l name this ship Titanic.
Listen to this, Sylvia:
The new White Star Liner, Titanic...
is the largest vessel in the world.
lt 's not only in size.
but also in the luxury of her appointments...
that the Titanic takes first place among the big steamers of the world..
By the provision of Vinolia Otto Toilet Soap.
for her first class passengers...
the Titanic also leads...
as offering 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?
l ask because my wife and l find your sneering remarks...
in bad taste.
What's that?
Let those who wish to belittle their country's achievements...
do so in private.
Every Britisher is proud of the unsinkable Titanic.
Yes, indeed. l 'm sure my husband would agree with you.
He's going to join the Titanic as her Second Officer.
-l... apologize. -A misunderstanding, of course.
Oh, of course, madam. Soap is no laughing matter.
lt was the suggestion of criticism.
Of the advertisement, sir, not the ship.
Quite so.
You're joining her at Liverpool, l take it?
No, sir, Belfast. Then we sail down to Southampton.
Ah, how l envy you!
The newspapers say she's a veritable floating city.
Symbol of progress of man's victory over nature and the elements.
800 cases shelled walnuts, Titanic.
3,200 dozen fresh eggs, Titanic
-lt's all Titanic this. -All Titanic.
250 pound jars Beluga caviar.
2,000 pounds of jam, greengage.
Definitely not the veal, but we'll take the rest, subject to inspection.
Bye!
The final passenger list for the Titanic, sir.
-How many first class? -332, sir.
277, second. 708, steerage.
-Total with crew? -2,208, sir.
More than half the steerage join at Cherbourg and Queenstown.
Here we are, then. Eight wardrobe trunks, ten suitcases.
Eighteen pieces in all.
They're ready.
-All ready, sir. -Thank you.
Well, goodbye, sir. l 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.
-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 to me, will you?
We'll send you a wireless from the ship.
Oh, take care of my little one.
-Well, God speed to you, child. -Thank you, Father.
You'll all come back when your fortunes are made.
We will that, father.
What will you do with the horse and cart?
l'll sell them in Queenstown before we get on the ship.
Well, get a good price, Tom. They're sharp in Queenstown.
Don't worry, Father, l'll watch me step.
Don't grieve, Mrs. Farrell.
lt's a wise thing your husband is doing.
-Can l help you up, miss? -Thank you.
That's very kind of you.
Wait for me!
Do you think they'll promote you to First Officer after this trip?
Well, that depends whether they keep Old Wild on or not.
After all, you were first on the Majestic.
-Ah, but that was temporary. -Don't you mind?
No, Bill Murdoch's the one with his nose out of joint this trip.
Ambitious fellow is Bill.
So are you, you know you are.
l'd rather be second in the Titanic...
than first or even chief in any other ship.
With me, madam, it's the honour of serving the company.
-Hell with the pay! -Language!
What would you like me to bring you back from New York?
Nothing you couldn't buy better or cheaper over here.
Ah, but there is. garters!
Ladies' silk garters with big frilly bows.
There's a shop on Broadway full of 'em.
Just in from Paris. Blue ones, pink ones, scarlet!
What's the matter?
The idea of you buying garters with big frilly bows on them.
-Morning, sir. .Good morning, Pilot.
l understand the engine room wheel has been fixed, sir.
Oh, there should be quite a welcome waiting for us in New York, too.
lt'll be a proud moment for you, Mr. Chairman.
Oh, and for you, Andrews.
You're the man who built her.
You're the one who ought to take the bow.
l'm only the office boy.
We should arrive... Let's see.
-Wednesday morning. -We might do better than that.
-Not out for a fast run this trip. -Oh, no, no, nothing like that.
She'll do better when the engines have settled down.
Naturally, Captain, you'll use your own judgement.
l'm just an ordinary passenger on this trip.
-Mr. Murdoch. -Oh, Andrews.
Get the men to station and let me know when the gangway's landed.
Aye, aye, sir.
See, steady as a rock.
But that's remarkable.
Of course the sea's dead calm at the moment.
All the same, Captain, dead calm or not...
there are lots of other ships that'd be rolling anyway.
That's perfectly true.
As you say, sir, she's as steady as a rock.
Someone must have jogged the table.
So sorry.
-Got any more sugar there? -Yes, sir.
What is it?
More ice warnings from steamers ahead, sir.
One from The America and another from the Baltic.
Just south of Cape Race.
Never known pack ice come that far south before, sir.
Been a mild winter up in the Artic.
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.
lce warnings from steamers ahead of us.
Excuse me.
Serious?
We shall keep a sharp look out.
Hear it? That's the Titanic.
What's she saying?
Best wishes to Joe and Hattie.
See you Wednesday, love Mina and Bill.
Jut private stuff.
Yes, must be a lot of money in that ship.
They've been at it for the best part of the day.
Float ice.
Buy two hundred-thousand 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 is she?
lt's hard to tell. Signal strength's pretty good.
About fifty miles back l should think.
Get this off to all ships, will you:
From this, Californian, icebergs have been seen.
How nicely he sings!
Just sit back!
As well now, that's enough of that. Give us something livelier.
Give us a jig now, Aloysius
-Would you care to dance? -What are you saying?
-Dance? -Can l dance?
You can't dance with a stranger.
Oh, it'is only a dance. Come on now.
Good evening, milady.
Good evening.
Leadville Johnny they called him.
And he was the best god-durn gold miner in Colorado.
Fifteen l was when l married him.
Really?
And he didn't have a cent.
Three months later he struck it rich and we was millionaires.
You know what he did?
He built me a house.
And he had silver dollars cemented all over the floors of every room.
l say, how very tiresome for you.
Evening, sir.
Evening, Kemish.
-Any troubles? -No, sir, she's a beautiful job.
-Thank you, Hesketh. -Good night, sir.
l've sent off as much as l could, John...
but the Purser's office kept sending up more.
Here he is again.
Good evening. Sorry, Mr. Phillips.
Listen:
From the Titanic at sea.
Blimey! Well, how's Cape Race working?
A lot of repeats, not too bad.
Oh, there was an ice report from the Californian.
-lt went to the bridge. -All right.
No peace for the wicked, eh?
Come in!
-What more? -Afraid so.
Put them down there, will you?
-Having trouble, Sparks? -Certainly not.
-Good night. -Good night.
-Keep on course, Q.M. -Aye aye, sir.
You sent for me, sir?
Yes, Chippy, the temperature's dropping.
We don't want a freeze up in the fresh water tanks.
-Keep an eye on them, will you? -Aye aye, sir.
Thank you.
lt's getting 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.
-Evening, Mr. Lightoller. -Good evening, sir.
-Any more ice reports? -No, sir.
What's the temperature like?
lt's almost freezing point, sir, and still dropping.
ln an hour or so we'll be in the Labrador current.
Well, the weather looks clear enough so far.
lf there's the slightest bit of haze, we shall have to slow down.
-Let me know at once if any doubt. -Aye aye, sir.
-Now, Mr. Moody. -Sir?
Tell the lookouts to keep their eyes skinned for small ice and growlers.
There might be some of that about.
-Make sure they understand. -Yes, sir.
And tell 'em to 'pass it on when they're relieved.
Yes, sir.
lce ahead, sir.
Aye, aye.
-Stop engines. -Stop engines.
Stop engines, sir.
That's field ice, Mr. Groves.
l'm not trying to find my way round 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.
You'll have to call her and 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.
l say, you won't drink all the cocoa down there, will you?
l told Chippy to keep his eye on the fresh water.
The lookouts have been warned to keep their eyes skinned for ice.
That's about the lot. l'm off on me rounds.
Thanks, Lights.
You're welcome to it. Good night.
-Oh, sorry, sir. -Hallo, Blake.
Pop my coat in my cabin for me, will you please?
-Yes, sir. -Thank you.
That'll be brandies for the gentlemen and a hock and seltzer for the ladies.
-ls that correct, sir? -That's right.
You're sure about this full speed trial tomorrow?
That's what l heard from one of the officers, sir.
l can't guarantee it, naturally.
Well, here's somebody who ought to be able to tell us.
-Hey, Lieutenant. -Sir?
-Good evening, ladies. -Good evening.
-Have a drink. -Thank you, no, sir, l'm on duty.
We've decided to run a sweep on the ship's run tomorrow.
Now rumour has it the captain's going to see how fast she can go.
-ls that right? -lt's possible.
Now, what would be your guess about the run, Lieutenant?
-l shouldn't tell you that. -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 l may. Please excuse me.
-Good evening, sir. -Good evening, steward.
-Everything all right? -Yes, sir.
-Can l do anything for you, sir? -No, thank you.
-Winning a lot, is he?
-Pardon?
-You know the one l mean. -Yes, sir, he is.
Thought l'd seen him before. Majestic, l think it was.
-Name of Rogers, sir. -lt was Yates last time.
-Can they afford to loose? -Wealthy gentlemen, sir.
lf you get a chance drop them a hint about what they're up against.
-We don't want any complaints. -l'll do that, sir.
Get the ship a bad name. Get you a bad name, too.
-Good night, Steward. -Good night, sir.
l said l'll see you.
Flush.
Here's our position.
The old man said he gave you the rest of the message.
That's right.
-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 l signed off an got a bit of shut eye.
When l get off watch, l'd like to listen in a bit.
All right?
-Beginning to get the code now, -One word in three, sometimes.
Have to make you second operator.
Then you can wake up the detector.
l'll taker you up on that.
-Hallo, Doc. -Hallo, Lights.
-What's the matter, somebody ill? -l'm on an errand of mercy.
Hope she's not too young for you.
You've got an evil mind.
Come in!
Hallo, Doc. What can l do for you?
You can stop working on this grand ship of yours...
and have a night cap.
Well, l've got one here.
This is sound medical advice l'm giving you.
Come in!
What is this?
Restaurant galley hot press not working.
Alterations needed to the writing room.
Two few screws on the State Room coat hooks.
This ship of yours must be falling to bits.
l like to have things just so.
People first, things second.
Your very good health, Mr. Andrews.
Come on.
There's a big ship coming up to starboard, sir.
-How far away is she? -Maybe ten miles, sir.
Well, better find out who she is.
Contact her with the Morse lamp.
Aye, aye, sir.
-What did you see? -lceberg dead ahead, sir.
lceberg 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.
Up the ladders, boys. Come on, up top.
-What is it? -lceberg, sir.
l put her hard a starboard and reversed the engines...
but she was too close.
