I name this ship Titanic.
May God bless her...
...and all who sail in her.
(cheering)
Hip, hip!
(All) Hooray!
Listen to this, Sylvia.
"The new White Star liner, RMS Titanic, is the largest in the world. "
"And in the luxury of her appointments Titanic takes first place...
...among the big steamers of the world. "
"With Vinolia Otto Toilet Soap for first- class passengers, Titanic also leads...
...with a higher standard of toilet luxury and comfort at sea. "
Let me see.
For the first-class passengers, mark you. The rest don't wash, of course.
- Excuse me, sir, but are you a foreigner? - Eh?
Or a radical, perhaps?
I ask because my wife and I find your sneering remarks in bad taste.
What?
Let those who wish to belittle their country do so in private.
Every Britisher is proud of the unsinkable Titanic.
I'm sure my husband would agree. He joins the Titanic as her Second Officer.
- I, er... I apologize. - A misunderstanding, of course.
Of course, madam. Soap is no laughing matter.
- It was the suggestion of criticism. - Of the advertisement, not the ship.
Quite so.
You're joining her at Liverpool, I take it?
No, sir, Belfast. Then we sail to Southampton.
How I envy you! The newspapers say she's a veritable floating city.
Symbol of man's final victory over nature and the elements.
- 800 cases shelled walnuts: Titanic. - Yes.
- 3,000 dozen fresh eggs: Titanic. - Yes.
- It's all Titanic, this. - All Titanic.
- 255 pound jars Beluga caviar. - Yes.
2,000 pounds of jam, greengage.
Definitely not the veal. But we'll take the rest, subject to inspection.
Goodbye.
The final passenger list, sir.
- How many first class? - 332, sir.
276 second.
708 steerage.
- Total with crew? - 2,208, sir.
More than half the steerage join at Cherbourg and Queenstown.
There we are. Eight wardrobe trunks. 10 suitcases. 18 pieces in all.
They're ready.
- All ready, sir. - Thank you.
Goodbye, sir.
- I hope you have a pleasant journey. - Thank you very much.
- Are you sure you're warm enough? - Yes, thank you.
All right, Perkins.
Now, children, here they come.
Show Sir Richard and Her Ladyship how much we respect them.
(all) Hooray...!
Hooray...!
- Who are they? - The workhouse kids.
Making sure of their Christmas turkey from the home farm.
Goodbye, darling! Goodbye! You won't forget to write, will you?
- We'll send you a wireless from the ship. - Oh, do take care of my little one!
Bye, Mary!
(shouts of farewell)
- Well, God speed to you, child. - Thank you, Father.
You'll all come back when your fortunes are made.
We will that, Father.
- What about the horse and cart? - I'll sell them in Queenstown.
Get a good price, Tom. They're sharp in Queenstown.
Don't worry, Father. I'll watch me step.
Don't grieve, Mrs. Farrell. It's a wise thing your husband is doing.
- Can I help you up, miss? - Thank you.
That's very kind of you.
Wait for me!
Will they promote you to First Officer?
Depends whether they keep old Wilde on.
- You were First on the Majestic. - That was temporary.
- Don't you mind? - No.
Murdoch's the one with his nose out of joint. Ambitious fellow is Bill.
So are you. You know you are.
I'd rather be Second in the Titanic than First in any other ship.
It's the honor of serving the company, and to hell with the pay!
Language!
- What would you like from New York? - Nothing you couldn't buy cheaper here.
But there is! Garters!
Ladies' silk garters with big frilly bows! Just in from Paris! Blue ones, pink ones...
...scarlet!
The idea of you buying garters with big frilly bows on them!
The idea of you wearing 'em!
Ooh-hoo! Ooh-la-la!
Now, Bertie, look at the time. It's late...
...and you have to get down to the ship.
(ship's horn)
- Morning, sir. - Good morning, Pilot.
- Quite a send-off, eh, Captain? - Yes, sir.
There should be quite a welcome waiting for us in New York, too.
A proud moment for you, Mr. Chairman.
And for you, Andrews. You built her. You're the one...
...who ought to take the bows. I'm only the office boy.
We should arrive, er... let's see... Wednesday morning.
- Not out for a fast run, are you? - No, nothing like that.
Naturally, Captain, you'll use your own judgment.
