7. Last boat floating
This picture was taken on the 15th of April 1912, and it was the last lifeboat that was put to sea. I can’t even imagine what those people felt on that night.
Maybe they were relieved that they got off the ship, or maybe they were terrified because their husbands or other family members perished.
This tragedy marked the lives of too many people, and the survivors hardly spoke about what happened.
There weren’t enough boats for everybody on board, and the RMS Carpathia saw the signal too late. They arrived after the Titanic sank. To be more specific, one hour and forty minutes after the Titanic saw the bottom of the sea. Horrible!

I know that I died on the Titanic. At age 10 or so, I voraciously read everything I could about the doomed liner – and felt an intense connection. I was fascinated with some of the stories of the passengers. Two newlywed couples from my area, Deephaven, MN were on the Titanic. I can’t recall the couples’ names but one young groom commandeered a life boat, as he had experience sailing, on my beloved Lake Minnetonka!
About 23 years ago, there was a Titanic exhibit at the Science Museum in St. Paul, Minnesota. I cried, viewing items that were brought to the surface: clothing, eye glasses, china, bottles of wine, etc. We were given a name at the beginning of the tour. Of course, I was one of those who perished.
I’ve had many readings, to glean, who was I on this ship. Always felt that I was in third class, can’t imagine the terror, of not being allowed to get to higher ground. The last reading I had was that I was a woman in my late teens, 1st class, who gave up my seat on a life boat, for a third class mother and child. That makes my altruistic heart happy. However, I will not know the truth, until I’m on the other side.
I think naming an ocean liner Titanic, is a HORRIBLE idea!! and, I’ll never partake of an ocean cruise – need to see land.
Fifty thousand dishes on the menu? What?
And yes the pictures dining room was probably for first class only but the other classes had very good dining facilities, even the lowest class had better than on any earlier ships.
The lifeboats were likely not filled because when they first started getting loaded, people did not really believe the ship was sinking and nobody realized that if you didn’t get in a lifeboat you were doomed.
If another ship came by right after it sank to take that photo why didn’t they rescue them I know it’s just a movie but in the movie the closest ship was said to be 4 hours away.
WHAT A SAD STORY:
I AGREE WITH THE CONCEPT THAT IT WOULD NOT HAVE SUNKEN HAD IT HIT THE ICEBERG HEAD ON !
Why Titanic intered into circle of the icebergs’ danger? Who traces this idiotcy?
When I was a young waiter in a Boston Hotel, I was assigned to wait on a very small group of Ladies, who were members of the “Survivors of the Titanic” luncheon. There were 5 or 6 very old, distinguished ladies who were very nice. I had no idea of the significance at that time, but I will never forget it. Gary
and leave the Titanic there in it’s watery grave
and leave the 6 million dollars of stuff there for it belongs to the ones who died
and the money with inflation is not really worth it
and if you do take it you will be cursed the rest of your life
great pics and sad story but it will always be remembered
We should all pray for the lost souls and hope they did not suffer for long.
A few moments of carelessness? I watched a doc on it, and they were issued warnings repeatedly for hours! They bought into the bs that it was “unsinkable” It goes beyond a disaster It is a travesty!
