The two ships came dangerously close, but Titanic managed to pass without a collision. No impact occurred, although the incident delayed Titanic's departure by about 30 minutes while the situation was brought under control.

Titanic then continued toward Cherbourg, France, beginning the maiden voyage that would end just five days later in the North Atlantic.

How Big Was the Titanic Iceberg?

The iceberg that Titanic struck was far larger than what passengers could see above the water.

Modern estimates suggest the iceberg may have been roughly **70–150 meters (230–490 feet) long and 20–40 meters (65–130 feet) high above the water. Its full underwater mass would have been considerably larger because most of an iceberg's volume remains below the surface.

Between about 9:30 and 11:30 a.m., trains carrying Second and Third Class passengers arrived at the dock. Later, at around 11:30 a.m., the First Class boat train arrived from London, bringing Titanic's wealthier passengers to the ship.

In total, 923 passengers boarded Titanic at Southampton. After boarding, First Class passengers were escorted to their accommodations while other passengers made their way to their assigned areas.

At around noon, Titanic left Southampton and began her historic maiden voyage across the Atlantic.

The four surviving deck officers of RMS Titanic, taken in 1912 shortly after the disaster. They were the only four of Titanic's eight deck officers to survive.

From left to right, standing:

Harold Lowe — Fifth Officer
Lowe commanded Lifeboat 14 and later returned toward the wreck site to search for survivors in the water.

Charles Lightoller — Second Officer
The highest-ranking Titanic officer to survive. He escaped on the overturned Collapsible B after the ship sank.

Joseph Boxhall — Fourth Officer
Boxhall helped with navigation and distress signals and later took command of Lifeboat 2.

Herbert Pitman — Third Officer, seated
Pitman was placed in command of Lifeboat 5, one of the first boats to leave Titanic.

The other four deck officers*Captain Edward Smith, Chief Officer Henry Wilde, First Officer William Murdoch, and Sixth Officer James Moody—did not survive.

All four survivors later gave evidence during the British inquiry into the Titanic disaster, providing important firsthand accounts of the evacuation and sinking.

The scene takes place outside Canute Chambers on Canute Road in Southampton, which was the main port where a large portion of the Titanic's crew lived and boarded.

Over 500 residents from Southampton lost their lives in the disaster, meaning nearly every family in the local seafaring community was affected.

The paper sheets pinned to the board contain the eagerly awaited and heart-wrenching names of those saved or confirmed lost.

While often mislabeled online as the Titanic crew from 1912, white summer uniforms were never actually worn or photographed aboard the Titanic because its sole voyage took place in April (spring), when standard navy blue uniforms were required.

Unlike Titanic's relatively intact bow, the stern suffered extensive structural damage when the ship broke apart during the sinking. Its decks and internal structures were heavily crushed and distorted when it struck the seafloor.

The wreck was discovered in 1985, and later expeditions used remotely operated vehicles and high-resolution imaging to document the stern in much greater detail. A major 2010 expedition produced a detailed photographic mosaic of the damaged stern.

Before and after - Titanic's First-Class Elevator Machinery

Titanic had three electric elevators for First Class, located beside the forward Grand Staircase. They connected the Upper Decks from E Deck to A Deck, allowing passengers to move between several levels without using the stairs.

The elevators were built by R. Waygood & Co. of London and were considered an advanced feature for a passenger liner in 1912. Each elevator could carry a load of about 15 cwt (1,680 lb / 762 kg) and traveled at approximately 100 feet per minute.

Unlike modern elevators, the machinery was located above the elevator shaft. A 6-horsepower electric motor drove the winding mechanism, which used a steel worm and phosphor-bronze worm wheel, a winding drum, steel cables, and a counterweight. An automatic electric brake engaged if power was interrupted.

The elevator cars themselves were finished in dark mahogany, with glass roofs, electric lighting, upholstered seating, and collapsible entrance gates that were electrically locked before the elevator could operate.

For Titanic's First Class passengers, these elevators were more than a convenience—they were part of the ship's modern luxury and engineering design, bringing the technology of an early 20th-century hotel onto the world's largest passenger liner.

In the hours after Titanic struck the iceberg, early newspaper reports gave the public a completely wrong picture.

Conflicting wireless messages suggested that Titanic's passengers had been rescued, or that the damaged ship was being towed to safety. Some newspapers even published headlines such as “Titanic Sinking; No Lives Lost” and “All Titanic Passengers Are Safe.”

The reports were based on incomplete and inaccurate information arriving by wireless.

Only later did the truth become clear: Titanic had sunk, and more than 1,490 people had died.

For a brief time, families around the world believed their loved ones were safe 😰
