At approximately what time did the forecastle touch the water?

    I was just wondering, what time did the forecastle deck first meet the water surface?

    I think it was late in the sinking, between approx. 1:50 A.M. and 2:05 A.M.

    I was wondering, when did the bow begin to go under, as in the well deck and forecastle deck begin to flood?

    I would estimate about two hours into the sinking.

    Would you say the final sinking speeded up at this point ?

    Forecastle would have hit the water around the time the Titanic almost hit equal Librium

    About 2:05 a.m. when QM Bright saw the forecastle head going under. The sinking did speed up at this point.
