how many ships actually sank because of icebergs( besides the Titanic)?

Question

either by an iceberg or manufacturers default

Answer 1

The International Ice Patrol (www.uscg.mil/LANTAREA/IIP/home.html -) was set up by the North Atlantic shipping nations after the Titanic accident.........it's been mostly a US Caost Guard show over the years.

Below is aquote from the IIP web site:
"The IIP cannot entirely prevent such accidents, but there have been only approximately 100 collisions on the Grand Banks during the 90 years since its inception, compared with 350 in the 90 years before. Prior to 1914 there were 3,100 fatalities, compared to 13 since, and only four of these were related to transatlantic shipping, as opposed to local fishing vessels. The last was in 1928 when the Montrose collided with a berg; ice from the impact fell and killed two men on deck. No collision has ever occurred outside the IIP’s Limits of All Known Ice."

also in the web site is the fact that only 5 ships have sunk since the Titanic because of hitting ice......

Answer 2

Ships Sunk By Icebergs

Answer 3

That number is proabably too large to imagine. I mean think of it enough ships must have sunk to have ice burg warnings and patrol system set up even in this day in age. Manufacturers defaults are even larger. I am sure every design has had some faults not caught until a tragedy. If we are talking throughout history the number may well be 100,000 ships or plus. Most ships that have sunk have been attributed to manufactores defaults and changes have been made.
