Which is quite plausible given that they actually did have a lot of trouble with the equipment, even on the maiden voyage. This is not surprising considering that this tech was very new and still somewhat delicate and unreliable technology, the very first transmissions having only taken place about 15 years before the Titanic sailed.I think the easiest way to make it worse would be some sort of wireless failure. Titanic would send no distress signal, and no one would know when or where it foundered. There might be some estimates once lifeboats and debris are found, but the parameters will be much wider than they were.
