Maximum speed was26 mph. One charge against the captain involved his lack of concern for speed given the icebergs were known to be nearby. The Titanic was purportedly traveling about 22 mph at the time of impact. Given its size (about 44,000 tons) the distance to stop the ship at that speed was miles long.
