So are we agreed then on an average speed of 14 knots over the distance? Is your argument now just speculation that Carpathia \\\"could have reached 17.5 knots for a few minutes\\\"?
I think I\\\'ve more than justified my compromise position. The claimed speed of 17.5 knots demonstrably \\\'\\\'has\\\'\\\' been questioned by Titanic researchers, whether you agree with it or not. Meanwhile you\\\'ve offered no compromise and insisted on prolonging the argument.
PS. That basic maths is exactly how the 17 knots theory was arrived at in the first place. 58 miles in 3 hours 25 mins = 17 knots. Rostron then just upped it to a peak of 17.5.

You may know something about steam engines, but you know less about ships. Ship speed is not only about power but hull form (beam, draft etc) and hull resistance. Those two factors make overloading the boilers a moot point, because they work against the ship and simply prevent it going any faster without an \\\'\\\'enormous\\\'\\\' increase in power. Going from 14-17.5 knots would have meant Carpathia having to double its power output. Telling the stokers to shovel harder wouldn\\\'t make any difference.
