One hundred years ago today (15 April) the Titanic sank.

I thought it was too big to sink.

Almost 3/4 of the passengers were drowned including several
American millionaires.

I always found it strange that there wasn't enough wood or other
light-weight materials onboard that could have been scavanged to make
ad-hoc rafts or other floatation aids.

You do know the water is rather chilly in the N. Atlantic in April?

Weren't there enough bathtubs in the staterooms that could have been
used as one-person mini-boats?
