13. First Officer William McMaster Murdoch
He ordered the ship to turn, but it was too large to do so in time. If the ship would have collided head on it would have possibly survived the crash. The theory is that because of the size and timing of the sighting that the ship sank because of where the iceberg hit and not due to the fact that the Titanic hit an iceberg.
When the iceberg hit the Titanic, it crushed two panels that were protecting many of the watertight sections of the ship. This is what allowed the water to flow into the ship so easily. If they would have plowed through the iceberg, the ship would have had some dings and scratches but would have most likely survived without any significant damage.
