Not to mention the cumulative years I’ve spent traveling the roads without a single iceberg in sight but somehow the Titanic finds one within a week of leaving port (and at night, no less)? Color me skeptical.

I’ve been in the navy for 15 years. I’ve never seen an iceberg floating anywhere.

This is a genuinely good point, what are the chances of hitting an Iceberg on a trip from England to America? It has to be astronomically High, right?

For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.

Has the shipping lanes changed since then?
I’d imagine that they went further north back then to be closer to land and help if something happened (obviously didn’t help much in this case though)
