  3. The Sinking • On April 14 1912 during the night Titanic hit an iceberg. Around 2:10 am the steam rose out of the water exposing the propellers, and by 2:17 the waterline had reached the boat deck. The last two lifeboats floated of the deck and shortly later the forward funnel collapsed, crushing part of the bridge and people in the water.

  4. People on deck were scrambling towards the stern or jumping overboard in hopes of catching a lifeboat. The ship’s stern slowly rose in the air, and everything unsecured crashed down into the water. Shortly afterwards, the stress on the hull caused the Titanic to break apart . Final Moments