I'm just an ordinary passenger on this trip.
Mr. Murdoch... Let me know when the gangway's landed.
Aye aye, sir.
(ship's horn)
(cheering)
- See? Steady as a rock. - That's remarkable!
The sea's dead calm at the moment.
All the same, Captain, dead calm or not, lots of other ships would be rolling.
That's perfectly true. As you say, sir, she's as steady as a rock.
Someone must have jogged the table!
So sorry!
(bell)
- Got any more sugar there? - Yes, sir.
- What is it? - More ice warnings, sir.
One from the America and another from the Baltic.
Mm.
Mm, just south of Cape Race.
Never known pack ice come that far south before, sir.
Been a mild winter up in the Arctic.
This ice must be drifting down on the Labrador current.
Well, our passengers aren't in any hurry.
Wouldn't be with us if they were.
- Messages for the Captain. - Oh, very good, Sparks.
- See he gets them right away. - Certainly.
Excuse me, sir. From the wireless room.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Ice warnings from steamers ahead of us.
Excuse me.
Serious?
Oh, we shall keep a sharp look out.
Hear it?
- That's the Titanic. - (Morse code)
What's she saying?
"Best wishes to Joe and Hattie. See you Wednesday. Love, Mina and Bill. "
Private stuff.
Must be a lot of money in that ship. They've been at it all day.
Float ice.
"Buy 200,000 rand. "
"Market price. Opening Monday. "
- This chap's spending a fortune. - What have you got there, Sparks?
Titanic on her maiden voyage, sir. She's working Cape Race.
How far away is she?
Hard to tell. Signal strength's pretty good. About 50 miles back, I should think.
Get this off to all ships, will you?
"From SS Californian. Ice reports... "
# With me bundle on me shoulder
# Faith, there's no-one could be bolder
# I'm leaving dear old Ireland without warning
# For I lately took a notion for to cross the briny ocean
# And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning
# Oh... me name is Patrick Leary...
#... from a spot called Tipperary
# The hearts of all the girls I am a-thorning
# But before the break of morn...
#... sure, 'tis them'll be forlorn
# For I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning
# With me bundle on me shoulder
# Faith, there's no-one could be bolder
# I'm leaving dear old Ireland...
Jak on ladnie spiewal.
# For I lately...
Siedz spokojnie.
# And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning!
(cheering)
Enough of that! Give us something livelier.
Give us a jig now, Aloysius!
- Would you care to dance? - Co pan mòwi?
- Dance? - Czy moge zatanczyc?
- Nie bedziesz tanczyc z nieznajomym. - Oh, it is only a dance! Come on now!
Good evening, milady. Sir Richard.
Good evening.
Leadville Johnny they call him.
And he was the best god-durn gold-miner in Colorado.
- 15, I was, when I married him. - Really?
Mm-hm. And he didn't have a cent.
Well, three months later he struck it rich and we was millionaires.
- You know what he did? - No.
He built me a house.
And he had silver dollars cemented to the floors of every room!
How very tiresome for you!
- Evening, sir. - Evening, Kemish.
- Any troubles? - No, sir, she's a beautiful job!
- Thank you, Hesketh. - Goodnight, sir.
I've sent off as much as I could, John, but the Purser's office kept sending up more.
(knock at door)
Here he is again.
- Good evening. - Sorry, Mr. Phillips.
"From the Titanic at sea. "
"Wish you were here. "
Blimey!
- Well, how's Cape Race working? - A lot of repeats. Not too bad.
There was an ice report from the Californian.
All right.
No peace for the wicked, eh?
(Morse signals)
- (knock at door) - Come in.
- What, more? - Afraid so.
Put them down there, will you?
- Having trouble, Sparks? - Certainly not.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
- Keep on course, QM. - Aye aye, sir.
- You sent for me, sir? - Yes, Chippy, the temperature's dropping.
We don't want frozen water tanks, so keep an eye on them.
- Aye aye, sir. - Thank you.
(# "The Blue Danube")
It's jolly cold. Are you warm enough, darling?
Let's go back. We ought not to be here, anyway. This is first class.
They're welcome to it on a night like this. Come on.
# "The Blue Danube"
- Evening, Mr. Lightoller. - Good evening, sir.
