How did the John Gilpin manage a complete successful evacuation from a sinking ship in iceberg territory in 1857?

Most shipping in iceberg territory post 60s will have had radar, that will make everything much safer. Still doesn’t explain that long gap after Titanic, maybe captains were just more careful after that famous event?

Yeah, they were probably a bit careful.
