10th APRIL 1912 RMS TITANIC

 

Gambar : Peristiwa Tenggelamnya Kapal Titanic Pada Peristiwa 10 April 1912


Titanic Memang Ditakdirkan untuk Tenggelam, Inilah Buktinya


Deskripsi : 

Semua orang tahu kisahnya: Titanic "kapal yang tak dapat tenggelam" menabrak gunung es. Tragedi ini memang terjadi lebih dari 100 tahun yang lalu. Meskipun satu abad telah berlalu, Titanic tetap menjadi kecelakaan kapal tenggelam paling terkenal dalam sejarah. Titanic menggambarkan bagaimana kegagalan teknologi sering kali berasal dari serangkaian kesalahan langkah, kegagalan kecil, dan nasib sial dibandingkan satu kesalahan besar. Bagaimana kalau Titanic tenggelam zaman sekarang, apakah skenarionya akan berbeda? Berlangganan Sisi Terang https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSg-...

Hari ini 109 tahun yang lalu, RMS Titanic berlepas untuk pelayaran sulungnya dari Southampton, England.

Kapal penumpang milik White Star Line sepanjang 269.1 meter dan selebar 28.2 meter itu, yang merupakan kapal terbesar pernah dibina pada ketika itu, berlepas pada tengahari Rabu dan dijadual tiba di New York pada pagi 17 April 1912.

Dari pelabuhan Southampton, Titanic membawa 920 penumpang sebelum singgah di Cherbourg, Perancis dan Queenstown (kini Cobh), Ireland. 2,224 penumpang dan kru berada di atas Titanic sebelum ia meneruskan perjalanan merentas Atlantik.

TItanic dibina sebagai simbol kemewahan terunggul, dilengkapi gimnasium, perpustakaan, kolam renang, restoran dan kabin mewah. Dengan teknologi tercanggih, Titanic diyakini oleh pereka dan kaptennya bahawa ia takkan karam.

Namun pada 14 April, selepas empat hari berlayar, Titanic menghentam aisberg pada 11.40 malam, menyebabkan sisi badannya yang berada di bawah paras air robek dan mendedahkan 5 daripada 16 bahagian kedap airnya - ia hanya mampu menanggung 4 kebocoran untuk selamat.

Kesemua yang berada di atas kapal tidak bersedia dengan keadaan tersebut, dan sayangnya Titanic hanya membawa 20 bot keselamatan yang hanya mampu membawa tidak sampai separuh daripada jumlah keseluruhan penumpangnya.

Air semakin banyak memasuki kapal dan ia mula tenggelam secara menegak, akhirnya Titanic terpatah dua sebelum karam sepenuhnya ke dasar laut Atlantik Utara pada jam 2.20 pagi, bersama lebih seribu penumpang dan kru yang masih berada di atasnya.

Dua jam selepas Titanic tenggelam, barulah kapal RMS Carpathia, yang mendapat mesej kecemasan daripada Titanic selepas ia melanggar aisberg, tiba ke lokasi. Hanya 705 orang terselamat daripada tragedi karam yang dianggap paling dahsyat dalam sejarah itu.

T I T A N I C | 111th Anniversary. April 10th 1912: Maiden Voyage.

On this day 111 years ago, the Titanic begins her maiden voyage. From 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., passengers board the ship. The large number of Third Class passengers meant they were the first to board, with First and Second Class passengers following up to an hour before departure. Stewards showed them to their cabins, and First Class passengers were personally greeted by Captain Smith on boarding.

At noon, Titanic leaves the dock, 922 passengers were recorded as having embarked at Southampton. Four hours after Titanic left Southampton, she arrived at Cherbourg and was met by Nomadic and Traffic. 274 more passengers boarded Titanic, and 24 left aboard the tenders to be conveyed to shore.

The process was completed within only 90 minutes and at 8 p.m. Titanic weighed anchor and left for Queenstown.

T I T A N I C | 111th Anniversary.

April 15th 1912..........

