At what point did they know that no ship would make it to them in time?

[QUOTE="Thomas Krom, post: 450861, member: 162881"] Although it is unrelated to the topic of this thread, from my head speaking I know that the gangway doors were 6 feet in height and 4'6" and 4'5" wide respectively. When the wreck was discovered in 1985 it was noticed that the forward 4'6" wide gangway door on the port side was in it's opened position along with the decorative folding gate that closed the gangway door off from the port side boarding area folded in it's closed position unlike all the 3 gangway doors and 3 sets of folding gates which are all closed and properly locked in their closed position. Some believe this exact gangway door was shortly opened after 1:10, where it has been speculated that boatswain Nichols and the 6 seamen (we aren't certain if these were all able bodies seamen or 4 able bodied seamen and the two seamen) saw the water near the gangway door when they opened it and closed it as fast as possible. The theory that some believe however must not be taken as factual. [/QUOTE]
