[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]OK animation but I was a bit unconvinced about the final plunge. IMO the lights failure is probably shown about 30 seconds too early and the break-up once again too soon afterwards. Then I felt that the stern section took too long to sink below the surface.

I quite like the 'new' footage from the 2012 version of Cameron's version of the break-up and stern sinking.

One interesting thing that I found in this (the above one) animation is how Woolner and Stefansson got on board Collapsible D from A-deck. It is shown that they moved as forward as possible keeping abreast of the lifeboat and when it got close, literally stepped across the gap. Personally, I believe that is how it happened.

They must have calculated, correctly as it seemed to turn out, that after reaching the surface of the sea Collapsible D would be rowed a forwards ( ie parallel to the long axis of the sinking [I]Titanic[/I]) for a few strokes before moving away.[/COLOR]

In which year did the Titanic sail?
