Does anyone here have any evidence about 3rd class passengers playing with ice on the well deck? I menaged to find only information about people who supposedly saw it, but none accounts by their hand. The scene on the well deck was brefiely mentioned in the night to remeber. Lord wrote that...

Hello, reading about the sinking has gotten me curious about that. Did smith do that to keep ismay informed? Considering how many passengers seemed to think there was oging to be ice, I wonder if ismay wouldn't have guessed himself orknew without getting the warning Thanks for your answers!

Everyone knows the tragic story of the Titanic; it’s the subject of numerous documentaries and a 1997 feature film starring Leonard di Caprio and Kate Winslet. The Titanic was a beautiful ship that advertisers said was unsinkable. However, the tragic truth was quite the opposite. Throughout the...

Water stretches as far as the eye can see, and the air is chilled. The ocean’s surface is studded with memorial wreaths as the shadow of a fixed-wing plane passes just ahead. This is the sight of the famous sinking of the Royal Mail Ship Titanic. The ship met its tragic fate at the hands of an...

There are several accounts of ice being seen in the well deck. This has bothered me for quite some time. After all, if the ice supposedly came from the iceberg, then the iceberg needed to tower above (at least) the well deck. For this claim to be accurate, it would require a section of ice...

Soon after the collision a number of survivors saw a large volume of ice on the forward well deck which they estimated was several tons in volume. Yet Boxhall did not notice this from the boat deck, and after he inspected the decks for damage he found a white powdering of ice just within the...

Does anyone have a diagram plotting the route taken by Titanic compared to the positions of ice reported by various other ships. This would be really useful to see. Best regards, Ajmal

Hi all, Does anyone know if there was icevfield between Titanic and Californian? If there was then the Californian would have had to navigate through the gaps in 5he ice, break through it etc. Surely it would have been probably unlikely Californian would have got to Titanic to have been able to...

Does anyone know how much ice actually fell on the deck and if the weight of it caused the ship to list to starboard? From the Titanic Inquiry survivors said: Mr. Lucas Q - How much ice was there on the deck there? A - I suppose, about a couple of tons. Mr. Buley Q - I believe, after the...

In 1894, Henry Parsell, commander of White Star's then-flagship Majestic I, testified before a joint Board of Trade/Admiralty committee on floating derelicts. In a brief diversion from derelicts, the following exchange took place: 666. Have you ever struck ice when your vessels crossed?---No...

I always thought that, though the bridge watch were aware of the presence of ice, the ship steamed ahead at 22kts right up to the impact. In his "Chronology — Sinking of S.S. TITANIC" (available on this site), David G. Brown lists the following events: 2256 (Bridge time): First sighting of ice...

This is the grounding theory on steroids. The newly found hull pieces are intact except for a slight downward deformation. This deformation could have been caused by pressure on the hull as Titanic plowed through the underwater ice of the iceberg. In order to remain intact however, the hull...

I had a revelation the other day, when I spilled a glass of ice tea. It happened to fall against something that held the huge quantity of ice cubes in place at the opening, and it was tipped over for a couple of seconds, and I only lost about 1 inch of tea. I got to thinking about whether the...

Hi All, Titanic Branson is actually hosting an ice sculpture competition on January 13, 2007. Does anyone recall when I asked, in jest, about getting ice sculptures in Branson a while back? I can't find the thread, and the "regular" Branson thread is closed - I remembered them being the...

How long was Titanic steaming through Ice filled regions before encountering the Iceberg? Although the Exact time will never be known, my estimate would be Forty Minutes to Two Hours. This is based on testimony from Lightoller, Jewls, Symons, Fleet, and Lee. Although None of them in testimony...

I was wondering... Does anyone know if Captain Smith had encountered ice/icebergs on any of his previous voyages? I know he had done the New York route before but possibly at a different time of year. Please Help! Any references regarding this question would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Was Titanic going full speed in an Field Ice and areas w/ lots of Icebergs? if we look at chart 1 from the senate investigation Prepared by Captain Knap that appears to be the case. Link to chart one prepared by Knap http://www.titanicinquiry.org/images/charts/Chart1.gif other charts...