- Any more ice reports? - No, sir.
- What's the temperature like? - Almost freezing, sir, and still dropping.
In an hour or so we'll be in the Labrador current.
The weather looks clear enough so far.
If there's any haze, we shall have to slow down.
- Let me know at once if you're doubtful. - Aye aye, sir.
- Mr. Moody. - Sir?
Tell the lookouts to keep their eyes skinned for small ice and growlers.
- Make sure they understand. - Aye aye, sir.
Tell 'em to pass it on when they're relieved.
Ice ahead, sir!
Aye aye!
- Stop engines. - Stop engines.
Stop engines, sir.
That's field ice, Mr. Groves.
I'm not trying to find my way around that until daylight.
- Shall we report it, sir? - Yes.
- Work out our position. - Aye aye, sir.
- Evans, what other ships are there near? - Only the Titanic, sir.
Tell her we're stopped on account of ice.
- Mr. Groves will give you our position. - Aye aye, sir.
Order from the bridge. Special watch for small ice and growlers.
Right-ho.
I say! You won't drink all the cocoa down there, will you!
I told Chippy to keep his eye on the fresh water.
And the lookouts have been warned about the ice.
- That's about it. I'm off on the rounds. - Thanks, Lights.
You're welcome to it. Goodnight.
- Here...! - Oh!
- Oh, sorry, sir. - Hallo, Blake.
Pop my coat in my cabin for me, will you, please?
- Yes, sir. - Thank you.
Brandies for the gentlemen and hock and seltzer for the ladies.
- Is that correct, sir? - That's right.
Look here. You're sure about this full-speed trial tomorrow?
That's what I heard, sir.
- I can't guarantee it, naturally. - Here's somebody who could tell us.
- Hey, Lieutenant. - Sir?
Good evening, ladies.
- Have a drink. - No, thank you, sir. I'm on duty.
We're running a sweep on the ship's run.
Rumor has it the Captain's gonna see how fast she can go.
- It's possible. - Ah-ha!
What would be your guess about the run, Lieutenant?
- Oh, I ought not tell you that, sir. - Why not?
Well, wouldn't you feel worried about betting on a certainty?
- Are you sure you won't have a drink? - A little later, if I may. Please excuse me.
'Ere, lad, we're tryin' to find our bunks.
You can't come this way, it's second class.
Oh, sorry! No offence, lad.
Down to the end, then left.
- Good evening, sir. - Everything all right?
- Yes, sir. - Good.
- Can I do anything, sir? - No, thank you.
- Winning a lot, is he? - Pardon?
You know the one I mean.
- Yes, sir, he is. - Thought I'd seen him before.
- Majestic, I think it was. - Name of Rogers, sir.
Oh? It was Yates last time.
- Can they afford to lose? - Wealthy gentlemen, sir.
If you get a chance, drop them a hint. We don't want complaints of that sort.
Gets the ship a bad name. And you, too.
- Goodnight, Steward. - Goodnight, sir.
I said I'll see you.
Flush.
Here's our position, as near as I can work it out.
The old man said he gave you the rest of the message.
That's right.
(Morse signals)
What's the matter? What's he saying?
He says keep out.
Now he's calling Cape Race again.
- What's he sending to Cape Race? - More private stuff.
Some big bug wants his private railway car to meet him in New York.
How about that!
Well, it's time I signed off and got a bit of shuteye.
When I get off Watch, I'd like to listen in a bit. All right?
- Beginning to get the code, are you? - One word in three.
Have to make you Second Operator.
- Then you can wind up the detector. - I'll take you up on that.
- Hallo, Doc! - Hallo, Lights.
- Somebody ill? - I'm on an errand of mercy.
- Hope she's not too young for you! - You've got an evil mind!
- (knock on door) - Come in.
Hallo, Doc. What can I do for you?
Stop working on this grand ship of yours and have a nightcap.
I've got one here.
This is sound medical advice I'm giving you.
Come in.
What is this?
"Restaurant galley hot press not working. "
"Alterations needed to the writing room. "
"Too few screws on the State Room coat hooks. "
This ship of yours must be falling to bits!
I like to have things just so.
People first, things second.
- Your very good health, Mr. Andrews. - Good health.
Come on, get on with it!
Aye!
