Titanic's sinking angle

[Stephen Stanger]

Does anywhere research what angle the deck would have been at throughout the evening and how it increased (using the water as the horizontal and viewing from the port side) I looking for what it would have been at around 2am.

I can tell you the angle when she hit the iceberg was 1 deg and incresed 5.67 deg every 45 minutes until it broke in two where the stern rose to 78.967 deg

Thank you Raymond, that'll do nicely!

Do you know if The forward boat davits (life boats 1 3 5 7) were crushed by the funnel?

 

[Alex McLean]

I don't think so, but it could have happened. I was pretty sure though that the funnel fell forward and slightly to port (considering it nearly hit Lightoller and boat B). Keep in mind the the forward most davits for boats 1/C and 2/D remain.
Just my thoughts.

If I am not mistaken, is there not funnel piping stuck in the railing on the aft starboard corner of the forecastle? If so, this would indicate that the funnel or parts of it passed on the starboard side...
(The davits for 1 (aft), 3, 5 and 7 were all behind the funnel and therefore were out of line of the falling funnel)

Just an observation...