-Stop engines. -Stop engines.
l splashed my drink.
Steward!
-Yes, l saw it. Huge thing. -Good Lord!
You can't see it now though. Must've just shaved past it.
-What do you think of this souvenir? -Where did you get that from?
lt's off the berg. There's tons of it up forward.
Oh, sorry.
Steward, bring me a whisky and soda.
We've run aground, l tell you.
-We've run around on Newfoundland. -What're you talking about?
Shut up! You don't know the first thing about it.
Shut the dampers and get the fires doused.
l tell you she's thrown a propellor blade.
l was in the old Majestic when the same thing happened.
We'll be going back to Belfast, you see.
They've got the pumps working.
You get a gang down here and draw the fires.
You heard. Come on, me lucky lads.
All right, lads, come on down again.
l don't know.
lt's my birthday today as well.
Don't make a joke!
Well, if there's nothing to see up on deck, l'm going back to bed.
Good night.
What's the trouble?
Nothing serious, sir, in a few hours we'll be on our way again.
Yes?
-Why have we stooped? -A bit of trouble, sir.
The Captain's compliments, would you please join him on the Bridge?
lf you please, sir.
She's making water fast, sir.
The mail hold's practically full already.
-Aren't the pumps working? -Yes, sir.
Thank you, Carpenter.
The engine room say they'll need more.
-This is most unfortunate, Captain. -Yes, sir.
-Do you think she's seriously damaged? -l'm afraid she is.
Excuse me.
How long is this likely to delay us?
We struck a berg. l think she's badly damaged...
l'd like to know how badly.
All right.
l'll go down and have a look.
Oh, glory be!
We can play here.
Oh, no...
if we're going to play a game, we'll play it properly.
You, there.
Oh, well played, sir.
l say, let's go down and join the fun.
But they're steerage passengers.
Anything more you want to see?
No.
Chief, l'd get these men up as soon as you can.
Yes, l'll. l'll do that, Mr. Andrews.
What have we stopped for?
There's talk of an iceberg, ma'am.
We've stopped to avoid crashing.
What happens?
We're stopped and blowing off steam. Something's wrong.
Bumped a bit of ice, l think.
Well, l can't sleep with this racket. Do you want me to give you a hand?
Well, l've finished the Cape Race traffic.
You can help with the accounts, if you like.
Well, l'll get some clothes on.
Do you think we'll have to turn back?
Oh, don't say it!
lf 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 three hundred foot long.
From there to there, below the waterline.
-Do you agree? -Yes, well.
The pumps keep the level in the boiler room...
but these compartments are almost watertight.
Well, what's the answer.
She's going to sink, Captain.
But she can't sink.
She's unsinkable.
She can't float.
Look!
She could float with 3 of her 5 watertight compartments flooded.
She could float with 4 of them gone. But she can't with all 5 full up
These watertight bulkheads here only go as high as E. Deck.
The weight of water in the bow is going to pull her down by the head.
The fifth watertight compartment overflowing into the sixth.
The sixth into the seventh and so on...
as she gets lower.
With that amount of underwater damage, she can't stay afloat.
-How long will she last? -l'm just trying to work that out now.
She made fourteen feet of water...
in the first ten minutes after the collision.
Not very fast.
She should live another hour-and-a half.
Yes, about that, l 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? -Twenty-two hundred or more.
And room in the boats for how many?
Twelve hundred.
l don't think the Board of Trade regulations visualised this situation.
Do you?
Gentlemen, we are in a precarious position.
We must be prepared to abandon the ship.
Mr. Murdoch you will muster the passengers.
Mr. Lightoller, you'll have the boats uncovered and swung out.
Mr. Boxhall, call all hands and get them to boat stations.
Mr. Moody, you will help Mr. Lightoller.
Mr. Wilde and Mr. Pitman will remain on the bridge.
Everything will be done quietly and calmly.
l 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?
l'm afraid not, sir.
Well, where's Andrews?
l'm acting on his advice.
This ship is going to founder.
But she can't.
ln any case, we can't get everyone in the boats.
l know that, sir.
Please God it won't come to that.
The ship is badly damaged. Send out the call for assistance.
-The regulation distress call, sir? -Yes, and at once.
As soon as you're in touch with the ship nearest to us...
tell them to come as quickly as they can.
-You understand? -Yes, sir.
-This is our position. -Thanks.
What about that steamer over there? Who is she?
l don't know. Suppose she's in the ice too.
She stopped at about seven bells.
l tried calling her with the Morse lamp but she didn't take any notice.
-Well, me for bed. -Right.
-Good night. -Good night, sir.
Any luck?
The Frankfurt is at 150 milles.
Olympic says the Mount Temple's nearer.
Well, there must be someone nearer still.
Try sending S.O.S., that's the new call.
lt may be the only chance you'll ever have.
Come in.
Sorry to disturb you, sir, but Captain's orders.
What is it?
There' a little trouble with the ship.
Everyone's to put on warm clothing, get their lifebelts on...
and go up on deck.
-What? -lt's only a precaution, ma'am.
Excuse me, sir.
Everybody up, get dressed, et your lifebelts on at once.
Everybody up, get dressed, get your lifebelts on at once.
What's the matter?
l said, you get dressed, get lifebelt, quick.
Come on! Come on!
l can't understand.
Goodyard, up!
Come on, lads, hurry it up, you've had time enough.
Don't lose your time.
-Mr. Lightoller, l must insist. -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. Will you please go down to the lounge?
Come on, ship those turning handles.
-Stewardess. -Yes, sir?
Why aren't you wearing your lifebelt?
Well, the passengers mustn't think l'm scared.
Let them see you wearing it. Put it on for your own sake, too.
Put it on, please.
Oh, madam, let me help. Come along.
Really, it's too tiresome of them.
Everybody knows this ship can't sink.
Ah, there you are.
And me sleeping sound for the first time since we left Queenstown.
-Never mind now. -lt'll be cold outside.
-Where's Pat off to? -Here, hold my bag, will you?
Get up top, quick.
Mr. Dean, sir.
There's a distress call just come through.
-Who from? -The Titanic. They've struck a berg.
ls this a leg-pull, Sparks?
No, they want us to come at once. They're sinking.
-The Titanic! on't be a fool. -lt's true. 'm going to the Captain.
There's nothing in sight, take over.
Aye, aye, sir.
-Sir, sir. -What the devil's going...
Haven't you learned to knock before you come in here?
lt's a distress call from the Titanic. She's sinking.
l'm sorry, sir. l.
Mr. Dean, turn the ship round
Head North-West.
l'll work the course out for you in a minute.
Now, Cottam.
-You're sure this is the Titanic? -Yes, sir.
-Certain? -Absolutely.
All right, check back. Find out everything you can.
-Tell them we're coming right now. -Yes, sir.
Sir, we've contacted the Carpathia.
East bound from New York. She's on her way to us.
-Well, how far is she? -Fifty-eight miles, sir.
She's making all possible speed. Should reach us in four hours.
-Four hours. -Yes, sir.
Well, what about that ship over there?
About ten miles away. You can se a light.
-lsn't she replying? -No, sir.
She'd blast our ears off if she did.
Maybe she can't keep a twenty-four hour watch.
Maybe she hasn't got wireless at all, sir.
All right, Bride. Thank you.
-Mr. Moody. -Sir?
Tell Mr. Boxall to fire the distress rockets.
One very five minutes, from the port side.
Aye, aye, sir.
Port side boats all swung out, sir. Shall l fill them?
Yes.
Put the women and children in and lower away.
Aye, aye, sir.
-Looked like a rocket, sir. -Yes.
l wonder what a ship like that would want to fire a rocket for?
Right then, number twenty-two.
One, two.
Step aboard please, madam. and l'll pass the children across.
But, what about my husband?
l'm sorry, women and children first.
-My dear, l think you better had. -But in a small boat like that!
-l can't go without my husband. -That lady's right!
-lt's absolutely ridiculous. -Now, madam, l assure you.
Kindly help me out of here, please.
lt can't be helped if she won't go.
Now, madam, please.
Would you be good enough to step into the boat, madam?
And catch my death of cold? Certainly not!
lt's up to you!
-Would you step into the boat, please? -Thank you.
-Eileen! Eileen! -Yes?
You won't bet back on board tomorrow without a pass.
-But l don't see. -l have my orders.
The ladies are certainly safer here than in those little boats.
The Captain's opinion about that is different, sir.
Look here, sir.
l don't know if you've noticed it, but this ship has got quite a list on her.
That's not right.
l don't suppose, that's very serious. This boat can't sink, that's certain.
Get a move on.
Come on lads, come on.
Move along there.
What's the use, Chief?
Well, all the pumps in Belfast would never keep that water down.
But the longer we can keep her afloat, the more lives there'll be saved.
So put your backs into it.
-Sorry, sir. -Oh, Mr. Andrews.
-Martin, there's a job for you. -Aren't you going up top, sir?
Open up all spare cabins and take out all life belts and spare blankets.
Get your men to distribute them. The blankets to the boats.
Right, sir. l'll see to it at once.
-Oh, Mr. Andrews. -Yes?
l'd like you to tell me something.
l've a wife and 3 children on board. How serious is it?
l'm not the panicking kind.
The ship has about an hour to live.
A little more, if some of the upper bulkheads hold...
but not much more.
Get your wife and children into the boats.
Thank you. Oh, Mr. Andrews.
l take it you and l may both be in the same boat later.
Yes, we may.
-Oh, this way, madam. -This way, please.
Please, will you tell me what's going on, Robert?
People have been rushing about, and noises overhead.
Oh, it's very tiresome.
We've struck an iceberg and damaged the ship.
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.
All women and children must go up on deck and get into the lifeboats.
-Oh, no! -Afraid so, dear.
But l don't want to wake the children. ls it really necessary?
Yes.
l think we should do what the Captain says.
Very well, Robert.
We must wrap the children up warmly.
We can take the blankets off the beds, too.
l can deal with Tom if you'll look after the girls.
Yes, all right.
Tom, Tom, come on, old boy. You've got to get up now.
Anne, Jennifer. Come along, darling.
Come on! Come on!
Up, quick!
Out of it! Quick, lads. The bulkhead's going.
Get to your boats, please.
-lt's only a safety precaution, madam. -l refuse to wear it.
-You must wear your life jacket. -But l dislike it intensively.
-l don't. -Try it on, sister.
Everyone's wearing them this season.