On this day 111 years ago (April 15), Shortly after midnight, the Squash court, 32 feet above keel, was awash. The majority of the boilers had been shut down, and huge clouds of steam roared out of the relief pipes secured to the sides of the funnels. Smith ordered the lifeboats to be uncovered and mustered the crew and passengers. There was only enough room for 1,178 people out of an estimated 2,227 on board, if every boat was filled to capacity. Between 12:10 am and 1:50 am, several crew members on Californian saw what is thought to be a tramp steamer's lights. Rockets were also observed, but no great concern was taken. Numerous ships have heard the Titanic's wireless distress signals and many were on their way to assist, including the Cunard liner Carpathia, under the command of Arthur Rostron some 58 miles southeast of the Titanic's position. At 12:15 am, Wallace Hartley and his band began to play lively ragtime tunes in the 1st Class lounge on "A" Deck. They would continue to almost the end, and every member of the band would be lost.

At 12:25 am Smith gave the order to start loading lifeboats with women and children, and this order was particularly followed to the letter by 2nd Officer Lightoller. By 12:45 am, starboard lifeboat No. 7 was safely lowered away with only 28 people, while it could carry 65. At about this same time, the first distress rocket was fired by Quartermaster George Rowe, under the direction of Boxhall, from the bridge rail socket on the Boat Deck by the No. 1 emergency cutter. They soared 800 feet in the air and exploded into 12 brilliant white stars, along with a loud report. Boxhall sees a vessel approach and then disappear, despite attempted to contact her via Morse lamp. By 1:15 am, water had reached Titanic's name on the bow, and she now listed to port. By that time, seven boats had been lowered, but with far fewer passengers and crew than rated capacity. The tilt of the deck grew steeper and boats now began to be more fully loaded, with starboard No. 9 lowered at 1:20 am with some 56 people aboard. The Titanic had now developed a noticeable list to starboard. By 1:30 am signs of panic begin to appear as port No. 14 was lowered with 60 people, including 5th Officer Lowe. Lowe was forced to fire three warning shots along the ship's side to keep a group of unruly passengers from jumping into the already full boat.

Wireless distress calls tapped out by Phillips reached desperation status, with messages such as, "we are sinking fast" and, "cannot last much longer". Smelting magnate Ben Guggenheim, along with his manservant Victor Giglio returned to their cabins and changed into evening dress explaining, "We've dressed up in our best and are prepared to go down like gentlemen". By 1:40 am most of the forward boats had left and passengers began to move to the stern area. J. Bruce Ismay leaved on collapsible "C" with 39 aboard, the last starboard boat to be lowered. The forward Well Deck was awash. By 2:00 am water was only 10 feet below the Promenade Deck. At about this time, Hartley chose the band's final piece 'Nearer, My God, to Thee'. Hartley had always said it would be the hymn he would select for his own funeral. With more than 1,500 still on board, and just 47 positions available in Collapsible "D", Lightoller instructed the crew to lock arms and form a circle around the boat, permitting only women and children to pass through the circle. At 2:05 am, "D" began its downward journey with 44 people out of a rated capacity of 47.

The sea was pouring on to the forward end of "A" Deck, and Titanic's tilt grew steeper. At that same time, Smith went to the wireless cabin and released Phillips and Bride telling them that they have "done their duty". On the way back to his bridge, Smith told several crewmen "It's every man for himself". His last thoughts were likely of his beloved wife Eleanor and his young daughter Helen.

As Walter Lord described the scene in "A Night to Remember", "with the boats all gone, a curious calm came over the Titanic. The excitement and confusion were over and the hundreds left behind stood quietly on the upper decks. They seemed to cluster inboard, trying to keep as far away from the rail as possible". The stern began to lift clear of the water, and passengers moved further and further aft. At about 2:17 am Titanic's bow plunged under while hundreds of 2nd and 3rd Class passengers heard confession from Father Thomas Byles gathered at the aft end of the Boat Deck.

