The direction in which some of the lifeboats rowed away from the ship towards the light on the horizon is also indicative of the Titanic having pointed in a northern direction.
"Ismay's Evidence in my view indicates that Titanic was swing a bit faster than those who rely on Rowe alone would have us believe"
The main difference between Ismay's observation and Rowe's, is that Rowe was helping to fire the rockets and was carefully observing the vessel, while Ismay was not. The observation that the ship was pointing North does not rely on Rowe alone, nor does the statement that she did not turn around much.