They're the latest thing.
Steward, will you cancel my appointment with the hairdresser?
-Tell her l've gone boating. -Yes, madam.
-Really, l'd rather not wear it. -Come along, ladies.
Will you let me have them, please? A big oneThat's mine.
Be quiet. Too many people.
Purser, here, purser, please. l must have my jewels.
They're in the safe. l've a receipt here to prove it.
But the word's going round...
that the women and children are taking to the boats.
You can't go through here.
This is not the way to the steerage boat deck.
Which is the way, then?
They'll be opening the lower deck ports when the orders are given.
Oh, they will, will they? We'll soon see about that.
Cut your heating and hot water.
Cut anything you like.
l've got to have every ounce of steam you can give me.
Aye, aye, sir.
Mr. Dean, get all hands on deck and prepare to receive survivors.
Knock off all routine work. Get your boats ready and swing them out.
Rig electric lights down the side of the ship.
Open all gangway doors.
Hook a block and line rope in every gangway door.
Canvas slings. Get those ready for the injured.
Oh, and see that all your side ladders are down.
-Have you got that? -Aye, aye, sir.
Quartermaster!
Telephone the doctor and Chief Steward.
Ask them to come and see me on the Bridge now.
No, no, she can't get on, she'll swamp it!
You must let her on! lt' Mummy!
You must come on! Let her on!
lt's all right, lady. You can have my place.
-Thank you very much. -Joe, you take the helm.
-Mummy. -Right, darling.
Stand by to lower.
What's the matter? Aren't you in charge of this boat?
Oh, l'm no seaman, sir. Joe can manage just as well.
Ladies first, eh, sir?
Lower away together.
Quickly. Come along, you men.
-Hold it! -What the.
Will you kindly not interfere, sir.
We've got to get these boats away.
We're getting them away. Do you want me to drown everybody?
Because that's what would happen if l lower these boats too quickly.
Now stand back, please.
Carry on lowering.
Hey! There'll be trouble about that when we get to New York.
What's the matter with him? ls he blind?
That's six rockets she's fired, sir.
Yes. Maybe l'd better tell the Captain.
What is it?
That big steamer, sir, she's firing rockets.
Six up to now.
Well, perhaps they're company signals of some kind.
Call her up with the Morse lamp and ask her.
Aye, aye, sir.
The Captain thinks she must be signalling to another ship about the ice.
-Looks a bit queer, doesn't she? -l'll try signalling her again.
lt's as if she's listing.
That's because of the angle she's at to us.
lf you please, madam.
My friend has been put into that boat. We want to stay together.
-Madam, you must get in. -But l don't see why.
Madam, please, madam, you cannot choose your boat.
Gangway please, gangway.
Come on, girls.
l want to go back to bed, Daddy.
You're going for a ride in a boat, old son.
First, they tell us to go up, then they tell us to wait down here.
The boats are up top, ma'am.
-l wish they'd make up their mind. -Very sorry, ma'am.
-The indecision is most bewildering. -Yes, ma'am.
lf there' no danger, why do you want us to put our lifebelts on?
l'm not here to argue with you. Want everybody with their lifebelts on.
Pat and l have found a way up. Follow me.
-Where is Pat? -He's gone ahead.
lt may be somebody trying to signal, but l can't make any sense out of it.
Could be a masthead light flickering, couldn't it, sir?
lf l had a gun, l'd put a shell into them.
This way, madam. As quickly as you can, please.
Straight the way down to the end, please.
The water's up to ''E'' deck forward. There's not much time left.
-lf they won't get in, chuck 'em in. -Right.
-Keep straight on to the boar deck. -Oh, this way, madam.
-Straight in. -As quickly as you can.
Right the way down to the end, please.
-Please don't put me in the boat. -Now come along, madam.
l'd rather die, l tell you.
l've never been in an open boat in my life.
No, l can't do it. l shall fall.
You've got to go, madam, as you may as well keep quiet.
Off we go, then.
Good boy, Michael.
Through here, now.
Here, l say, no steerage up here. This is Second Class.
Good God, man will you let these ladies pass to the boats?
lt's against the rules. l shall lose me job.
You'll lose your teeth if you don't shut up.
-Get off me. -Little rat.
Come on, quick. Look there, which way to the boats?
Any way you like, friend. All roads lead to Rome.
This way, Pat.
No, no.
Come along, madam.
Please, Lottie, for God's sake, be brave and go.
l'll get a place in another boat. Come on, Lottie, please.
Robert, l can't go through with it.
We'll have to forgo the drive down to Philadelphia...
and take the train.
l can't leave you here, Robert.
Cousin Henry won't mind us being one day late, but not two.
l'm not going, Robert.
My dear...
l never expected to ask you to obey me...
but this is one time you must.
lt's only a matter of form for you and the children to go first.
Everyone here will be quite safe.
-ls that the truth? -Certainly it is.
lf you please, madam. The children will follow.
-Be nice and look after your mother. -Yes.
There we are, hup.
Goodbye, my dear son.
Come on, son.
-Thank you. -Right.
-Keep back, we'll clear of the boat. -Aye, aye, sir.
Stand back, come on, everybody,
Stand back please, sir. We're going to lower.
Right, lower away together.
Slowly!
Watch your hands, ladies.
Keep them well inside the boat.
-Say goodbye. -Goodbye, Daddy.
Let's follow somebody, Pat.
No, no let's try this way. Come on.
First class!
Come on, Pat.
l don't care, Mary. l don't like the look of it.
We're going up.
Just a minute.
You'll be told when to go up.
Why?
Right, eighteen.
Right, lower away together.
Hold it.
Please.
There's room in the boat, l thought.
Women and children only.
Miss Russell, l thought you'd gone to the boat.
My pig, l must have my lucky pig.
l 've had enough.
-We can settle later, if you like. -Yeah, yeah, later.
-Maybe he's got an appointment. -Maybe he's right.
l don't know much about ships...
but l'm beginning to think that we're in a tight corner.
Then what shall we play now, gentlemen, Happy Families?
-Well, Phillips? -Carpathia, sir
She's making 17 knots. and should be with us about 3:30.
That'll be too late.
There may be someone nearer, keep trying.
Yes, sir.
-l got you a life belt, John. -Put it down there.
-Don't they see us? -No, sir.
There was a light flashing but it must have come from their masthead.
-Quartermaster Rowe. -Sir?
-Can you send and read Morse? -Yes, sir.
Then signal, and keep signalling:
We are the Titanic, sinking. Please have your boats ready!
Aye aye, sir.
-Go along and help with the boats. -Yes, sir.
-Mr. Boxhall. -Sir?
Ask Mr. Wilde where the arms and ammunition are kept.
-They may be needed later. -Yes, sir.
No, no, l don't want to go.
lt's an order that you have to obey.
Come along!
Come along, ladies. There's no time to lose.
You heard what he said, the pair of you.
Get along. The same with you now, come on.
My child, go.
Your boat full, Mr. Lowe?
-There's some ladies here. -Come along then, please.
Quickly, come along.
Quickly, ladies, hurry.
-Come along, please. -Go along with you now.
Watch your step.
Plenty of room in the back.
Say, we only got one sailor with us. That's not enough to manage this boat.
-Hold it, there! -Fast lowering!
What's the matter?
Hey, stop, we only got one sailor on this boat?
Are there any spare hands here?
l'll go if you like.
-Are you a sailor? -l'm a yachtsman.
lf you're seaman enough to nip down that lifeline, you can go.
Below! Let's have that line!
Right. Good luck.
Lower away together.
Women and children to the boats.
Women and children first.
-Please, Rachael, get in the boat. -Yes, Mrs. Straus, you must.
l've always stayed with my husband. So why should l leave him now?
Please, be sensible.
We have been living together for many years, lsodor.
Where you go, l go.
Sure nobody'd object to an old gentleman like you going in a boat.
l'll ask the officer.
No, l will not go before the other men.
We stay.
Come, my dear.
She's right, you se. We'll stay together, too.
But she's old, you're young! Please, darling.
l can look after myself.
We both can.
Watch your step!
Wait a minute! He can't go. lt's women and children only.
Of course he can go. He's only thirteen.
All right, son, go on. You can look after your mother.
Now, keep back, please, ladies and gentlemen!
lt's absurd!
On the other side husbands are allowed to go with women.
Why on earth we're standing here?
But...
will there be room in the boats for everybody?
Of course, there will.
Yes, oughtn't we to ask?
Somebody just said we had to hang about here.
-What are we supposed to do, mate? -l don't know.
Sir!
Please, sir, where are we supposed to go?
Put those cigarettes out at once. Don't you know the rules, yet?
l'll have you on the Captain's report.
Come on, you two, out of it! Come on!
Let me stay in the boat! Please.
Let me stay in the boat!
All officers are requested to report to the chief Officer's cabin, sir.
Right.
No men are allowed in these boats...
until all the women have gone.
-May l go too? -Yes, sir, in you go.
-Room for me? -Yes, get in.
Evening, ma'am. l guess this is the best place to be.
Open the gate!
Let us through!
Here, what do you think you're up to?
l'll have you arrested for damaging company's property!
You can't go through!
All right, lads, leave it now and try and save yourselves.
-Still no answer? -Not yet, sir.
-You'd better fire the rest of rockets. -Aye, aye, sir.
Come along, please, ladies. Quickly now.
Come, my dear. lt's time for you to go.
Goodbye, God bless you.
Take care of yourself and Jeanie.
-Seamen to man this boat. -That's us, mates.
Off turns for lowering.
Lower away.
There's only about a dozen in here. That boat's supposed to take forty.
Why don't they put some people in them?
Come on, mate.
Women and children up top.
There are no boats!
Come to the other side!
Look! Look! All the boats are gone!
There's only four.
There must be more.
-Quartermaster. -Stand back, sir.
-That's the last one, sir. -No reply to your signals?
No, sir, l think the baskets must be asleep.
Report to Mr. Murdoch. He's short handed.
Aye, aye, sir.
God help you!
lt's only for a short while.
Your mean will be all right.
-Don't worry! -Back, please.
Sir, Captain t told me to report to you, sir.
Take charge of this boat. Watch yourself or she'll swamp.
Madam, please.
lf l don't get through, will you send this to my sister?
Come along, please.
Don't forget.
Just a minute, sir.
Bit pessimistic, aren't you?
The sea's freezing. A man won't last long in that.
