Is it true that icebergs endanger ships, as the 1912 sinking of the Titanic after striking one showed?
Yes. Multiple independent reference and peer-reviewed sources confirm that the Titanic struck an iceberg on 14 April 1912 and sank, and one source notes ships have sunk due to icebergs before and after. The evidence directly supports the claim that icebergs endanger ships, as the Titanic disaster showed.
