What you see in that video is a vessel approaching at a slight angle that clearly swung to starboard (to the right) moments before her bow struck the starboard side quay.
Yes that's true, but if you care to look closely, you will see the Captain or Pilot on the starboard wing of the bridge. Keep watching him.
The ship is obviously under port helm. She seems to those on the bridge to be coming round nicely and being lined-up for a smooth entry.; her starboard side is closing with the quay wall.
Suddenly, at 1 minute 29 seconds into the video, her right shoulder contacts the quay wall. What is the effect on the person on the bridge? Before this moment, he was moving with the ship to the left hand side of the screen; suddenly he moves in the opposite direction...to the right and away from the quay. Instead of the angle between the quay decreasing, it increases for another 38 seconds until the bow comes round to port and the contact with the starboard side is broken. Meantime, the bow was crushing the 'Mule' at the bottom of the ramp
Are you telling me and everyone else on here that when
Titanic contacted that iceberg, it had absolutely no effect on her forward progress or her orientation?
Your position for the debris is based on the evidence of Captain Lord
" The position where I left the wreckage was 41º 33' N., 50° 1' W.". and
' Can you give us your noon observations? A: - Yes; 41.33 N. and 50.9 W.
Tell me something. Sam; why break a habit of a
"Titanic Lifetime"? Why accept Lord's position in this instance yet deny it when considering his 10-21pm position the previous evening?
In fact, the position of the south extremity did not change over the 24 hours covering the disaster. Additionally, every vessel in that area including the
Carpathia and Mount Temple would have been seriously affected by a 1.4 knot south setting a current. More to the point, there is no way on God's green acres you, or anyone else including the mighty Hichens could have turned the ever slowing
Titanic's bows through that current. Even if such a miracle did happen... what do you think would most certainly happen to the ship's orientation when she finally stopped? I think you should go back to the drawing board, Sam.