At 2:18 am a huge roar was heard as all moveable objects inside Titanic crashed towards the submerged bow. The lights blinked once and then went out, leaving Titanic visible only as a black silhouette against the starlit sky. Many were convinced that the hull broke in two between the 3rd and 4th funnels. The ship achieved a completely perpendicular position and remained there for several minutes. At 2:20 am she settled back slightly and slid down to the bed of the North Atlantic some 13,000 feet below.

Almost at once, the night was punctuated with the cries of the survivors, growing in number and anguish until in Thayer's words they became "a long continuous wailing chant". The ghastly noise continued for some time, but mercifully many would freeze to death rather than drown. The cries even affected the hardened Lightoller who heard the "heartrending, never-to-be-forgotten sounds" from overturned Collapsible "A". Later, he confessed that he had never allowed his thoughts to dwell on those terrible cries. At 3:30 am, the Carpathia's rockets were sighted by those in the lifeboats and at 4:10 am Titanic's No. 2 lifeboat was picked up. By 5:30 am, after being advised by the Frankfort of Titanic's loss, the Californian made for the disaster site and arrived about three hours later, just as the last boat, No. 12, was rescued by the Carpathia. True to form, Lightoller was the last survivor to come on board. At 8:50 am the Carpathia left the searching for survivors to other ships and headed for New York. She carried only 705 survivors. An estimated 1,522 souls were lost. J. Bruce Ismay sent the following message to the White Star Line's New York offices: "Deeply regret advise you Titanic sank this morning after collision with iceberg, resulting in serious loss of life. Full particulars later."




With the dawn on Sunday, April 14th - 111 years ago today - Titanic sees what will be her last sunrise. The day passes in tranquility for the passengers, some of whom attend religious services in all three classes. In the wireless room, however, operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride are working through a backlog of messages held up while the apparatus was broken down earlier in the voyage. As they work to clear the pile of messages from passengers, they take in several new ice warnings. What happens to some of these warnings has been a matter of great interest ever since.

By 10pm, most passengers have gone to bed, are enjoyed some last drinks and cigars in the smoking room and the lounge, or are otherwise indoors. The weather has gotten bitterly cold throughout the day, making a turn on the promenade an unsavory proposition for even the heartiest of passengers.

High in the crow’s nest on the foremast, Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee are just a bit more than 20 minutes from the salvation of a warm bunk and some time off duty after two hours peering into the dark, moonless, motionless night. Suddenly, Fleet sees something looming in the distance directly ahead of the Titanic. He pulled the cord on the bell three times as he lifted the telephone that connected him to the bridge. Sixth Officer James Moody calmly asked what Fleet had seen, to which he responded “Iceberg, dead ahead!” Moody thanked Fleet and reported the sighting to First Officer William Murdoch, who instantly issued a series of orders.

Murdoch, with only 37 seconds to take action, called for Quartermaster Robert Hichens to turn the wheel “hard-a-starboard,” which, due to the Titanic’s tiller system of steering meant she would effectively turn to port. He also had the engine telegraphs rung to “All stop,” not the “Full astern” that has been portrayed on film. Murdoch’s efforts were in vain, however, as Titanic, at least from the perspective of the lookouts on the mast and officers on the bridge, gently grazed along the berg with her starboard side. Below, however, the damage was much more dire.

While most of the passengers and some of the crew thought that the slight jar and the stopping of the engines in mid-ocean meant the ship had thrown a propeller blade or suffered limited damage that would equate to little more than a delay and a subsequent trip back to Belfast for repairs, the reality was grave indeed. 

Titanic, designed to float in the worst situations that her builders could conceive, was hopelessly holed in five compartments. After an inspection of the damage, her stricken designer, Thomas Andrews, signed the ship’s death warrant. “I give her an hour and half, maybe two. Not much more.” She would slightly exceed his prediction, but Titanic was doomed.

The next crisis to confront Captain Smith, the first such dire crisis in his nearly 40 years at sea, would be what to do with his human cargo. As he surely knew, Titanic’s twenty lifeboats could hold barely half of the number of souls aboard. 

