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.

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

I can possibly agree with the wood theory, but removing tubs, plugging
drain holes and getting them launched is quite the fantasy.

just sunk like a rock anyway.

The ship was carrying lots of cargo, so I'm sure there would have been
lots of wood crates, etc.

I'm sure the tubs had plugs or stoppers as standard equipment.

And I'm sure there were plenty of axes and other tools on a ship like
that.

And I think the staterooms were on the upper levels of the ship (not far
below decks).

And I think there was enough time to hack or break out the tubs (didn't
the ship take more than 2 hours to sink?).

And - I would think there would have been enough life-or-death
motivation to make all this happen.

most passengers didnt believe there was real danger, after all it was
advertised as unsinkable, and it went down fast.

recent news said most passengers thought it was safer to stay onboard

Wow, if only you were aboard, no lives would have been lost.
Considering this took place 100 years ago and you've never seen the
ship, you sure made a lot of suppositions. What wee the tubs made
from? Used to be cast iron, but on the ship, I have no idea.

"...At 2.20 am, it sank, breaking loose from the bow section. The
remaining passengers and crew were plunged into lethally cold water

Yes - hence the point about using any available materials or objects to
make a raft or floation aid to stay above the water.

But you need to not only float but to stay out of the water. How
would you go about doing that? Besides, it sank within 3 hours (~2:45
IIRC). Who would you pull off of manning lifeboats to get all this
stuff? How would you move it from the hold, especially with many of the
decks already flooded? How is all this supposed to happen in the small
time frame?

there was plenty of stuff to grab onto not to mention they had on life
vests. The main problem was the 29 degree water. A person only last a
few min at that temp even if they are in good shape.

another major problem is that the situation was downplayed until the
latter minutes and no one actually thought she would sink.

If you're going to drown nothing is out of the question. ;) Would a
bathtub float with a person in it?

There have been studies done on "what they could have done" but
unfortunanly that's Monday morning quarterbacking. I think many believed
it wasn't going to sink, until it did.

One idea was to tie all the deck chairs together.

It is difficult to second guess...

One possible solution might have been to remain close to the iceberg, and
find a way to climb aboard the iceberg. I imagine that is not easy but
might be the best alternative. It was the only thing for miles around
floating.

It's a real shame that the wireless (radio) safety rules were not in effect,
there were other ships in the area but their radios were off for the night.

True enough but there was lots of material to make quick floatation

Apparently, actually reading something before you comment is an option

Have you been in rough 8 foot seas in the North Atlantic?
The sea that night was dead calm.

Much calmer than when I went on my cruise to Nassau and half the ship

I'll admit I'm going on what little I know about the incident but maybe
