THE REST OF THE STORY The Olympic, Titanic's sister ship, received a distress signal from the stricken vessel on April 14, 1912, at 11 PM New York time. Among other things, Titanic's wireless operator told the Olympic: "We have struck an ice berg." The ship's location, at that moment, was reported as "41.46 N 50 14 W." Image of Marconigram online, courtesy National Museums Northern Ireland. Archibald Gracie had gone to bed early that night. He planned to work out in the gym first thing in the morning. He testified: I was awakened in my stateroom at 12 o’clock. The time, 12 o’clock, was noted on my watch, which was on my dresser, which I looked at promptly when I got up. At the same time, almost instantly, I heard the blowing off of steam, and the ship’s machinery seemed to stop. Did the Titanic keep steaming ahead - resuming her course - after she struck the iceberg? Did she stop and start again? Does that explain why there was adifference of 13 nautical miles from her first "CQD" (often, but wrongly, referred to as "Come quick danger") and her finalresting place? At least one author, relying on the hearing transcripts and thirty years of research, believes so.

  • “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W
    “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W. Baldwin I The White Star liner Titanic, largest ship the world had ever known, sailed from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York on April 10, 1912. The paint on her strakes was fair and bright; she was fresh from Harland and Wolff’s Belfast yards, strong in the strength of her forty-six thousand tons of steel, bent, hammered, shaped, and riveted through the three years of her slow birth. There was little fuss and fanfare at her sailing; her sister ship, the Olympic—slightly smaller than the Titanic— had been in service for some months and to her had gone the thunder of the cheers. But the Titanic needed no whistling steamers or shouting crowds to call attention to her superlative qualities. Her bulk dwarfed the ships near her as longshoremen singled up her mooring lines and cast off the turns of heavy rope from the dock bollards. She was not only the largest ship afloat, but was believed to be the safest. Carlisle, her builder, had given her double bottoms and had divided her hull into sixteen watertight compartments, which made her, men thought, unsinkable. She had been built to be and had been described as a gigantic lifeboat. Her designers’ dreams of a triple-screw giant, a luxurious, floating hotel, which could speed to New York at twenty-three knots, had been carefully translated from blueprints and mold loft lines at the Belfast yards into a living reality. The Titanic’s sailing from Southampton, though quiet, was not wholly uneventful.

Unfortunately on the night of April 14, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank early the next morning, losing many lives. The loss of life made Titanic one of the worst maritime accident in history. Originally having over 2,200 passengers and crew on board only about 700 survived; most of the survivors being from the upper class.