With that in mind, Smith ordered the boats to be uncovered and swung out. He then tasked Phillips and Bride with sending a call for assistance to any ships nearby. 

The race to save Titanic’s passengers and crew, a race which would come up sorely short early the next morning, was on. 

Titanic had just over two hours to live.

Titanic Live: April 1st, 2023, midnight (GMT) - Hello friends! April is finally here again, and with it our fourth annual live presentation of Titanic month in full hosted by this page. A great number of talented and knowledgeable people have been very kind to lend advice or correction here, and I thank them very much for their help. Included here will be an increasingly long list of credits and further resources, and I advise anyone interested to take a look. It has been a lot of fun to put it together - just a few notes before we begin:

As a format, Titanic Live will be presented in much the same way other material is here, primarily, with photos and stories. There will, however, be a number of secondary resources, such as film clips, sounds, suggested reading, etc. They are all vetted and much recommended.

As much of our readership is represented by friends all over the world, our systems of measurement have been updated for the first time this year to include both metric and imperial, the latter being presented in parentheses. Likewise, we will be referring to temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit (C°/F°).

Our fourth annual live presentation this year will begin based on Greenwich Mean Time to correspond to a more true linear reconstruction, with initial focus on IST (Belfast) and slowly progressing westward with the course of the ship as the month goes on. By the end of the month we will be based evenly in GMT and EST (US). Much new information has been included, which I hope both our new and long standing members will enjoy. 

Corrections are always much appreciated when something may not be as clear as it seems, and the goal here is always accuracy. Please feel free to send a private message. This includes alterations to correct the photo credits if needed, which is also very important to me. I’ve done my best to get them right.

It has been a lot of fun occasionally sharing stories about subjects other than Titanic, and I’m hoping that can continue a bit here, especially after the month is over. Look for the Titanic Live: designation to follow the anniversary timeline specifically. 

Finally, I believe it is important to keep up talk on subjects we care about deeply in the context of our own times. It is among the most important reasons that we look forward to sharing this anniversary month with everyone. If for any reason we need to pause this timeline in light of any current events, updates will be forthcoming - though this is unlikely at present.

Thank you all very much for your great questions, comments, and support, and very much looking forward to this 111th anniversary season.

Titanic Live: April 4th, 1912, 1.15 AM (GMT) - Titanic has arrived at the White Star Dock in Southampton, with harbor tugs Ajax, Hector, Neptune, Hercules and Vulcan maneuvering the liner backwards into place at Berth 44 just before 1.30 AM and facing her slightly to the southwest with her port side to the dock - a position allowing easy sailing on Wednesday the 10th. 

She will not move from this spot again (save for some minor repositioning during upcoming coaling operations) until she departs for her maiden voyage, six days from now.

Titanic Live: April 10th, 1912, 7.30 AM - Sailing day is finally here after a week of ceaseless efforts to prepare Titanic at Southampton. Most of the crew boards at this time, followed directly by an 8.00 AM crew muster, with employee health inspections carried out and several no-shows being replaced by those eagerly awaiting the opportunity at dockside. 

EJ Smith is seen here aboard Titanic (this view taken at Queenstown tomorrow, on the 11th of April) outside the officers' quarters on the liner’s starboard Boat Deck alongside Chief Purser Hugh McElroy, a fellow long time White Star veteran and recent transferee from Olympic. It is his duty this morning, along with his capable and well trained crew, to oversee and prepare for the boarding and well being of the more than 2,200 souls which will shortly be under his hand for the coming week at sea.

Wendesday, April 10th of 1912: Titanic sails from Southampton to Cherbourg.

Colorized by Steve Walker



Titanic Live: April 10th, 1912, early afternoon - As Titanic sails away from Southampton for the first and only time, a number of amateur photographers capture the departing new liner from shore, unmistakable in even century old grainy photos with her unique profile and superstructure. Several such photos have come up at auction in recent years, and a likely few still remain unseen and undiscovered to this day. 

