I'm a little confused over collapsible D. I've read that it was the last boat lowered but the times for collapsible A and B are after the 2.05am time for D. Can anyone explain this for me or have i just got my info wrong,

Thanks.

Tom. Collapsibles A and B were tied to the roof of the officer's quarters, while Collapsibles C and D were were kept alongside the davits for boats 1 and 2 respectively. A and B were never really launched. They floated off the sinking ship with B having overturned while trying to get it down from the roof.