We've drawn a bad hand this time.
l've never been a good loser. l intend to get into a boat.
Then l wish you luck.
No more, no more. No more room in this boat.
No more space in this boat.
Up the other end.
Off turns for lowering.
-Are you ready there? -Sir.
-ls there no one else? -Lower away.
Past lowering.
Lower away.
Well, Phillips?
Nothing fresh, sir.
Carpathia's coming as fast as she can.
The Olympic wanted to know if we're seaming south to meet her.
And the Frankfurt keeps asking for more details.
The idiots! They don't seem to understand, sir.
The engine room's flooding and soon you won't have power to send.
-Tell the Carpathia. -Yes, sir.
-And tell her to hurry. -Yes, sir.
l've got blankets piled at every gangway, sir.
And we're preparing the smoke room and lounges as dormitories.
We shall have to re-group the steerage passengers, though.
All right.
Just a minute.
Our own passengers will have to keep to their cabins.
lt's going to be difficult enough as it is, without them under foot.
Put stewards in every alleywa and tell them that if l see a...
-What is it, Cottam? -From the Titanic, sir.
Her engine room's flooding and she's sinking by the head.
The wireless operator says he won't have power to transmit much longer.
Her captain wants to know how long we'll be.
Tell them another two hours.
Ten ladies!
Keep back!
Ten more ladies.
That's all.
No more in this boat.
Ah, here you are, sister. Take this, it'll help keep you warm.
Oh, no, please.
Don't you worry about me, l got plenty of fat.
Keep pulling.
The Officer said to stand by close to the ship.
lf we stay too close we'll be caught by the suction when she goes down.
You row with me. One of the ladies can steer.
l'm in charge of this boat. Your job's to row.
Some of the ladies can help to row. Can't we, girls?
Sure, it'll keep us warm.
-Well, l. er. -Button up, skipper.
You want rowers, okay, you got 'em.
-Hurry along. -Thank you.
Sorry, only one more lady.
-You go first. -Oh, no.
You've children waiting at home.
Come along, please, ma'am. We haven't got much time.
Right, off turns.
Still here, Miss Evans? We'll get you off in the next boat.
Thank you.
She's going fast now. Are all the boats away?
All except the other two collapsibles.
Well, there'll be no time to get them off the davits.
We'll have to try and float them off as she goes down.
l'll need some hands to get them unlashed.
Hey, you two. Follow me.
What's the use, no one's listening.
People don't listen while eating. But we play just the same.
-lsn't that so, sir? -They say it helps the digestion.
Exactly, that's because it soothes the nerves.
Right, number twenty-four.
The crew are trying to clear two of the collapsible boats.
lf they succeed, l'm sure there'll be a place for you, madam.
You see, you can still go. Please, darling.
No.
We started out together and we'll finish together.
Are you married, Mr. Andrews?
Yes.
And if my wife were here...
l think she'd do as l asked.
But, you have a family?
That would make a difference, wouldn't it?
Perhaps.
Then let me give you both some advice.
Don't stay on the ship until the end.
Put your lifebelts on and...
lower yourselves down into the water by the ropes hanging over the side.
Don't jump if you can avoid it.
When you're in the water, swim away from the ship at once.
The boats will stay well clear when she sinks.
Thank you, we'll remember.
Oh, and wear something white, so they can see you.
l wonder if he'll save himself.
We'll save ourselves.
Now ease forward.
All together. Steady. Keep the strain on those check lines.
Everybody up.
Come on, lads. Up.
Everybody ontop.
Power's going, John.
lt's time to go now, Phillips.
You've done your duty, you can do no more.
Abandon your cabin, it's everyone for himself.
Look after yourselves now. l release you both.
God bless you!
John! John!
lt's no use, John. The power's gone.
Hey, you!
Live and let live, sir! Live and let live!
John! John! John!
Come on, put your weight into it.
Hold on to your check-lines.
Right, keep her square on.
Keep going, Michael.
Hold on to those check-lines!
Leave it, there's no time.
Try and free the starboard collapsible. Hurry!
Abandon ship!
Every man for himself!
Mummy! Mummy where are you?
Come on, this way, this way.
lt's the end, boys.
We've done our duty.
You can go now.
Help here, come back!
Help here!
Out!
Oh, save me, save me!
Keep together!
Clear the ship's side!
Swim for the upturned boat.
Aren't you going to try for it, Mr. Andrews?
Hallo, what are you doing here?
l want my mummy.
Oh, then, we'd better go and find her, hadn't we?
You come with me.
l can't make it.
Come on, Mr. Farrell.
Here you are, Mr. Farrell.
Clear the ship's side! Swim clear! Keep clear!
Keep off this child! Keep of this child!
She's going.
Swim clear! Keep clear!
Look. Oh, look.
Well, we ought to say a prayer.
Our Father, which art in Heaven.
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come! Thy will be done!
Oh, God!
We'll find Mummy. We'll soon find her.
What the hell are we waiting for? Those people are drowning!
This boat isn't full. We can pick some of them up.
Are you mad?
lf we get amongst that lot they'll swamp the boat.
You can't just sit here and do nothing.
Come on, girls. Row!
l give the order around here.
Don't you know you're speaking to a lady?
l know who l'm speaking to and l'm in command of this boat.
You get fresh with me, son, and l'll throw you overboard.
Come on. Row!
You've listened!
Now, look here, l tell you, you'll drown the lot of us.
This boat's returning to pick up survivors.
We'd only get swamped. You heard what he said.
We ought to try, l reckon.
What do you think, sir?
We're crowded enough as it is.
l'm feeling most unwell.
lt's a difficult to say. Only one of us is a seaman.
l think we ought to take his advice.
Well, perhaps if we wait a bit...
until things are quietening down...
and then. we can try.
Wait until they're half dead, you mean.
That won't take long in this cold.
That big steamer that was out there, the one that was firing rockets.
What about it?
Well, she seem s to have gone now, sir.
Yeah?
That big steamer, sir. The one who was firing the rockets.
She seems to have gone now.
-And she didn't fire any more rockets? -No, sir.
Very well. What's the time?
2:45, sir.
All right. Enter it in the log.
Aye, aye, sir.
Get off! Get back, there!
Get away from this boat, there's no room.
You'll have it over! Hey you, get away!
There's no more room. Get 'em off.
Stay off, stay away, she'll capsize, l tell you!
Uh! All right, take it easy!
Get off, then!
Get off!
Get away!
God luck. God bless you.
Come back! No, come on back!
There! Throw him off!
-All right, pull yourselves together. -We can't take any more.
Pull yourselves together.
-Pull yourselves together. -We can't take any more.
-We'll sink! -Shut up! This boat's not sinking yet.
But it soon will be if we don't get organised.
-lt's every man for himself. -Shut up and do what the Officer says!
-That you, Sparks? -Yes, sir.
-How long before the Carpathia gets us? -An hour or so, sir.
Right.
Steady.
There's one back here dead, sir.
-Are you certain? -We are, sir.
Right. Lower him over the side
Lean left, lean left! Gently, gently.
-May the baker come aboard now, sir? -Yes, pull him in.
Lean right, lean right!
Steady!
Thank you, sir.
l beg your pardon, sir. The cold.
Look, sir. Look! Look ahead, sir!
Right, steady, lads, steady!
To your right, to your right! To your right!
That's an officer's whistle.
Make way together, lads. To your right, please, madam.
We should be there by now, sir.
Not a sign of her.
Must have given the wrong position.
lceberg on the port bow, sir.
-Starboard a point. -Starboard one point, sir.
-Slow ahead. -Slow ahead, sir.
Starboard one point.
There's a flare ahead, sir.
Fire a rocket.
-l tell you we're done. -Ah, shut up!
No water, no food.
No compass, no chart.
That's the North Star up there, isn't it?
What's the use of that? We're hundreds of miles from land.
What was that?
A falling star. Flash of lightning!
Lightning, my foot!
That was a rocket.
Look, Pat! There's a ship sending up a rocket.
Sit down, please, ladies. You may lose your balance.
-We'll give 'em an answer. -There, look.
They'll see this.
Oh, look at them rockets! Look t them lovely rockets!
Will that be the Carpathia?
Aren't you glad to see her?
Yes, l'm glad.
but then l'm still alive.
lf only she'd been nearer.
There are quite a lot of ''if'' about it, aren't there, Colonel?
Keep up, Quartermaster, keep that line slack.
lf we'd been steaming a few knots slower...
or if we'd sighted that berg a few seconds earlier...
we might not even have struck.
lf we'd carried required safe boats...
instead of just enough to meet the regulations...
things would have been different again.
Maybe, but you have nothing to reproach yourself with.
You've done all any man could and more.
You're not.
l was going to say, you're not God, Mr. Lightoller.
No seaman ever thinks he is.
l've been at sea since l was a boy. l've been in sail.
l've been shipwrecked before.
l know what the sea can do. But this is different.
-Because we hit an iceberg? -No.
Because we were so sure...
because even though it's happened...
it's still unbelievable.
l don't think, l'll ever feel sure again...
about anything.
Almight God, Father of all mercies...
we, thine unworthy servants...
do give thee most humble and hearty thanks...
for all Thy goodness and loving kindness to us...
and to all men.
Particularly to those who desire to offer up...
their praises and thanksgivings...
for Thy late mercies vouchsafed unto them.
We bless Thee for our creation...
preservation...
and all the blessings of this life...
but above all, for Thine inestimable love...
and redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ...
for the means of grace and for the hope of glory.
And we beseech Thee, give us that due sense of all Thy mercies...
that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful...
and that we shew forth Thy praise, not only with our lips...
but in our lives...
by giving up ourselves to Thy service...
and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days.
The Captain asks for you.
to whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost...
by all honour and glory...
world without end.
Amen.
Sir?
We're at the place now.
l thought you'd like to see for yourself.
Oh, yes. Thank you, sir.
We only found nobody, l'm afraid.
The rest must have been carried further on by the current.
Of course we'll go on searching for survivors...
until we turn back to New York.
Yes, sir. How many?
The Purser's checked the figures now.
We've on board seven hundred and five survivors.
Several of those in the boats were dead, l'm afraid.
-Fifteen hundred lost? -That's right. Yes.
Excuse me, sir.
Oh, Cottam. Yes, what is it?
A message from the Californian, sir. She's nearby.
Just heard about the Titanic.
Wants to know if there's anything she can do.
Tell them no, nothing.
Everything that was humanly possible has been done.
l name this ship Titanic.
