Inquiries conducted in both Great Britain and the [[United States]] determined a number of factors which contributed to the loss of the ship and passengers.  The official hearings in the [[United States]] were initially conducted in what is now called the "Kennedy Caucus Room" in the Russell Senate Building, and was the first of many famous congressional hearings held in that room.<ref>https://www.cop.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Caucus_Room.htm</ref>  Public interest was so great in the hearing that had to be moved to a more controllable location.

The official investigations were taken over by pro-regulation types who saw only big government solutions, rather than determining the true causes of the loss of life.  The investigations embraced a theory of a boat-long gash from an iceberg that was disproven decades later when the wreckage was found.  The lack of full use of the lifeboats that were available was barely noticed by the biased, pro-regulation investigators.
