[QUOTE="Tigrou, post: 384631, member: 162128"] Just after the collision, there was one ship which was pretty close from the Titanic : the SS Californian. As most of use us know, despite the many efforts of the Titanic, they never responded to the distress calls. I think theTitanic stopped just after colliding the iceberg for at least two reasons : - To stay afloat as long as possible : moving the ship would cause even more water to flood inside. - To be able to deploy the life boats Anyway since they were pretty close to the Californian (and that ship was stopped as well) : could they decide at some point to sail towards that ship and then stop there ? I think ship was 10 to 12 miles aways according to what I read on wikipedia, so it should not have taken that long. [/QUOTE]

In which year did the Titanic sail?
