The survivors saw the Northern Lights appear after the Titanic sank, but before the Carpathia arrived. I have met former sailors who have seen the Northern Lights in the North Atlantic and they said it was so bright it was almost like daylight. Survivors said it was just like a "search light" and how it was very bright and spread across in a fantail with streamers going upwards into the sky.
Does anyone know roughly what time they appeared and for how long, and if the other ships nearby would have seen them? Would they have to record it in their logbooks and would the brightness affect their ability to navigate using the stars?
