A DISASTER OF TITANIC PROPORTIONS

At 11.39 p.m on the evening of Sunday 14 April 1912, (11) LOOKOUTS Frederick

Fleet and Reginald Lee on the forward mast of the Titanic (12) SIGHTED an

eerie, black mass coming into view directly in front of the ship. Fleet picked up

the phone to the helm, waited for Sixth Officer Moody to answer, and yelled

“Iceberg, right (13) AHEAD!”. The greatest disaster in (14) MARITIME history

was about to be set in motion.

Thirty-seven seconds later, despite the efforts of officers in the bridge and engine

room to steer around the iceberg, the Titanic struck a piece of (15)

SUBMERGED ice, bursting rivets in the ship’s hull and flooding the first five

watertight (16) COMPARTMENTS. The ship’s designer, Thomas Andrews,

carried out a visual (17) INSPECTION of the ship’s damage and informed

Captain Smith at midnight that the ship would sink in less than two hours. By

12.30 a.m, the lifeboats were filled with women and children, after Smith had

given the command for them to be uncovered and swung out 15 minutes earlier.

The first lifeboat was (18) SUCCESSFULLY lowered 15 minutes later, with only

28 of its 65 seats occupied. By 1.15 a.m, the (19) WATERLINE was beginning

to reach the Titanic’s name on the ship’s bow, and over the next hour every

lifeboat would be released as officers struggled to maintain order amongst the

(20) GROWING panic on board.