(very loud whirring)
(clock chimes)
Mm.
Yes?
There's a big ship coming up to starboard, sir.
- How far away is she? - Maybe 10 miles, sir.
Better find out who she is, I suppose.
- Contact her with the Morse lamp. - Right, sir.
(bell)
- What did you see? - Iceberg dead ahead, sir!
Iceberg dead ahead, sir.
- Hard to starboard. - Hard to starboard, sir.
- Full astern both. - Full astern both, sir.
- Close watertight doors. - Close watertight doors, sir.
Hard to starboard it is, sir.
(ringing)
(alarm bell ringing)
Up the ladders, boys!
Come on, up top!
- What is it? - Iceberg, sir.
I put her hard to starboard and reversed the engines, but... she was too close.
- Stop engines. - Stop engines.
I splashed my drink!
Steward!
- Yes, I saw it. Huge thing. - Good Lord!
- Can't see it now. Must've shaved past it. - How's this for a souvenir!
It's off the berg! There's tons of it up for'ard!
Steward, bring me a whisky and soda!
We've run aground, I tell you! We've run aground on Newfoundland!
What're you talkin' about?
Shut the dampers and get the fires doused!
I tell you she's thrown a propeller blade. It happened in the old Majestic.
We'll be going back to Belfast - you see.
They've got the pumps working. Get a gang down here and draw the fires.
You heard! Come on, me lucky lads!
All right, lads, come on, down again. I dunno...!
It's my birthday today as well!
Well, if there's nothing to see, I'm going back to bed. Goodnight.
- What's the trouble? - Nothing serious. Soon be on our way.
(knock at door)
Yes?
Why have we stopped?
A bit of trouble, sir. Would you please join the Captain on the bridge?
- Now? - If you please, sir.
She's making water fast, sir.
- Aren't the pumps working? - Yes, sir. But the engine room need more.
- This is most unfortunate, Captain. - Yes, sir.
- Is the ship seriously damaged? - I'm afraid she is. Excuse me.
How long is this likely to delay us?
We struck a berg.
I think she's badly damaged.
I'd like to know how badly.
All right. I'll go down and have a look.
Oh, glory be!
Come on!
Oh, now, if we're going to play a game, we'll play it properly.
Oh, well played, sir!
I say, let's go down and join the fun!
But they're steerage passengers!
(shouting)
(very loud gush)
Anything more you want to see?
No.
Chief, I'd get those men up as soon as you can.
Yes, I'II... I'll do that, Mr. Andrews.
What have we stopped for?
Talk of an iceberg, ma'am. I expect we've stopped so as not to run over anything.
What's up?
We're stopped and blowing off steam. Something's wrong.
Bumped a bit of ice, I think.
I can't sleep with this racket. Shall I give you a hand?
I've finished the Cape Race traffic. Help with the accounts, if you like.
I'll get some clothes on.
- Will we have to turn back? - Oh, don't say it!
If we do, we won't get a moment's peace in here.
Here's the position.
Water in the forepeak.
Numbers one and two holds.
The mail room, and boiler rooms six and five.
That means a gash 300 foot long. From there...
...to there, below the waterline.
- Do you agree? - Yes. Well?
They're keeping the water down here, but the first five compartments are flooding.
Well, what's the answer?
She's going to sink, Captain.
But she can't sink.
- She's unsinkable. - She can't float.
She could float with any three of her five watertight compartments flooded.
She could even float with four of them gone. But not all five.
These watertight bulkheads only go as high as E deck.
The water in the bow will pull her down. So you get the fifth compartment...
...overflowing into the sixth, the sixth into the seventh, and so on.
It's a mathematical certainty. With that amount of damage she can't stay afloat.
- How long will she last? - I'm just trying to work that out.
She made 14 feet of water in the first 10 minutes after the collision.
Not very fast.
She should live... another hour and a half.
Yes, about that, I think.
There must be no panic.
No.
You'll be careful what you say to the passengers?
Of course.
How many people are there on board?
2200 or more.
And room in the boats for...
...how many?
1200.
I don't think the Board of Trade regulations visualized this situation.
Do you?
(laughter)
Gentlemen, we are in a precarious position.
We must be prepared to abandon ship.
Mr. Murdoch, you will muster the passengers.
