology of Titanic’s maiden voyage ever assembled, and first appeared in: Samuel Halpern, et al., Report Into the Loss of the SS Titanic – A Centennial Reappraisal, The History Press, 2011. It is primarily based upon evidence that comes from survivor accounts as given in sworn testimony, affidavits, letters, and other credible sources. The sources for the events included in this chronology are listed alongside each set grouped under a specified time. There is also a set of notes that explain how certain event times were derived, or offer additional pertinent information. In some cases, reference is made to specific articles and other publications where more details and in-depth explanations can be found. For most of the wireless messages shown, reliance was heavily placed on primary sources such as wireless logs or wireless station office forms that are available, rather than using some previously compiled list. In all cases, we have tried to insure the relative accuracy of event sequences. However, the accuracy of event times themselves cannot be guaranteed. The reader must understand that actual clock times were only known for a relatively few events where someone took the time off of a clock or a watch. Even for the times associated with wireless messages, where messages were recorded using a standard time reference such as New York time or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), we find variances in the reported times put down by different operators describing the same communication.
