At approximately 12 p.m. on April 10, 1912, the new Royal Mail Steamer _Titanic _, flagship of the White Star Line, cast off from Southampton, England, on her maiden voyage to New York. She stopped at Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland, picking up additional passengers and mail, as well to debark cross-channel passengers. Steaming west from Queenstown, she carried 2,208 passengers and crew - an eclectic mixture of Edwardian society. From the affluent first class, the likes of Astor, Straus
and Guggenheim
, to the largely
forgotten third class and crew, with names such as Kirkham, Sage
and Ward
- each with their
own unique story to tell. _Titanic's_ speed had been steadily increasing during the voyage as additional boilers were brought online, and on Sunday, April 14, the vessel was making approximately 21.5 knots. Throughout the day and into the night the temperature outside had been falling until some time shortly before the collision when it dipped below the freezingpoint.
At 11:40 p.m. Frederick Fleet, one of the
lookouts stationed in the crow's nest, noticed something in the distance. He rang the warning bell three times, signalling the bridge of an object directly ahead, and picked up the bridge-crow's-nest telephone. A terse exchange over the telephone effectively warned the bridge of the impending danger, however, the warning had come too late to avert a collision. First Officer William Murdochwas entering the
bridge from the starboard wing when the warning came and quickly ordered the ship's helm turned hard astarboard. He was hoping to maneuver _Titanic's_ bow away from the danger, then attempt to work the stern around but the iceberg was too close. The ship brushed along a submerged spar of the iceberg along her starboard side, opening several varying sized holes along her length an inrush of water. Thomas Andrews , the ship's designer from Harland and Wolff, informed Captain Smiththat the pumps were
incapable of keeping up with the amount of water entering the vessel and would only buy them some extra time. The crew began hastily uncovering and readying the lifeboats to evacuate the vessel. Being aware there was barely enough lifeboat accommodation for slightly more than half of those on board must have weighed heavily on the captain'smind.
At 2:20 a.m., two hours and forty minutes after the collision, the vessel broke in two and sank, taking with her over 1,500 lives. The Cunard Company's steamship _Carpathia_ arrived on the
disaster scene shortly after 4 in the morning. Her captain, ArthurHenry Rostron ,
expected to see _Titanic_, but was instead confronted with a lone green light, lying low on the water, one of _Titanic_ boats. As daylight crept over the disaster area, lifeboat after lifeboat was sighted as they closed in on the Carpathia's position. The following hours were expended embarking the survivors and retrieving what little remained of _Titanic_, her boats. Shortly after sunrise the Leyland steamer _Californian_, commanded by
Captain Stanley Lord, arrived. Rostron
requested that the _Californian_ continue searching the area for any survivors. He then turned _Carpathia_ west and steamed for New Yorkwith 705 survivors.
The world that morning began hearing news of the collision. Early stories of the disaster were often rushed and erroneous, relying on fragmented information coming from various stations listening to thetragedy unfold.
_Carpathia_ hadn't helped matters very much. Her Marconi operator,Harold Cottam ,
along with Harold Bridefrom _Titanic_,
began sending out lists of survivors and ignored requests for details of the disaster. During the following days question followed question with very few answers forthcoming. Both in America and England pressure rapidly built to determine the factors leading to thisdisaster.
