What speed was the Titanic capable?
RMS Titanic had a designed cruising speed of 21 knots (about 39 kph, 24 mph), and a maximum speed of 23 knots. Its speed at the time of collision with the iceberg has been variously reported as 20.5 or 22.5 knots. The lower speed is far more likely given the limitations of its engines. The Titanic was travelling close to its top speed. It was speeding at 21 knots through the North Atlantic even though the crew had been warned by other ships of the sightings of icebergs. We don't exactly know why Captain Smith was driving so fast, some think it is because Bruce Ismay (who was in charge of White Star Line - the owners of the Titanic) put pressure on the Captain to make the ship go as fast as it could as he wanted to prove that the White Star Line was the best shipping company, while others think that the Captain was driving fast because after the Titanic's voyage he was to retire so he basically wanted to get it over with.

Why were people so keen to get on the Titanic?
Most people wanted to go on the Titanic because it was the biggest ship at that time. And when the Titanic went in the news, people could say to themselves that "I was on there", but most of them couldn't as they died. But the main reason was most likely because it was the biggest ship at that time, and also because it was said to be unsinkable and therefore the safest way to travel from England to America.
How could've Titanic been built differently so it wouldn't sink as fast as it did?
You see, they built the ship in confidence, thinking that it would always stay afloat. Well, if you know the story, around midnight, an iceberg scraped the side of the boat and made a hole in it. Though the boat was so big, it did not sink as fast because the water rose slowly. If you ever go to Las Vegas, go to the titanic exipit. It has all of the information you need, including a real iceberg and a real piece of the ship!