Listen to this, Sylvia:
The new White Star Liner, Titanic...
is the largest vessel in the world.
lt 's not only in size.
but also in the luxury of her appointments...
that the Titanic takes first place among the big steamers of the world..
By the provision of Vinolia Otto Toilet Soap.
for her first class passengers...
the Titanic also leads...
as offering 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?
l ask because my wife and l find your sneering remarks...
in bad taste.
What's that?
Let those who wish to belittle their country's achievements...
do so in private.
Every Britisher is proud of the unsinkable Titanic.
Yes, indeed. l 'm sure my husband would agree with you.
He's going to join the Titanic as her Second Officer.
-l... apologize. -A misunderstanding, of course.
Oh, of course, madam. Soap is no laughing matter.
lt was the suggestion of criticism.
Of the advertisement, sir, not the ship.
Quite so.
You're joining her at Liverpool, l take it?
No, sir, Belfast. Then we sail down to Southampton.
Ah, how l envy you!
The newspapers say she's a veritable floating city.
Symbol of progress of man's victory over nature and the elements.
800 cases shelled walnuts, Titanic.
3,200 dozen fresh eggs, Titanic
-lt's all Titanic this. -All Titanic.
250 pound jars Beluga caviar.
2,000 pounds of jam, greengage.
Definitely not the veal, but we'll take the rest, subject to inspection.
Bye!
The final passenger list for the Titanic, sir.
-How many first class? -332, sir.
277, second. 708, steerage.
-Total with crew? -2,208, sir.
More than half the steerage join at Cherbourg and Queenstown.
Here we are, then. Eight wardrobe trunks, ten suitcases.
Eighteen pieces in all.
They're ready.
-All ready, sir. -Thank you.
Well, goodbye, sir. l 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.
-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 to me, will you?
We'll send you a wireless from the ship.
Oh, take care of my little one.
-Well, God speed to you, child. -Thank you, Father.
You'll all come back when your fortunes are made.
We will that, father.
What will you do with the horse and cart?
l'll sell them in Queenstown before we get on the ship.
Well, get a good price, Tom. They're sharp in Queenstown.
Don't worry, Father, l'll watch me step.
Don't grieve, Mrs. Farrell.
lt's a wise thing your husband is doing.
-Can l help you up, miss? -Thank you.
That's very kind of you.
Wait for me!
Do you think they'll promote you to First Officer after this trip?
Well, that depends whether they keep Old Wild on or not.
After all, you were first on the Majestic.
-Ah, but that was temporary. -Don't you mind?
No, Bill Murdoch's the one with his nose out of joint this trip.
Ambitious fellow is Bill.
So are you, you know you are.
l'd rather be second in the Titanic...
than first or even chief in any other ship.
With me, madam, it's the honour of serving the company.
-Hell with the pay! -Language!
What would you like me to bring you back from New York?
Nothing you couldn't buy better or cheaper over here.
Ah, but there is. garters!
Ladies' silk garters with big frilly bows.
There's a shop on Broadway full of 'em.
Just in from Paris. Blue ones, pink ones, scarlet!
What's the matter?
The idea of you buying garters with big frilly bows on them.
-Morning, sir. .Good morning, Pilot.
l understand the engine room wheel has been fixed, sir.
Oh, there should be quite a welcome waiting for us in New York, too.
lt'll be a proud moment for you, Mr. Chairman.
Oh, and for you, Andrews.
You're the man who built her.
You're the one who ought to take the bow.
l'm only the office boy.
We should arrive... Let's see.
-Wednesday morning. -We might do better than that.
-Not out for a fast run this trip. -Oh, no, no, nothing like that.
She'll do better when the engines have settled down.
Naturally, Captain, you'll use your own judgement.
l'm just an ordinary passenger on this trip.
-Mr. Murdoch. -Oh, Andrews.
Get the men to station and let me know when the gangway's landed.
Aye, aye, sir.
See, steady as a rock.
But that's remarkable.
Of course the sea's dead calm at the moment.
All the same, Captain, dead calm or not...
there are lots of other ships that'd be rolling anyway.
That's perfectly true.
As you say, sir, she's as steady as a rock.
Someone must have jogged the table.
So sorry.
-Got any more sugar there? -Yes, sir.
What is it?
More ice warnings from steamers ahead, sir.
One from The America and another from the Baltic.
Just south of Cape Race.
Never known pack ice come that far south before, sir.
Been a mild winter up in the Artic.
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.
lce warnings from steamers ahead of us.
Excuse me.
Serious?
We shall keep a sharp look out.
Hear it? That's the Titanic.
What's she saying?
Best wishes to Joe and Hattie.
See you Wednesday, love Mina and Bill.
Jut private stuff.
Yes, must be a lot of money in that ship.
They've been at it for the best part of the day.
Float ice.
Buy two hundred-thousand 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 is she?
lt's hard to tell. Signal strength's pretty good.
About fifty miles back l should think.
Get this off to all ships, will you:
From this, Californian, icebergs have been seen.
How nicely he sings!
Just sit back!
As well now, that's enough of that. Give us something livelier.
Give us a jig now, Aloysius
-Would you care to dance? -What are you saying?
-Dance? -Can l dance?
You can't dance with a stranger.
Oh, it'is only a dance. Come on now.
Good evening, milady.
Good evening.
Leadville Johnny they called him.
And he was the best god-durn gold miner in Colorado.
Fifteen l was when l married him.
Really?
And he didn't have a cent.
Three months later he struck it rich and we was millionaires.
You know what he did?
He built me a house.
And he had silver dollars cemented all over the floors of every room.
l say, how very tiresome for you.
Evening, sir.
Evening, Kemish.
-Any troubles? -No, sir, she's a beautiful job.
-Thank you, Hesketh. -Good night, sir.
l've sent off as much as l could, John...
but the Purser's office kept sending up more.
Here he is again.
Good evening. Sorry, Mr. Phillips.
Listen:
From the Titanic at sea.
Blimey! Well, how's Cape Race working?
A lot of repeats, not too bad.
Oh, there was an ice report from the Californian.
-lt went to the bridge. -All right.
No peace for the wicked, eh?
Come in!
-What more? -Afraid so.
Put them down there, will you?
-Having trouble, Sparks? -Certainly not.
-Good night. -Good night.
-Keep on course, Q.M. -Aye aye, sir.
You sent for me, sir?
Yes, Chippy, the temperature's dropping.
We don't want a freeze up in the fresh water tanks.
-Keep an eye on them, will you? -Aye aye, sir.
Thank you.
lt's getting 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.
-Evening, Mr. Lightoller. -Good evening, sir.
-Any more ice reports? -No, sir.
What's the temperature like?
lt's almost freezing point, sir, and still dropping.
ln an hour or so we'll be in the Labrador current.
Well, the weather looks clear enough so far.
lf there's the slightest bit of haze, we shall have to slow down.
-Let me know at once if any doubt. -Aye aye, sir.
-Now, Mr. Moody. -Sir?
Tell the lookouts to keep their eyes skinned for small ice and growlers.
There might be some of that about.
-Make sure they understand. -Yes, sir.
And tell 'em to 'pass it on when they're relieved.
Yes, sir.
lce ahead, sir.
Aye, aye.
-Stop engines. -Stop engines.
Stop engines, sir.
That's field ice, Mr. Groves.
l'm not trying to find my way round 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.
You'll have to call her and 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.
l say, you won't drink all the cocoa down there, will you?
l told Chippy to keep his eye on the fresh water.
The lookouts have been warned to keep their eyes skinned for ice.
That's about the lot. l'm off on me rounds.
Thanks, Lights.
You're welcome to it. Good night.
-Oh, sorry, sir. -Hallo, Blake.
Pop my coat in my cabin for me, will you please?
-Yes, sir. -Thank you.
That'll be brandies for the gentlemen and a hock and seltzer for the ladies.
-ls that correct, sir? -That's right.
You're sure about this full speed trial tomorrow?
That's what l heard from one of the officers, sir.
l can't guarantee it, naturally.
Well, here's somebody who ought to be able to tell us.
-Hey, Lieutenant. -Sir?
-Good evening, ladies. -Good evening.
-Have a drink. -Thank you, no, sir, l'm on duty.
We've decided to run a sweep on the ship's run tomorrow.
Now rumour has it the captain's going to see how fast she can go.
-ls that right? -lt's possible.
Now, what would be your guess about the run, Lieutenant?
-l shouldn't tell you that. -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 l may. Please excuse me.
-Good evening, sir. -Good evening, steward.
-Everything all right? -Yes, sir.
-Can l do anything for you, sir? -No, thank you.
-Winning a lot, is he?
-Pardon?
-You know the one l mean. -Yes, sir, he is.
Thought l'd seen him before. Majestic, l think it was.
-Name of Rogers, sir. -lt was Yates last time.
-Can they afford to loose? -Wealthy gentlemen, sir.
lf you get a chance drop them a hint about what they're up against.
-We don't want any complaints. -l'll do that, sir.
Get the ship a bad name. Get you a bad name, too.
-Good night, Steward. -Good night, sir.
l said l'll see you.
Flush.
Here's our position.
The old man said he gave you the rest of the message.
That's right.
-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 l signed off an got a bit of shut eye.
When l get off watch, l'd like to listen in a bit.
All right?
-Beginning to get the code now, -One word in three, sometimes.
Have to make you second operator.
Then you can wake up the detector.
l'll taker you up on that.
-Hallo, Doc. -Hallo, Lights.
-What's the matter, somebody ill? -l'm on an errand of mercy.
Hope she's not too young for you.
You've got an evil mind.
Come in!
Hallo, Doc. What can l do for you?
You can stop working on this grand ship of yours...
and have a night cap.
Well, l've got one here.
This is sound medical advice l'm giving you.
Come in!
What is this?
Restaurant galley hot press not working.
Alterations needed to the writing room.
Two few screws on the State Room coat hooks.
This ship of yours must be falling to bits.
l like to have things just so.
People first, things second.
Your very good health, Mr. Andrews.
Come on.
There's a big ship coming up to starboard, sir.
-How far away is she? -Maybe ten miles, sir.
Well, better find out who she is.
Contact her with the Morse lamp.
Aye, aye, sir.
-What did you see? -lceberg dead ahead, sir.
lceberg 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.
Up the ladders, boys. Come on, up top.
-What is it? -lceberg, sir.
l put her hard a starboard and reversed the engines...
but she was too close.