These are the haunting last views from the port city of a ship carrying more than seven hundred of its natives among her crew, the majority of whom will sadly never see Southampton again.

Titanic Live: April 10th, 1912, 9.30 AM - Titanic's second and third class passengers begin boarding the liner, many arriving from London on a special LSWR boat train that has left Waterloo station at 7.30 AM. It is a varying array of perfect order and confusion both at dockside and below decks, with luggage marked and hauled aboard which is pulled from baggage cars by horse drawn carts, and with confused stewards leading large groups into deep areas of the vessel that often they themselves are not yet completely familiar with. In Second Class, a bit more order is seen. 

Pictured here is the Goodwin family of Wiltshire, traveling Third Class on Titanic on their way to Niagara Falls, New York. They, including infant son Sidney (not photographed here) will be among those boarding the liner at this time.

⚓️  111 years ago #OnThisDay 10 April 1912, passengers were boarding RMS Titanic. From 9:30 to 11:30 AM, second-and-third-class boat-trains arrived and passengers were boarding ship. At 11:30 first-class boat-train from London arrived at dockside. After that first-class passengers boarded the ship and were escorted to the cabins. In all, 923 passengers boarded Titanic at Southampton, 179 First Class, 247 Second Class and 494 Third Class.

April 10, 1912, Wednesday: By 8:30 that night, Titanic was ready to depart Cherbourg. She raised her anchor and turned north. Her lights sparkled against the night sky as she sailed back into the English Channel.

Here, 'A Last Vision of the Titanic by Night - An Impression at Cherbourg.'

This view gives an excellent impression of the vessel during her one and only visit to the French port, her hundreds of portholes produce a kind of shimmering glow upon the darkness of the surrounding water.

Titanic Live: April 11th, 1912, evening - Now well on her way from the ship’s last ever port of call, life aboard Titanic has begun to settle into a familiar onboard routine as she enters her second night at sea. A journey along the southern coast of Ireland and out beyond Daunt Rock where her engines are warmed up to just over 20 knots has brought her to the edge of the true North Atlantic by sunset today. Earlier this afternoon, a chance encounter with a French fishing trawler has seen Titanic steam by her so closely that water from the liner’s wake is splashed upon the deck of the smaller boat, and waves are exchanged between those on both trawler and Titanic’s bridge. 

Nearly nineteen hundred miles to the west, Canadian Pacific liner RMS Corsican has reported to other vessels nearby that she will be stopping for the evening on account of heavy fog and much drifting sea ice, though not much is made of it.

Titanic Live: April 11th, 1912, 2.00 PM - As Titanic sails away from Ireland for the last time, Third Class passenger Eugene Daly performs “Erin’s Lament” on his uilleann pipes at her stern.

Titanic Live: April 12th, 1912, morning - The 2,208 passengers and crew aboard Titanic awaken to her first full day on the open Atlantic. She is keeping a brisk pace, and by noon today will have already travelled nearly five hundred miles from Queenstown. The new liner will not be going for any speed records on this trip nor any planned in future, though her performance has so far met or exceeded expectation, and rumors of an early arrival on Tuesday night have persisted since the morning of sailing day. 

Though settled, the recent coal strike still weighs heavy on the minds of White Star managers, and in agreement with recent restrictions on usage Titanic’s speeds will be kept well below those of her initial crossing over from Belfast which capped out at just a pulse over to 23 knots. The Olympic class has not been designed to compete with rivals Cunard in swiftness in any case, and though an increase and further test of her speed is tentatively planned for this coming Monday or Tuesday, these are not to be record setting tests in any way - other than, of course, to compare with her eleven months senior sister. 

Further off to the west, other more troubling whispers are sparking around the airwaves, telling of an unusually active ice season, though Titanic has not been officially notified of any such danger just yet.

