    Titanic’s Evasive Maneuvers

    I couldn't find a thread that encompasses the overall Evasive Maneuvers taken the night of April 14, 1912, at 11:40pm, so I created one. If there already is one I apologize. I thought I would share a paper that I've been working on for a long, long time, just never figured how I'd present it...

    Iceberg collision sequence

    There's a scene in the film shortly after the Titanic hits the iceberg in which Richard Basehart shows Clifton Webb the iceberg in the distance and Webb asks him "Did we hit it?".

    The Iceberg

    Once the iceberg was spotted, we know Murdoch ordered Hard-A-Starboard and the engines [Answer here, please] While the collision was taking place, did Murdoch port around the iceberg or did the ship keep turning to starboard? Or did the ship scrape the whole iceberg, and somehow managed not...

    Ice On Deck by Henning Pfeifer

    Thanks for the article, Henning. So you're saying the collison buckled the ice, and some of it burst upward and ricocheted from the upper part of the iceberg on to the deck. It works for me. You know, this type of event could probably be re-created with models. You might try that to buttress...