-Stop engines. -Stop engines.
l splashed my drink.
Steward!
-Yes, l saw it. Huge thing. -Good Lord!
You can't see it now though. Must've just shaved past it.
-What do you think of this souvenir? -Where did you get that from?
lt's off the berg. There's tons of it up forward.
Oh, sorry.
Steward, bring me a whisky and soda.
We've run aground, l tell you.
-We've run around on Newfoundland. -What're you talking about?
Shut up! You don't know the first thing about it.
Shut the dampers and get the fires doused.
l tell you she's thrown a propellor blade.
l was in the old Majestic when the same thing happened.
We'll be going back to Belfast, you see.
They've got the pumps working.
You get a gang down here and draw the fires.
You heard. Come on, me lucky lads.
All right, lads, come on down again.
l don't know.
lt's my birthday today as well.
Don't make a joke!
Well, if there's nothing to see up on deck, l'm going back to bed.
Good night.
What's the trouble?
Nothing serious, sir, in a few hours we'll be on our way again.
Yes?
-Why have we stooped? -A bit of trouble, sir.
The Captain's compliments, would you please join him on the Bridge?
lf you please, sir.
She's making water fast, sir.
The mail hold's practically full already.
-Aren't the pumps working? -Yes, sir.
Thank you, Carpenter.
The engine room say they'll need more.
-This is most unfortunate, Captain. -Yes, sir.
-Do you think she's seriously damaged? -l'm afraid she is.
Excuse me.
How long is this likely to delay us?
We struck a berg. l think she's badly damaged...
l'd like to know how badly.
All right.
l'll go down and have a look.
Oh, glory be!
We can play here.
Oh, no...
if we're going to play a game, we'll play it properly.
You, there.
Oh, well played, sir.
l say, let's go down and join the fun.
But they're steerage passengers.
Anything more you want to see?
No.
Chief, l'd get these men up as soon as you can.
Yes, l'll. l'll do that, Mr. Andrews.
What have we stopped for?
There's talk of an iceberg, ma'am.
We've stopped to avoid crashing.
What happens?
We're stopped and blowing off steam. Something's wrong.
Bumped a bit of ice, l think.
Well, l can't sleep with this racket. Do you want me to give you a hand?
Well, l've finished the Cape Race traffic.
You can help with the accounts, if you like.
Well, l'll get some clothes on.
Do you think we'll have to turn back?
Oh, don't say it!
lf 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 three hundred foot long.
From there to there, below the waterline.
-Do you agree? -Yes, well.
The pumps keep the level in the boiler room...
but these compartments are almost watertight.
Well, what's the answer.
She's going to sink, Captain.
But she can't sink.
She's unsinkable.
She can't float.
Look!
She could float with 3 of her 5 watertight compartments flooded.
She could float with 4 of them gone. But she can't with all 5 full up
These watertight bulkheads here only go as high as E. Deck.
The weight of water in the bow is going to pull her down by the head.
The fifth watertight compartment overflowing into the sixth.
The sixth into the seventh and so on...
as she gets lower.
With that amount of underwater damage, she can't stay afloat.
-How long will she last? -l'm just trying to work that out now.
She made fourteen feet of water...
in the first ten minutes after the collision.
Not very fast.
She should live another hour-and-a half.
Yes, about that, l 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? -Twenty-two hundred or more.
And room in the boats for how many?
Twelve hundred.
l don't think the Board of Trade regulations visualised this situation.
Do you?
Gentlemen, we are in a precarious position.
We must be prepared to abandon the ship.
Mr. Murdoch you will muster the passengers.
Mr. Lightoller, you'll have the boats uncovered and swung out.
Mr. Boxhall, call all hands and get them to boat stations.
Mr. Moody, you will help Mr. Lightoller.
Mr. Wilde and Mr. Pitman will remain on the bridge.
Everything will be done quietly and calmly.
l 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?
l'm afraid not, sir.
Well, where's Andrews?
l'm acting on his advice.
This ship is going to founder.
But she can't.
ln any case, we can't get everyone in the boats.
l know that, sir.
Please God it won't come to that.
The ship is badly damaged. Send out the call for assistance.
-The regulation distress call, sir? -Yes, and at once.
As soon as you're in touch with the ship nearest to us...
tell them to come as quickly as they can.
-You understand? -Yes, sir.
-This is our position. -Thanks.
What about that steamer over there? Who is she?
l don't know. Suppose she's in the ice too.
She stopped at about seven bells.
l tried calling her with the Morse lamp but she didn't take any notice.
-Well, me for bed. -Right.
-Good night. -Good night, sir.
Any luck?
The Frankfurt is at 150 milles.
Olympic says the Mount Temple's nearer.
Well, there must be someone nearer still.
Try sending S.O.S., that's the new call.
lt may be the only chance you'll ever have.
Come in.
Sorry to disturb you, sir, but Captain's orders.
What is it?
There' a little trouble with the ship.
Everyone's to put on warm clothing, get their lifebelts on...
and go up on deck.
-What? -lt's only a precaution, ma'am.
Excuse me, sir.
Everybody up, get dressed, et your lifebelts on at once.
Everybody up, get dressed, get your lifebelts on at once.
What's the matter?
l said, you get dressed, get lifebelt, quick.
Come on! Come on!
l can't understand.
Goodyard, up!
Come on, lads, hurry it up, you've had time enough.
Don't lose your time.
-Mr. Lightoller, l must insist. -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. Will you please go down to the lounge?
Come on, ship those turning handles.
-Stewardess. -Yes, sir?
Why aren't you wearing your lifebelt?
Well, the passengers mustn't think l'm scared.
Let them see you wearing it. Put it on for your own sake, too.
Put it on, please.
Oh, madam, let me help. Come along.
Really, it's too tiresome of them.
Everybody knows this ship can't sink.
Ah, there you are.
And me sleeping sound for the first time since we left Queenstown.
-Never mind now. -lt'll be cold outside.
-Where's Pat off to? -Here, hold my bag, will you?
Get up top, quick.
Mr. Dean, sir.
There's a distress call just come through.
-Who from? -The Titanic. They've struck a berg.
ls this a leg-pull, Sparks?
No, they want us to come at once. They're sinking.
-The Titanic! on't be a fool. -lt's true. 'm going to the Captain.
There's nothing in sight, take over.
Aye, aye, sir.
-Sir, sir. -What the devil's going...
Haven't you learned to knock before you come in here?
lt's a distress call from the Titanic. She's sinking.
l'm sorry, sir. l.
Mr. Dean, turn the ship round
Head North-West.
l'll work the course out for you in a minute.
Now, Cottam.
-You're sure this is the Titanic? -Yes, sir.
-Certain? -Absolutely.
All right, check back. Find out everything you can.
-Tell them we're coming right now. -Yes, sir.
Sir, we've contacted the Carpathia.
East bound from New York. She's on her way to us.
-Well, how far is she? -Fifty-eight miles, sir.
She's making all possible speed. Should reach us in four hours.
-Four hours. -Yes, sir.
Well, what about that ship over there?
About ten miles away. You can se a light.
-lsn't she replying? -No, sir.
She'd blast our ears off if she did.
Maybe she can't keep a twenty-four hour watch.
Maybe she hasn't got wireless at all, sir.
All right, Bride. Thank you.
-Mr. Moody. -Sir?
Tell Mr. Boxall to fire the distress rockets.
One very five minutes, from the port side.
Aye, aye, sir.
Port side boats all swung out, sir. Shall l fill them?
Yes.
Put the women and children in and lower away.
Aye, aye, sir.
-Looked like a rocket, sir. -Yes.
l wonder what a ship like that would want to fire a rocket for?
Right then, number twenty-two.
One, two.
Step aboard please, madam. and l'll pass the children across.
But, what about my husband?
l'm sorry, women and children first.
-My dear, l think you better had. -But in a small boat like that!
-l can't go without my husband. -That lady's right!
-lt's absolutely ridiculous. -Now, madam, l assure you.
Kindly help me out of here, please.
lt can't be helped if she won't go.
Now, madam, please.
Would you be good enough to step into the boat, madam?
And catch my death of cold? Certainly not!
lt's up to you!
-Would you step into the boat, please? -Thank you.
-Eileen! Eileen! -Yes?
You won't bet back on board tomorrow without a pass.
-But l don't see. -l have my orders.
The ladies are certainly safer here than in those little boats.
The Captain's opinion about that is different, sir.
Look here, sir.
l don't know if you've noticed it, but this ship has got quite a list on her.
That's not right.
l don't suppose, that's very serious. This boat can't sink, that's certain.
Get a move on.
Come on lads, come on.
Move along there.
What's the use, Chief?
Well, all the pumps in Belfast would never keep that water down.
But the longer we can keep her afloat, the more lives there'll be saved.
So put your backs into it.
-Sorry, sir. -Oh, Mr. Andrews.
-Martin, there's a job for you. -Aren't you going up top, sir?
Open up all spare cabins and take out all life belts and spare blankets.
Get your men to distribute them. The blankets to the boats.
Right, sir. l'll see to it at once.
-Oh, Mr. Andrews. -Yes?
l'd like you to tell me something.
l've a wife and 3 children on board. How serious is it?
l'm not the panicking kind.
The ship has about an hour to live.
A little more, if some of the upper bulkheads hold...
but not much more.
Get your wife and children into the boats.
Thank you. Oh, Mr. Andrews.
l take it you and l may both be in the same boat later.
Yes, we may.
-Oh, this way, madam. -This way, please.
Please, will you tell me what's going on, Robert?
People have been rushing about, and noises overhead.
Oh, it's very tiresome.
We've struck an iceberg and damaged the ship.
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.
All women and children must go up on deck and get into the lifeboats.
-Oh, no! -Afraid so, dear.
But l don't want to wake the children. ls it really necessary?
Yes.
l think we should do what the Captain says.
Very well, Robert.
We must wrap the children up warmly.
We can take the blankets off the beds, too.
l can deal with Tom if you'll look after the girls.
Yes, all right.
Tom, Tom, come on, old boy. You've got to get up now.
Anne, Jennifer. Come along, darling.
Come on! Come on!
Up, quick!
Out of it! Quick, lads. The bulkhead's going.
Get to your boats, please.
-lt's only a safety precaution, madam. -l refuse to wear it.
-You must wear your life jacket. -But l dislike it intensively.
-l don't. -Try it on, sister.
Everyone's wearing them this season.
