So their natural reaction was to open the portholes and have a look. Then, when they went up to the lifeboats, they left the portholes open.

The programme reveals how Titanic was going much faster than the average she needed of 18 knots to arrive on April 17 at Pier 59 in New York as planned - and a slower speed may have saved it from disaster.Simon Mills, owner of the HMS Britannic wreck, said: 'The simple fact is that she was going too fast - 22 knots in an ice field. Had she been going slower, she may have missed the berg, everything else would have been academic.' Titanic's captain Edward Smith was known for a reputation for speed, with historian Mr Maltin saying: 'Captain Smith was the White Star Line's best captain.' He was known as the millionaire's captain - and that's because people loved travelling with him. He was sophisticated, he looked the part.' 'He really liked going fast as well. He liked to get his passengers there as fast as possible, and let's face it, these passengers wanted to get there on time.

They knew, come hell or high water, Smith would get them there.' 'In fact, 12 open portholes would have doubled the iceberg damage to Titanic – of course, there were hundreds of portholes in Titanic's bow.'
