What Were the Reasons for the Sinking of the Vessels?

1. What were the reasons for the sinking of the vessels?

Answer:

The reasons for the sinking of the vessels could be the following:

A) The weather was not favourable and they didn’t foresee it before they sent out their new vessels into the sea.The company could have avoided sinking of all the vessels if they probably had foreseen the weather condition since it was their first dry run of their mechanized vessels. Rough waves and the heavy storm had always been a major reason behind the sinking of the ship, however big and huge they were designed to hit against the waves.

B) They had compensated on the quality of the vessels by using lesser quality materials to reduce the cost since they had low and limited capital. The vessels also had the probability that they sank due to the saving they tried to do buy not buying the vessels and designing themselves. Though the designers were of engineering background, they are inexperienced in designing and wouldn’t have known the apt materials required for a strong vessel. This is proved from the text that the residue was scrap and they could have got nothing from it.

C) The vessels were not designed properly and it might have malfunctioned during their course at sea.

The ship Titanic though so huge and well designed, it malfunctioned by hitting the iceberg. Similarly, vessels malfunctioning during the course is also a high probability why the company lost all the vessels. Sometimes, malfunctioning cannot be avoided when the weather is unfavourable too.

D) They had not hired experienced staff instead they were all freshly hired.

They had all new hires on the crew, if they were an experienced crew, they would have probably known how to handle the vessel and the situation better. They could have even probably avoided two among them getting injured.
