I've always wondered,

after the collision, *if the captian had elected to keep the ship
alongside the iceberg, if the passangers could have climbed onto the
iceberg and used it as a life boat.

Thats a question I have never heard asked. Excellent!


And what will a bobbing boat do when scraping against a very solid iceberg?
Presuming there is a way to tie up the ship. Just using the engine to push
the ship against the iceberg is something I wouldn't want to see (or hear).