They're the latest thing.
Steward, will you cancel my appointment with the hairdresser?
-Tell her l've gone boating. -Yes, madam.
-Really, l'd rather not wear it. -Come along, ladies.
Will you let me have them, please? A big oneThat's mine.
Be quiet. Too many people.
Purser, here, purser, please. l must have my jewels.
They're in the safe. l've a receipt here to prove it.
But the word's going round...
that the women and children are taking to the boats.
You can't go through here.
This is not the way to the steerage boat deck.
Which is the way, then?
They'll be opening the lower deck ports when the orders are given.
Oh, they will, will they? We'll soon see about that.
Cut your heating and hot water.
Cut anything you like.
l've got to have every ounce of steam you can give me.
Aye, aye, sir.
Mr. Dean, get all hands on deck and prepare to receive survivors.
Knock off all routine work. Get your boats ready and swing them out.
Rig electric lights down the side of the ship.
Open all gangway doors.
Hook a block and line rope in every gangway door.
Canvas slings. Get those ready for the injured.
Oh, and see that all your side ladders are down.
-Have you got that? -Aye, aye, sir.
Quartermaster!
Telephone the doctor and Chief Steward.
Ask them to come and see me on the Bridge now.
No, no, she can't get on, she'll swamp it!
You must let her on! lt' Mummy!
You must come on! Let her on!
lt's all right, lady. You can have my place.
-Thank you very much. -Joe, you take the helm.
-Mummy. -Right, darling.
Stand by to lower.
What's the matter? Aren't you in charge of this boat?
Oh, l'm no seaman, sir. Joe can manage just as well.
Ladies first, eh, sir?
Lower away together.
Quickly. Come along, you men.
-Hold it! -What the.
Will you kindly not interfere, sir.
We've got to get these boats away.
We're getting them away. Do you want me to drown everybody?
Because that's what would happen if l lower these boats too quickly.
Now stand back, please.
Carry on lowering.
Hey! There'll be trouble about that when we get to New York.
What's the matter with him? ls he blind?
That's six rockets she's fired, sir.
Yes. Maybe l'd better tell the Captain.
What is it?
That big steamer, sir, she's firing rockets.
Six up to now.
Well, perhaps they're company signals of some kind.
Call her up with the Morse lamp and ask her.
Aye, aye, sir.
The Captain thinks she must be signalling to another ship about the ice.
-Looks a bit queer, doesn't she? -l'll try signalling her again.
lt's as if she's listing.
That's because of the angle she's at to us.
lf you please, madam.
My friend has been put into that boat. We want to stay together.
-Madam, you must get in. -But l don't see why.
Madam, please, madam, you cannot choose your boat.
Gangway please, gangway.
Come on, girls.
l want to go back to bed, Daddy.
You're going for a ride in a boat, old son.
First, they tell us to go up, then they tell us to wait down here.
The boats are up top, ma'am.
-l wish they'd make up their mind. -Very sorry, ma'am.
-The indecision is most bewildering. -Yes, ma'am.
lf there' no danger, why do you want us to put our lifebelts on?
l'm not here to argue with you. Want everybody with their lifebelts on.
Pat and l have found a way up. Follow me.
-Where is Pat? -He's gone ahead.
lt may be somebody trying to signal, but l can't make any sense out of it.
Could be a masthead light flickering, couldn't it, sir?
lf l had a gun, l'd put a shell into them.
This way, madam. As quickly as you can, please.
Straight the way down to the end, please.
The water's up to ''E'' deck forward. There's not much time left.
-lf they won't get in, chuck 'em in. -Right.
-Keep straight on to the boar deck. -Oh, this way, madam.
-Straight in. -As quickly as you can.
Right the way down to the end, please.
-Please don't put me in the boat. -Now come along, madam.
l'd rather die, l tell you.
l've never been in an open boat in my life.
No, l can't do it. l shall fall.
You've got to go, madam, as you may as well keep quiet.
Off we go, then.
Good boy, Michael.
Through here, now.
Here, l say, no steerage up here. This is Second Class.
Good God, man will you let these ladies pass to the boats?
lt's against the rules. l shall lose me job.
You'll lose your teeth if you don't shut up.
-Get off me. -Little rat.
Come on, quick. Look there, which way to the boats?
Any way you like, friend. All roads lead to Rome.
This way, Pat.
No, no.
Come along, madam.
Please, Lottie, for God's sake, be brave and go.
l'll get a place in another boat. Come on, Lottie, please.
Robert, l can't go through with it.
We'll have to forgo the drive down to Philadelphia...
and take the train.
l can't leave you here, Robert.
Cousin Henry won't mind us being one day late, but not two.
l'm not going, Robert.
My dear...
l never expected to ask you to obey me...
but this is one time you must.
lt's only a matter of form for you and the children to go first.
Everyone here will be quite safe.
-ls that the truth? -Certainly it is.
lf you please, madam. The children will follow.
-Be nice and look after your mother. -Yes.
There we are, hup.
Goodbye, my dear son.
Come on, son.
-Thank you. -Right.
-Keep back, we'll clear of the boat. -Aye, aye, sir.
Stand back, come on, everybody,
Stand back please, sir. We're going to lower.
Right, lower away together.
Slowly!
Watch your hands, ladies.
Keep them well inside the boat.
-Say goodbye. -Goodbye, Daddy.
Let's follow somebody, Pat.
No, no let's try this way. Come on.
First class!
Come on, Pat.
l don't care, Mary. l don't like the look of it.
We're going up.
Just a minute.
You'll be told when to go up.
Why?
Right, eighteen.
Right, lower away together.
Hold it.
Please.
There's room in the boat, l thought.
Women and children only.
Miss Russell, l thought you'd gone to the boat.
My pig, l must have my lucky pig.
l 've had enough.
-We can settle later, if you like. -Yeah, yeah, later.
-Maybe he's got an appointment. -Maybe he's right.
l don't know much about ships...
but l'm beginning to think that we're in a tight corner.
Then what shall we play now, gentlemen, Happy Families?
-Well, Phillips? -Carpathia, sir
She's making 17 knots. and should be with us about 3:30.
That'll be too late.
There may be someone nearer, keep trying.
Yes, sir.
-l got you a life belt, John. -Put it down there.
-Don't they see us? -No, sir.
There was a light flashing but it must have come from their masthead.
-Quartermaster Rowe. -Sir?
-Can you send and read Morse? -Yes, sir.
Then signal, and keep signalling:
We are the Titanic, sinking. Please have your boats ready!
Aye aye, sir.
-Go along and help with the boats. -Yes, sir.
-Mr. Boxhall. -Sir?
Ask Mr. Wilde where the arms and ammunition are kept.
-They may be needed later. -Yes, sir.
No, no, l don't want to go.
lt's an order that you have to obey.
Come along!
Come along, ladies. There's no time to lose.
You heard what he said, the pair of you.
Get along. The same with you now, come on.
My child, go.
Your boat full, Mr. Lowe?
-There's some ladies here. -Come along then, please.
Quickly, come along.
Quickly, ladies, hurry.
-Come along, please. -Go along with you now.
Watch your step.
Plenty of room in the back.
Say, we only got one sailor with us. That's not enough to manage this boat.
-Hold it, there! -Fast lowering!
What's the matter?
Hey, stop, we only got one sailor on this boat?
Are there any spare hands here?
l'll go if you like.
-Are you a sailor? -l'm a yachtsman.
lf you're seaman enough to nip down that lifeline, you can go.
Below! Let's have that line!
Right. Good luck.
Lower away together.
Women and children to the boats.
Women and children first.
-Please, Rachael, get in the boat. -Yes, Mrs. Straus, you must.
l've always stayed with my husband. So why should l leave him now?
Please, be sensible.
We have been living together for many years, lsodor.
Where you go, l go.
Sure nobody'd object to an old gentleman like you going in a boat.
l'll ask the officer.
No, l will not go before the other men.
We stay.
Come, my dear.
She's right, you se. We'll stay together, too.
But she's old, you're young! Please, darling.
l can look after myself.
We both can.
Watch your step!
Wait a minute! He can't go. lt's women and children only.
Of course he can go. He's only thirteen.
All right, son, go on. You can look after your mother.
Now, keep back, please, ladies and gentlemen!
lt's absurd!
On the other side husbands are allowed to go with women.
Why on earth we're standing here?
But...
will there be room in the boats for everybody?
Of course, there will.
Yes, oughtn't we to ask?
Somebody just said we had to hang about here.
-What are we supposed to do, mate? -l don't know.
Sir!
Please, sir, where are we supposed to go?
Put those cigarettes out at once. Don't you know the rules, yet?
l'll have you on the Captain's report.
Come on, you two, out of it! Come on!
Let me stay in the boat! Please.
Let me stay in the boat!
All officers are requested to report to the chief Officer's cabin, sir.
Right.
No men are allowed in these boats...
until all the women have gone.
-May l go too? -Yes, sir, in you go.
-Room for me? -Yes, get in.
Evening, ma'am. l guess this is the best place to be.
Open the gate!
Let us through!
Here, what do you think you're up to?
l'll have you arrested for damaging company's property!
You can't go through!
All right, lads, leave it now and try and save yourselves.
-Still no answer? -Not yet, sir.
-You'd better fire the rest of rockets. -Aye, aye, sir.
Come along, please, ladies. Quickly now.
Come, my dear. lt's time for you to go.
Goodbye, God bless you.
Take care of yourself and Jeanie.
-Seamen to man this boat. -That's us, mates.
Off turns for lowering.
Lower away.
There's only about a dozen in here. That boat's supposed to take forty.
Why don't they put some people in them?
Come on, mate.
Women and children up top.
There are no boats!
Come to the other side!
Look! Look! All the boats are gone!
There's only four.
There must be more.
-Quartermaster. -Stand back, sir.
-That's the last one, sir. -No reply to your signals?
No, sir, l think the baskets must be asleep.
Report to Mr. Murdoch. He's short handed.
Aye, aye, sir.
God help you!
lt's only for a short while.
Your mean will be all right.
-Don't worry! -Back, please.
Sir, Captain t told me to report to you, sir.
Take charge of this boat. Watch yourself or she'll swamp.
Madam, please.
lf l don't get through, will you send this to my sister?
Come along, please.
Don't forget.
Just a minute, sir.
Bit pessimistic, aren't you?
The sea's freezing. A man won't last long in that.
