Question

At what speed was the Titanic traveling when it hit an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912?

Answer 1

The Titanic was traveling at a speed of approximately 22.5 knots (about 41.7 kilometers per hour or 25.9 miles per hour) when it struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912. The ship was considered to be cruising at a relatively high speed for the prevailing conditions, which contributed to the severity of the collision and the subsequent sinking.
