Titanic 2:19 AM 15 April 1912


The stern begins to slide into the ocean, in one minute the Titanic will be gone, leaving more than 1,500 people to freeze to death in the cold North Atlantic waters.

All that will be left of the Titanic will be her life boats, which the Carpathia will deliver to the pier Titanic was supposed to tie up to. Then the Carpathia will continue to the Cunnard dock, where Titanic’s surviving passengers will leave their rescuer.

We would like to thank you for sharing this sad memorial with us. Our guest author BG Burdette will have our last post, where we will end with a memorial service, led by Dr. Robert Ballard, for those lost aboard the Titanic.

Next week will be our article on Dr. Robert Ballard.

Thank you and may God bless you and keep you safe.

Titanic 12:25 AM 15 April 1912


Since striking the iceberg the engineers and their men have worked diligently to keep up with the incoming water. Now they can do no more than slow Titanic’s sinking, Titanic will sink.

With this new and dreaded information, Captain Smith orders the lifeboats to be loaded and lowered away, women and children first.

Titanic begins sending distress signals with the corrected position 41 degrees 46 minutes North, 50 degrees 17 minutes West.

Carpathia hears the Titanic distress call.