We've drawn a bad hand this time.
l've never been a good loser. l intend to get into a boat.
Then l wish you luck.
No more, no more. No more room in this boat.
No more space in this boat.
Up the other end.
Off turns for lowering.
-Are you ready there? -Sir.
-ls there no one else? -Lower away.
Past lowering.
Lower away.
Well, Phillips?
Nothing fresh, sir.
Carpathia's coming as fast as she can.
The Olympic wanted to know if we're seaming south to meet her.
And the Frankfurt keeps asking for more details.
The idiots! They don't seem to understand, sir.
The engine room's flooding and soon you won't have power to send.
-Tell the Carpathia. -Yes, sir.
-And tell her to hurry. -Yes, sir.
l've got blankets piled at every gangway, sir.
And we're preparing the smoke room and lounges as dormitories.
We shall have to re-group the steerage passengers, though.
All right.
Just a minute.
Our own passengers will have to keep to their cabins.
lt's going to be difficult enough as it is, without them under foot.
Put stewards in every alleywa and tell them that if l see a...
-What is it, Cottam? -From the Titanic, sir.
Her engine room's flooding and she's sinking by the head.
The wireless operator says he won't have power to transmit much longer.
Her captain wants to know how long we'll be.
Tell them another two hours.
Ten ladies!
Keep back!
Ten more ladies.
That's all.
No more in this boat.
Ah, here you are, sister. Take this, it'll help keep you warm.
Oh, no, please.
Don't you worry about me, l got plenty of fat.
Keep pulling.
The Officer said to stand by close to the ship.
lf we stay too close we'll be caught by the suction when she goes down.
You row with me. One of the ladies can steer.
l'm in charge of this boat. Your job's to row.
Some of the ladies can help to row. Can't we, girls?
Sure, it'll keep us warm.
-Well, l. er. -Button up, skipper.
You want rowers, okay, you got 'em.
-Hurry along. -Thank you.
Sorry, only one more lady.
-You go first. -Oh, no.
You've children waiting at home.
Come along, please, ma'am. We haven't got much time.
Right, off turns.
Still here, Miss Evans? We'll get you off in the next boat.
Thank you.
She's going fast now. Are all the boats away?
All except the other two collapsibles.
Well, there'll be no time to get them off the davits.
We'll have to try and float them off as she goes down.
l'll need some hands to get them unlashed.
Hey, you two. Follow me.
What's the use, no one's listening.
People don't listen while eating. But we play just the same.
-lsn't that so, sir? -They say it helps the digestion.
Exactly, that's because it soothes the nerves.
Right, number twenty-four.
The crew are trying to clear two of the collapsible boats.
lf they succeed, l'm sure there'll be a place for you, madam.
You see, you can still go. Please, darling.
No.
We started out together and we'll finish together.
Are you married, Mr. Andrews?
Yes.
And if my wife were here...
l think she'd do as l asked.
But, you have a family?
That would make a difference, wouldn't it?
Perhaps.
Then let me give you both some advice.
Don't stay on the ship until the end.
Put your lifebelts on and...
lower yourselves down into the water by the ropes hanging over the side.
Don't jump if you can avoid it.
When you're in the water, swim away from the ship at once.
The boats will stay well clear when she sinks.
Thank you, we'll remember.
Oh, and wear something white, so they can see you.
l wonder if he'll save himself.
We'll save ourselves.
Now ease forward.
All together. Steady. Keep the strain on those check lines.
Everybody up.
Come on, lads. Up.
Everybody ontop.
Power's going, John.
lt's time to go now, Phillips.
You've done your duty, you can do no more.
Abandon your cabin, it's everyone for himself.
Look after yourselves now. l release you both.
God bless you!
John! John!
lt's no use, John. The power's gone.
Hey, you!
Live and let live, sir! Live and let live!
John! John! John!
Come on, put your weight into it.
Hold on to your check-lines.
Right, keep her square on.
Keep going, Michael.
Hold on to those check-lines!
Leave it, there's no time.
Try and free the starboard collapsible. Hurry!
Abandon ship!
Every man for himself!
Mummy! Mummy where are you?
Come on, this way, this way.
lt's the end, boys.
We've done our duty.
You can go now.
Help here, come back!
Help here!
Out!
Oh, save me, save me!
Keep together!
Clear the ship's side!
Swim for the upturned boat.
Aren't you going to try for it, Mr. Andrews?
Hallo, what are you doing here?
l want my mummy.
Oh, then, we'd better go and find her, hadn't we?
You come with me.
l can't make it.
Come on, Mr. Farrell.
Here you are, Mr. Farrell.
Clear the ship's side! Swim clear! Keep clear!
Keep off this child! Keep of this child!
She's going.
Swim clear! Keep clear!
Look. Oh, look.
Well, we ought to say a prayer.
Our Father, which art in Heaven.
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come! Thy will be done!
Oh, God!
We'll find Mummy. We'll soon find her.
What the hell are we waiting for? Those people are drowning!
This boat isn't full. We can pick some of them up.
Are you mad?
lf we get amongst that lot they'll swamp the boat.
You can't just sit here and do nothing.
Come on, girls. Row!
l give the order around here.
Don't you know you're speaking to a lady?
l know who l'm speaking to and l'm in command of this boat.
You get fresh with me, son, and l'll throw you overboard.
Come on. Row!
You've listened!
Now, look here, l tell you, you'll drown the lot of us.
This boat's returning to pick up survivors.
We'd only get swamped. You heard what he said.
We ought to try, l reckon.
What do you think, sir?
We're crowded enough as it is.
l'm feeling most unwell.
lt's a difficult to say. Only one of us is a seaman.
l think we ought to take his advice.
Well, perhaps if we wait a bit...
until things are quietening down...
and then. we can try.
Wait until they're half dead, you mean.
That won't take long in this cold.
That big steamer that was out there, the one that was firing rockets.
What about it?
Well, she seem s to have gone now, sir.
Yeah?
That big steamer, sir. The one who was firing the rockets.
She seems to have gone now.
-And she didn't fire any more rockets? -No, sir.
Very well. What's the time?
2:45, sir.
All right. Enter it in the log.
Aye, aye, sir.
Get off! Get back, there!
Get away from this boat, there's no room.
You'll have it over! Hey you, get away!
There's no more room. Get 'em off.
Stay off, stay away, she'll capsize, l tell you!
Uh! All right, take it easy!
Get off, then!
Get off!
Get away!
God luck. God bless you.
Come back! No, come on back!
There! Throw him off!
-All right, pull yourselves together. -We can't take any more.
Pull yourselves together.
-Pull yourselves together. -We can't take any more.
-We'll sink! -Shut up! This boat's not sinking yet.
But it soon will be if we don't get organised.
-lt's every man for himself. -Shut up and do what the Officer says!
-That you, Sparks? -Yes, sir.
-How long before the Carpathia gets us? -An hour or so, sir.
Right.
Steady.
There's one back here dead, sir.
-Are you certain? -We are, sir.
Right. Lower him over the side
Lean left, lean left! Gently, gently.
-May the baker come aboard now, sir? -Yes, pull him in.
Lean right, lean right!
Steady!
Thank you, sir.
l beg your pardon, sir. The cold.
Look, sir. Look! Look ahead, sir!
Right, steady, lads, steady!
To your right, to your right! To your right!
That's an officer's whistle.
Make way together, lads. To your right, please, madam.
We should be there by now, sir.
Not a sign of her.
Must have given the wrong position.
lceberg on the port bow, sir.
-Starboard a point. -Starboard one point, sir.
-Slow ahead. -Slow ahead, sir.
Starboard one point.
There's a flare ahead, sir.
Fire a rocket.
-l tell you we're done. -Ah, shut up!
No water, no food.
No compass, no chart.
That's the North Star up there, isn't it?
What's the use of that? We're hundreds of miles from land.
What was that?
A falling star. Flash of lightning!
Lightning, my foot!
That was a rocket.
Look, Pat! There's a ship sending up a rocket.
Sit down, please, ladies. You may lose your balance.
-We'll give 'em an answer. -There, look.
They'll see this.
Oh, look at them rockets! Look t them lovely rockets!
Will that be the Carpathia?
Aren't you glad to see her?
Yes, l'm glad.
but then l'm still alive.
lf only she'd been nearer.
There are quite a lot of ''if'' about it, aren't there, Colonel?
Keep up, Quartermaster, keep that line slack.
lf we'd been steaming a few knots slower...
or if we'd sighted that berg a few seconds earlier...
we might not even have struck.
lf we'd carried required safe boats...
instead of just enough to meet the regulations...
things would have been different again.
Maybe, but you have nothing to reproach yourself with.
You've done all any man could and more.
You're not.
l was going to say, you're not God, Mr. Lightoller.
No seaman ever thinks he is.
l've been at sea since l was a boy. l've been in sail.
l've been shipwrecked before.
l know what the sea can do. But this is different.
-Because we hit an iceberg? -No.
Because we were so sure...
because even though it's happened...
it's still unbelievable.
l don't think, l'll ever feel sure again...
about anything.
Almight God, Father of all mercies...
we, thine unworthy servants...
do give thee most humble and hearty thanks...
for all Thy goodness and loving kindness to us...
and to all men.
Particularly to those who desire to offer up...
their praises and thanksgivings...
for Thy late mercies vouchsafed unto them.
We bless Thee for our creation...
preservation...
and all the blessings of this life...
but above all, for Thine inestimable love...
and redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ...
for the means of grace and for the hope of glory.
And we beseech Thee, give us that due sense of all Thy mercies...
that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful...
and that we shew forth Thy praise, not only with our lips...
but in our lives...
by giving up ourselves to Thy service...
and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days.
The Captain asks for you.
to whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost...
by all honour and glory...
world without end.
Amen.
Sir?
We're at the place now.
l thought you'd like to see for yourself.
Oh, yes. Thank you, sir.
We only found nobody, l'm afraid.
The rest must have been carried further on by the current.
Of course we'll go on searching for survivors...
until we turn back to New York.
Yes, sir. How many?
The Purser's checked the figures now.
We've on board seven hundred and five survivors.
Several of those in the boats were dead, l'm afraid.
-Fifteen hundred lost? -That's right. Yes.
Excuse me, sir.
Oh, Cottam. Yes, what is it?
A message from the Californian, sir. She's nearby.
Just heard about the Titanic.
Wants to know if there's anything she can do.
Tell them no, nothing.
Everything that was humanly possible has been done.
