The Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg due to pressure from the ship's owner to maintain a fast schedule and the captain's decision to ignore ice warnings. Investigations found the captain should have slowed the ship given weather conditions and that more lives could have been saved if a nearby vessel had responded to the Titanic's distress signals. Recommendations were made to prevent future disasters.

The Steamship William G. Mather represents the evolution of mechanical engineering through its periodic refits to incorporate new technologies that extended its economic life serving the Great Lakes shipping industry. As the flagship of the Cleveland-Cliffs fleet, the Mather pioneered technologies like radar and was refitted in 1954 with a more efficient steam turbine and oil-fired boiler, keeping Great Lakes shipping competitive for transporting iron ore to steel mills. The Mather is recognized as an example of mechanical engineers applying new technologies to maintain the viability of a major capital investment.

The documents provide evidence that overconfidence in the Titanic's design and safety features, failure to adequately respond to ice warnings, and lack of sufficient lifeboats contributed to the sinking. The ship had watertight compartments but the collision damaged too many (D10). The captain maintained speed through ice fields relying on lookouts, but the lookout had no binoculars to spot icebergs from far off (D7, D8). Several ice warnings were received but not all were relayed to the bridge (D5). Over 1500 lives were lost because the Titanic only had enough lifeboats for about half of those on board (D11).
