The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1,316 passengers and crew of 891.

The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense walk of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint that no one though that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1,500 lives were lost.

1912年4月14日，一個平靜的夜晚，沒有一絲風。如果有的話，船員們會發現海浪拍打著冰山一角。泰坦尼克號以22.3節的極快速度穿過黑暗冰冷的海面。史密斯船長接到附近許多船隻的冰塊報告後，命令守望者仔細觀察。
這是一個溫暖的冬天，冰山比平常南漂更遠。但泰坦尼克號上的船員找不到雙筒望遠鏡，英文唯一的雙筒望遠鏡是由第二名警官鎖在櫃子裡的，而那位保管櫃子鑰匙的二副最後並沒有上船，值班人員不得不用肉眼觀察。
當時是23點40分，瞭望員弗雷德裡克·弗利特發現在遠處有一張“兩張桌子”的深色照片，照片很快就變高了。他從橋上敲了三下，搶過了電話。“前面有一座冰山!”。接電話的六副穆迪，通知了旁邊的人默多克。
默多克立即下令開火:“所有引擎減速!”，螺旋槳反向。僅僅過了37秒，瞭望員就發現冰山撞到了船的右舷。大副隨即下令左滿舵、全船推進器緊急倒退二個指令。後來證實第一個命令是一個致命的錯誤，就在他下令37秒後，泰坦尼克號因為太大，速度太快，無法停下來而撞上冰山。