Mr. Lightoller, have the boats uncovered and swung out.
Mr. Boxhall, get all hands to boat stations.
Mr. Moody, help Mr. Lightoller. Mr. Wilde and Mr. Pitman will remain on the bridge.
Everything will be done quietly and calmly. No alarm and no panic.
I will give the word when the boats are to be loaded with the...
...women and children.
Carry on, please.
Captain!
Aren't you exaggerating the danger?
- I'm afraid not, sir. - Where's Andrews?
I'm acting on his advice. This ship is going to founder.
But she can't!
In any case, we can't get everyone in the boats.
I know that, sir.
Please God it won't come to that.
Now listen to me. The ship has been seriously damaged...
...and the Captain's ordered the boats swung out. It's got to be done quickly...
It's got to be done quickly and efficiently. We don't want any panic.
If you keep your heads, the passengers will keep theirs.
You've had no boat drill, but you're all seamen and you've got brains.
Now's the time to use 'em.
- All right, Bosun? - Yes, sir.
Get busy.
The ship is badly damaged. Send out the call for assistance.
- The distress call, sir? - Yes, and at once.
As soon as you're in touch with the nearest ship...
...tell them to come as quickly as they can.
- Understand? - Yes, sir.
- That's our position. - Yes, sir.
What about that steamer over there? Who is she?
I don't know. I suppose she's in the ice, too. She stopped at about seven bells.
I called her with the Morse lamp but she didn't take any notice.
Well, me for bed.
Right.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight, sir.
(Morse code signals)
(signals stop)
(signals)
Any luck?
Frankfurt, 150 miles away.
Olympic says the Mount Temple's nearer.
Well, there must be someone nearer still.
Try sending SOS. That's the new call.
It may be the only chance you'll ever have.
(Morse code)
Come in.
- Sorry to disturb you, sir. - What is it?
Everyone's to put on warm clothing, get their lifebelts on, and go up on deck.
- What? - It's only a precaution, ma'am.
Excuse me, sir.
Everybody up! Get dressed! Get your lifebelts on at once!
(speaks Greek)
I said you get dressed, get lifebelt, quick. Savvy? Chop chop.
Chop chop?
Goodyard! 'Ere!
- Get your lifebelt and get dressed! - (speaks Greek)
Get your lifebelt...!
Come on, hurry it up, you've had time enough.
Don't fold those covers!
Mr. Lightoller...
- What's in that sack? - Bread, sir.
- Right, chuck it in the boat. - Very good, sir.
Every boat must be manned by seamen! That's laid down!
Everything's in hand, sir. Please go down to the lounge.
Come on, ship those turning handles!
(water splashing)
Woda?
Woda!
Ludzie, Ludzie! Woda w kabinie!
Janek, Janek!
Patrz, co sie dzieje! Co za porzadki!
- Get up, we're sinking! - Get out of it!
- Oh, pipe down. - Everybody up!
- Captain's orders! - Why don't you put the light out?
Hooligans!
Stewardess... Why aren't you wearing your lifebelt?
- Passengers mustn't think I'm scared. - Let them see you wearing it.
Put it on, child. For your own sake, too.
Oh, madam, let me help. Come along.
Really, it's too tiresome of them! Everybody knows this ship can't sink!
(shouting)
Ah, there you are.
And me sleeping sound for the first time since we left Queenstown!
Where's Pat off to?
Hold me bag, will you?
Cor!
Get up top! Quick!
They say they always grow up to look like their mothers.
The older one's keener, if you know what I mean.
Yes... I know what you mean.
Why don't you give them both a miss this trip?
- And take the mother out? - You might do worse, by the sound of it.
You're heating my blood. I think I'll turn in.
- Sweet dreams. - Goodnight, Sparks.
(Morse code signals)
Mr. Dean! Sir! There's a distress call from the Titanic! They've struck a berg!
- Is this a leg-pull? - No, they're sinking!
- The Titanic? Don't be a fool. - It's true! I'm going to the Captain.
- There's nothing in sight. Take over. - Aye aye, sir.
Sir! Sir!
What the devil...? Haven't you learned to knock!
A distress call, sir, from the Titanic! She's sinking!
I'm sorry, sir, I...
Mr. Dean, turn the ship round. Head north-west.