Titanic Live: April 12th, 1912, afternoon - As Carpathia steams east, several of those aboard document her voyage to the Mediterranean with handheld cameras, novelties still seldomly seen enough at this time that her captain Arthur Rostron makes note of which passengers are traveling with one. Here, members of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Hutchinson’s group on Carpathia pose for a photo near her starboard bridge in a rare peek into life aboard the liner during the days immediately preceding the upcoming rescue. This view is taken sometime between April 11th and April 14th on the very same decks upon which Titanic’s survivors will be walking in just under seventy-two hours. 

Among those with cameras aboard are the Fenwicks, the Ogdens, and seventeen year old Bernice Palmer, traveling with last year's Christmas present - a Kodak 2A Brownie.

Titanic Live: April 12th, 1912, 12.00 PM - Lunch is being served during Titanic's second full day at sea, and much talk is still of the wondrous new liner. Shipping lines of the early 20th Century developed devoted passenger followings, and the White Star Line was no exception. Naturally, some comparisons must be being made with Olympic, which sailed on her own maiden voyage in June of last year, and which has already carried many passengers and crew alike now aboard Titanic. 

Among the new surprises to those familiar with the older of the two sisters are the Cafe Parisian on B-Deck (pictured), two extended suites on the same level with their own private promenades, and a re-arranged Turkish Bath that echoes the successful sister version already sailing.

Titanic Live: April 12th, 1912, 11.00 AM - From the deck of aging steamer SS Etonian eighteen hundred miles west of Titanic, Captain W.F. Wood photographs this iceberg directly in the heart of the spring Atlantic shipping route. In his period notation written soon after the disaster, he describes the ice as “blue”, or recently turned over and relatively dark in color - thus hard to see at night. Conditions are unusual enough this season that several other views of similar drifting icebergs have already been published in shipping newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic during the early months of the year, though these up to now have remained notices of little consequence.

“Blue berg taken by Captain Wood SS Etonian on 12/04/12 in Lat 41°50N Long 49°50W Titanic Struck 14/04/12 and sank in three hours”

The inscribed coordinates places the ice pictured within 30 nautical miles of Titanic’s final position two days from now, on the evening of the 14th. It should be noted that there is no particular indication that this is in fact the very same iceberg that Titanic will encounter on Sunday evening, but it does illustrate well conditions further west at this time.

Titanic Live: April 13th, 1912, 11.00 PM - In Titanic’s Marconi Room, a short in a transformer tucked into the back corner of the Silent Room causes the ship’s wireless radio to go down for hours, with operators Phillips and Bride searching at length for the problem while private messages pile up. 

Company policy dictates that in the event of failure, operators should refrain from repairing equipment themselves, and instead should switch to the much less powerful emergency set until an official Marconi technician can perform the job on shore. Luckily for Titanic’s future survivors, the confident Phillips ignores this policy, eventually finding the source of the short and patching it up in just a matter of minutes once located. 

The Marconi equipment will be back up and running by 5.00 AM tomorrow, with a then huge back log of passenger traffic for the tired operators to get through.

Titanic Live: April 13th, 1912, late morning - An accidental coal fire that has been burning in Boiler Room 5 since before leaving Belfast is finally declared extinguished. Such fires are common aboard vessels at this time, caused primarily by spontaneous combustion or errant sparks from lit boilers, with coal embers sometimes smoldering for days under piles and in bunkers - as is the case aboard Titanic. In fact, the fire is more truly shoveled out than actually extinguished, a job which when finished reveals little more than burned away paint and a slight warping of the forward bulkhead inboard. 

It cannot be overstated that the coal fire - though more than a bit of a nuisance and certainly to be taken seriously - is definitively not believed by historical consensus to have contributed to the destruction of the vessel, nor did it in any way compromise her structural integrity, contrary to some recent dishonest and frankly irresponsible claims toward the opposite based on poor research. Any and all such claims have been meticulously and thoroughly discredited at length by an overwhelming majority of well respected historians on the subject.

Titanic Live: April 14th, 1912, 9.12 AM - Cunard liner RMS Caronia reports ice to Titanic, spotted during her eastbound journey from New York City to Liverpool. 

