April 14th... a new day dawns...

Titanic starts the 3rd full day at sea,

It's a beautiful morning...

and Titanic is steaming ahead of schedule.

As the day progresses 

Titanic receives ice warnings.

Everyone enjoys the luxury voyage.

A wonderful day at sea. 

This is the last sunset that will be seen. 

The ice berg warnings are not given 

full consideration, since Titanic is,

after all... unsinkable.

As darkness falls...
Titanic steams ahead full speed.

In dangerous waters.

Into the darkness...

Everything is fine... until 11:40pm

The Mighty Ship Strikes and Iceberg.

Several factors contribute to the accident.

The calmness of the sea

The moonless night

The ships speed

No binoculars for the lookouts

The actions taken to avoid the collision 

And the rest is history...
