As we all know, it was about 11:40 PM ship’s time on the 14th of April 1912 that the SS Titanic collided with an iceberg. The iceberg itself was described as reaching a little higher than the height of the boat deck as it glided by at about 37 feet per second along her starboard side. In just under 8 seconds the major damage had been done.
