Indiana's width is 140 miles (225 kilometers).
The Titanic was traveling from the west to the east across the Atlantic Ocean, from England to New York City (with stops in Cherbourge, France and in Queenstown, Ireland). *The name of Queenstown, Ireland was changed to Cobh, Ireland in 1922.
The answer to this question is complex as it very much depends on which part of the country being referred to. A very wet summer in the west of Ireland may not necessarily be so in the east; for example Summer 1990 was exceptionally wet in western Ireland but was one of the driest on record further east. Summer 1994 was wet over southern Ireland but was below normal rainfall wise over the northern half. More generally poor summers were recorded in 1985 and 1986, the latter including the remnants of Hurricane Charley in August, which dumped over 4 inches or 100mm of rain over a wide area of the east and south. Summer 1995 is generally regarded as the driest summer on record countrywide, but the wettest has to be split into 3 categories. West: Summer 1992. South and east: Summer 1958. North: Summer 1985.
Indiana is 270 miles long (north to south) and 140 miles wide (east to West).
The distance from Southampton to New York is 3,419 miles. If one subtracted mileage for the distance west to Ireland and the distance east from New York, 3,000 miles could be a reasonable estimate.