- I'll work the course out in a minute. - Aye aye, sir.
- You're sure it's the Titanic? - Yes, sir.
- Certain? - Absolutely.
All right, check back. Tell them we're coming as fast as possible.
Yes, sir.
Sir...
We've contacted the Carpathia. She's on her way to us.
- How far away is she? - 58 miles. Should reach us in four hours.
- Four hours. - Yes, sir.
What about that ship over there? You can see a light.
- Isn't she replying? - No, sir.
She'd blast our ears off if she did.
Maybe she can't keep a 24-hour watch.
Maybe she hasn't got a wireless at all, sir.
All right, Bride. Thank you.
- Mr. Moody. - Sir?
Tell Mr. Boxhall to fire the distress rockets. One every five minutes.
Aye aye, sir.
Port-side boats all swung out, sir. Shall I fill them?
Yes.
Put the women and children in and lower away.
Aye aye, sir.
(loud whoosh)
- Looked like a rocket, sir. - Yes...
I wonder what a ship like that would want to fire a rocket for?
Right, then, number 22.
One, two.
Step aboard. I'll pass the children across.
- What about my husband? - Women and children first.
- Yes, my dear, you better had. - In a small boat like that?!
That lady's right! It's absolutely ridiculous!
- Help me out of here, please. - It can't be helped if she won't go.
Now, madam, please.
- Would you step into the boat, madam? - And catch my death of cold?
Certainly not!
- Would you step into the boat, madam? - Thank you.
Eileen! Eileen!
Yes?
You won't get back on board without a pass!
(laughter)
- But I don't see... - I have my orders, ladies and gentlemen.
The ladies are safer here than in those little boats!
- The Captain's opinion is different, sir. - Look here, sir.
I don't know whether you've noticed, but this ship has quite a list on her now.
- That's not right. - I don't suppose that's very serious.
You can't sink this boat, that's certain.
Get a move on.
Come on, lads. Come on, move along there.
What's the use? All the pumps in Belfast would never keep that water down.
That may be so. But the longer we can keep her afloat, the more lives we'll save.
- Sorry, sir. - Sorry.
Martin, there's a job for you.
- Not going up top, sir? - Presently. Open the spare cabins...
...take out the lifebelts and blankets and get your men to distribute them.
- I'll see to it at once. - Good.
- Oh, Mr. Andrews. - Yes?
I'd like you to tell me something. I... I have a wife and three children on board.
Just how serious is it?
I'm not the panicking kind.
The ship has about an hour to live. A little more if some of the bulkheads hold...
...but not much more. Get your wife and children into the boats.
Thank you.
Oh, Mr. Andrews.
I take it you and I may both be in the same boat later.
Yes... we may.
This way, please. Quickly. Straight down there.
(door opens)
Please tell me what's going on, Robert. People have been rushing about...
It's very tiresome.
We've struck an iceberg. We may be a day late getting to New York.
Oh, that is annoying.
And, to make matters worse, the Captain's being very fussy and correct.
All women and children have to get into lifeboats.
- Oh, no! - Afraid so.
But I don't want to wake the children.
- Is it really necessary? - Yes.
I think we should do what the Captain says.
Very well, Robert.
We must wrap the children up warmly. And take the blankets off the beds, too.
- I'll deal with Tom. You see to the girls. - All right.
Tom... Tom, come on, old boy. You've got to get up now. Sorry.
There's a good boy.
Come on! Come on!
Up! Quick! Out of it!
The bulkhead's going!
(band playing)
Get to your boats, please.
- It's a safety precaution, madam. - I refuse to wear it.
- You must wear a life jacket. - But I dislike it intensely.
Try it on, sister! Everyone's wearing 'em this season. They're the latest thing!
Steward, cancel my appointment with the hairdresser. Tell her I've gone boating!
- Really, I'd rather not wear it. - Come along, ladies.
Will you let me have them, please! A big one. That's mine.
Too many people...
Purser, I must have my jewels. They're in the safe. I've a receipt here to prove it.
- The women and children need the boats! - You can't go through here!
This is not the way to the steerage boat deck!
They'll open the lower decks when the orders are given.
Oh, will they! We'll soon see about that.
- I'll have to shut down more steam. - I'll get rid of some of the load, then.
