Changes in safety practices after the sinking of the RMS Titanic (3 m) above the water line. After the "Titanic" sank, the bulkheads on other ships were extended higher to make the compartments fully watertight. Changes in safety practices after the sinking of the RMS Titanic The sinking of the RMS "Titanic" resulted in the following changes in maritime policy. Alexander Carlisle, Harland and Wolff's general manager and chairman of the managing directors, suggested that "Titanic" use a new, larger type of davit which could give the ship the potential to carry 48 lifeboats; this would have provided enough seats for everyone on board.

Wreck of the RMS Titanic previously unseen pieces of wreckage, and led to the documentary "Titanic's Final Moments: Missing Pieces". RMS Titanic Inc. mounted further expeditions to "Titanic" in 2004 and 2010, when the first comprehensive map of the entire debris field was produced. Two autonomous underwater vehicles – torpedo-shaped robots – repeatedly ran backwards and forwards across the debris field, taking sonar scans and over 130,000 high-resolution images. This enabled a detailed photomosaic of the debris field to be created for the first time, giving scientists a much clearer view of the dynamics of the ship's sinking. The expedition encountered difficulties: several hurricanes passed