“Captain, 'Titanic.' West-bound steamers report bergs, growlers, and field ice in 42 degrees N., from 49 to 51 W. April 12. Compliments. Barr."

Titanic Live: April 14th, 1912, early afternoon - The air temperature outside drops throughout the day, accented by a particularly cold wind that drives most passengers indoors, though little seems to have been better there at times. 

Heating issues throughout the vessel have meant that temperatures in her public and private spaces alike have been uncomfortably low during much of the duration of the voyage, with some passengers (including Lucy Duff Gordon) describing wearing overcoats and furs indoors - while a few other rooms on the other hand become swelteringly hot.

Still, this is one of only a few complaints recorded during the trip so far, a lack thereof in truth an accomplishment in itself on the voyage of any transatlantic vessel so new.

More interesting ongoing shipboard talk among her passengers is of the liner’s speed - after what is perceived by several of those aboard as a rather disappointing run posted on Friday, she has made now her best miles yet this on voyage over the last twenty-four hours and there is every reason to believe that the run into Monday afternoon will be better still.

Titanic Live: April 14th, 1912, afternoon - Second Class passengers Esther Hart and daughter Eva write a letter home while escaping the cold of the day in the ship’s library. They are traveling to Winnipeg along with husband and father Benjamin Hart, and together intend to open a drug store there. Esther mentions in this letter an illness which has kept her in her cabin during most of the voyage, one seemingly, perhaps, brought on by immigration nerves, as she has been quite vocal about her dread of sailing aboard Titanic in the days before the voyage. Eva will go on to become one of Titanic’s most prominent survivors in her later years before her death in 1996, and this letter will sell at auction in 2014, having survived itself in the pocket of a sheepskin coat given to Esther by her husband later this evening.

“Onboard R.M.S. ‘Titanic’
Sunday afternoon, 191(2)

My Dear ones all, 

As you see it is Sunday afternoon and we are resting in the library after luncheon. I was very bad all day yesterday could not eat or drink and sick all the while, but today I have got over it. 

This morning Eva and I went to church and she was so pleased they sang “Oh God our help in ages past” that is her Hymn she sang so nicely. So she sang out loudly she is very bonny. She has had a nice ball and a box of toffee and a photo of this ship bought her today. Everybody takes notice of her through the Teddy Bear. 

There is to be a concert on board tomorrow night in aid of the Sailors’ Home and she is going to sing so am I. Well, the sailors say we have had a wonderful passage up to now. There has been no tempest, but God knows what it must be when there is one. This mighty expanse of water, no land in sight and the ship rolling from side to side is being wonderful. Tho they say this Ship does not roll on account of its size. Any how it rolls enough for me, I shall never forget it. 

It is very nice weather but awfully windy and cold. They say we may get into New York Tuesday night but we are really due early Wednesday morning, shall write as soon as we get there. This letter won’t leave the ship but will remain and come back to England where she is due again on the 26th. Where you see the letter all of a screw is where she rolls and shakes my arm. 

I am sending you on a menu to show you how we live. I shall be looking forward to a line from somebody to cheer me up a bit. I am always shutting my eyes and I see everything as I left it. I hope you are all quite well. Let this be an all round letter as I can’t write properly to all ‘till I can set my foot on shore again. We have met some nice people on board, Lucy, and so it has been nice so far. But oh the long, long days and nights. It’s the longest break I have ever spent in my life. 

I must close now with all our fondest love to all of you. 

From your loving Ess”

Charmingly, seven year old Eva writes below it: 

“heaps of love to all and kisses from Eva xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”

Titanic Live: April 14th, 1912, 11.00 PM - Titanic steams along at 22.5 knots into a dead calm evening. She is overseen on her bridge by officers Murdoch and Moody, with Boxhall nearby in the chart room where he has spent much of the evening working out the liner's position. A slight miscalculation made earlier by Second Officer Lightoller will mean his numbers are off by several miles. 

