On the
night of
Sunday 14 April 1912, the sea was flat calm, the sky clear and
moonless, and the temperature was dropping towards freezing. In such
conditions, sea ice is very hard to spot. At 11.40pm the lookout sounded the
alarm and telephoned the bridge saying "Iceberg, right ahead." The
warning came too late to avoid the iceberg and Titanic struck it less than 40
seconds later.
And here are some snapshots of the party.