You can cut the boiler-room fans for a start.
- That'll help. - Good.
How are things up top, sir? Any chance for us?
We've got to keep the lights going.
I'll say when it's time to go, then it's every man for himself.
But it won't be so bad. They say the Carpathia's on her way to us.
Should be here any time now.
Well, let's hope they're right, eh, boys?
Er, if any of you feel like praying, you'd better go ahead.
The rest can join me in a cup of tea.
Cut heating and hot water. Cut anything. I need every ounce of steam I can get.
Aye aye, sir.
Mr. Dean, get all hands on deck. Prepare to receive survivors.
Knock off all routine work. Get your boats ready and swung out.
Rig electric lights down the side of the ship. Open all gangway doors.
Hook a rope in every gangway door. Get canvas slings ready for the injured.
See that all side ladders are down.
- Have you got that? - Aye aye, sir.
Quartermaster, telephone the doctor and Chief Steward. Ask them to see me now.
Aye aye, sir.
No, she can't get on, she'll swamp it!
- There isn't room! - Mummy!
You must let her on! It's Mummy!
You must come on!
- Let her on! - All right.
You can have my place.
- Thank you very much. - Joe, you take the helm.
Right, darling.
Stand by to lower!
Aren't you in charge of this boat?
I'm no seaman, sir. Joe can manage just as well.
Ladies first, eh, sir?
Lower away together!
Quickly! Come along, you men!
- Quickly! - Hold it!
- What the... - Will you kindly not interfere, sir!
We've got to get these boats away!
Do you want me to drown everybody?
That's what will happen if I lower the boats too quickly. Now stand back!
Carry on lowering!
There'll be trouble about that when we get to New York.
What's the matter with him? Is he blind?
- That's six rockets she's fired, sir. - Yes... Maybe I'd better tell the Captain.
(whistle)
What is it?
That big steamer, sir, she's firing rockets. Six up to now.
Perhaps they're company signals. Call her with the Morse lamp and ask her.
Aye aye, sir.
The Captain thinks she must be signaling to another ship about the ice.
- Looks a bit queer. - I'll try signaling again.
It's as if she's listing.
That's because of the angle she's at to us.
If you please, madam.
- My friend is in that other boat. - Madam, you must get in.
- But I don't see why... - You cannot pick and choose your boat.
Gangway, please! Gangway!
- I want to go back to bed, Daddy. - You're going for a ride in a boat, old son.
They tell us to go up, then tell us to come down. I wish they'd make up their minds.
Very sorry, ma'am.
- This indecision is most bewildering. - Yes, ma'am.
Really!
If there's no danger, why do you want us to put our lifebelts on? Tell me that, man.
I'm not here to argue! I want everybody with their lifebelts on!
Pat and I have found a way up.
- Where is Pat? - He's gone ahead.
It may be someone trying to signal, but I can't make it out.
Could be a masthead light flickering, sir.
If I had a gun, I'd put a shell into them.
This way, madam. Quickly as you can. Straight to the end, please.
This way, madam. That's right.
The water's up to E deck. There's not much time left.
If they won't get in, chuck 'em in.
This way, madam.
Thank you.
As quickly as you can. Right down to the end, please.
Please don't put me in the boat!
I'd rather die, I tell you!
I've never been in an open boat in my life!
I can't do it!
You've got to go, madam, so you may as well keep quiet.
Off we go, then.
Good boy, Michael.
Through here now.
No steerage up 'ere! This is second class!
- Good God, man, let the ladies pass! - I shall lose me job!
You'll lose your teeth if you don't shut up!
Come on, quick, before he fetches someone.
Which way to the boats?
Any way you like, friend. Any way you like.
All roads lead to Rome.
This way, Pat.
- No! No! - Come along, madam.
- No, I won't! I won't! - Women and children first, madam.
Please, Lottie, be brave and go! I'll get a place in another boat!
Lottie, please!
- Robert, I can't go through with it. - We shall have to forgo the drive...
- I can't leave you. - Henry won't mind us being one day late.
- But he'll draw the line at two. - I'm not going, Robert.
My dear, I never expected to ask you to obey me...
...but this is one time you must.
It's only a matter of form for you and the children to go first.
Everyone here will be quite safe.
Is that the truth?
Certainly it is.