Also on duty are Quartermasters Robert Hichens (at the helm) and Alfred Olliver, who will be heading aft shortly to trim lamps on the vessel's raised compass platform. 

At the stern, Quartermaster George Rowe is keeping watch, while in the crow's nest, lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee are just at the halfway point of their shift - due to end at midnight.

The air temperature is hovering around 31°F (-0.5°C), the sea is 28°F (-2°C).

Sunday, April 14, 1912

It's 23:39 and as the Titanic steams at 22 knots, lookout Frederick Fleet high up in the crow's nest, see's the iceberg directly in their path. He quickly rings the Crow's Nest Bell three times, and quickly picks up the phone to contact the bridge. A moment later sixth officer James Moody answers the telephone. 'Yes what do you see?'
'Iceberg Right Ahead!' Replies Fleet.
First officer William Murdoch who is officer of the Watch sees the iceberg at almost the same time as lookout Fleet does and immediately orders quartermaster Robert Hitchens hard to starboard and orders the engines full Stern.
Just 38 seconds after Frederick Fleet first sighted the iceberg, the Titanic begins scrapes alongside busting her plates and letting in the icey cold water of the North-Atlantic. 
Ice from the burg falls on to the ship and soon third class Passengers are seen playing with it unaware the danger their all in.
Captain Smith rushes on to the bridge and asks what all the commotion was.

Titanic Live: April 14th, 1912, 11.39 PM - Peering into the darkness ahead of the ship, lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee suddenly see a looming shape, blacker than the horizon of the moonless sky. Three bells and a call to the bridge conveys the message to Sixth Officer Moody - “Iceberg right ahead”, answered with a quick “Thank you.”

First Officer Murdoch, who has spotted the ice simultaneously from the starboard bridge wing, orders the ship turned hard-a-starboard after signaling "All Ahead Stop" from the bridge telegraph. Quartermaster Robert Hichens turns the wheel, her engine telegraph dings in reply, and an agonizing thirty seven seconds elapse.

Titanic Live: April 14th, 1912, 11.40 PM - Titanic collides with the iceberg, opening up a series of holes along her starboard side that critically extend along her forward compartments, including an estimated twenty-four inches into Boiler Room 5. It has been calculated that perhaps as little as 1.2 square meters have been opened up to the sea, though at this time, immediate concern is for the handling of the vessel.

Murdoch now orders Titanic to come hard a-port to prevent both the stern of the ship and her propellors from striking the ice, the iceberg then disappearing off into the night just as quickly as it appeared.

The watertight doors are ordered closed.

RMS Titanic Real Time Sinking Remastered




Titanic Live: April 15th, 1912, 2.18 AM - Titanic's lights go out, flash, and then go out again forever as her electrical system fails. Nearly simultaneously, the dark shape of her hull continues rising against the sky until the stresses against it become too great and she breaks in two, sparks flying from metal contact and with several deck lights likely still glowing at her stern. 

Slowly, she rises upright again until she points nearly straight up just as she vanishes beneath the surface.

Titanic Live: April 16th, 1912, early morning - All doubt is gone now as the worst is confirmed, and Tuesday morning finds those who may have until now held on to some measure of hope or disbelief facing the news spread across every early edition the world over.

Titanic is indeed lost, and a tragically high number of those aboard have clearly gone with her.

Facsimile of original printed by the Boston Daily Globe, April 16th, 1912




Titanic Live: April 17th, 1912, late afternoon - By now, an insatiable public interest in the Titanic disaster has taken hold around the world, spurred on by both ceaseless reporting and the continuing worry over the fate of those known to be aboard her. Proving immediately popular are the few remaining postcards originally printed to advertise the new liner, the earliest of these sent still proudly proclaiming her “one of the largest vessels afloat at the present time”. The written messages, however, carry a very different feeling, such as this rather vague message (inset), expressed here today by a family member awaiting news:

London.E.C
5.30 PM
APL 17 12

Dear George,
Just a line to thank you for your letter, glad to see you are improving and hope your sister is better than she was last night. No more at present.
