Those on Carpathia were startled by the scene that greeted them as the sun rose: "fields of ice on which, like points on the landscape, rested innumerable pyramids of ice." [208] Captain Arthur Rostron of Carpathia saw ice all around, including 20large bergs measuring up to 200 feet (61m) high and numerous smaller bergs, as well as ice floes and debris from Titanic. [208] It appeared to Carpathia 's passengers that their ship was in the middle of a vast white plain of ice, studded with icebergs appearing like hills in the distance.

The remaining boats were filled much closer to capacity and in an increasing rush. No.11 was filled with five people more than its rated capacity. As it was lowered, it was nearly flooded by water being pumped out of the ship. No.13 narrowly avoided the same problem but those aboard were unable to release the ropes from which the boat had been lowered. It drifted astern, directly under No.15 as it was being lowered. The ropes were cut in time and both boats made it away safely. [135] Sinking of the Titanic by Henry Reuterdahl Broad, William J. (8 April 1997).

A few hours later, the Titanic called at Cherbourg Harbour in north-western France, a journey of 80 nautical miles (148km; 92mi), where she took on passengers. [9] Her next port of call was Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland, which she reached around midday on 11 April. [10] She left in the afternoon after taking on more passengers and stores.

The ice conditions were attributed to a mild winter that caused large numbers of icebergs to shift off the west coast of Greenland. [18]

From the time of the collision to the moment of her sinking, at least 35,000 long tons (36,000t) of water flooded into Titanic, causing her displacement to nearly double from 48,300 long tons (49,100t) to over 83,000 long tons (84,000t). [69] The flooding did not proceed at a constant pace, nor was it distributed evenly throughout the ship, due to the configuration of the flooded compartments. Her initial list to starboard was caused by asymmetrical flooding of the starboard side as water poured down a passageway at the bottom of the ship. [70] When the passageway was fully flooded, the list corrected itself but the ship later began to list to port by up to ten degrees as that side also flooded asymmetrically.

A fire had begun in one of the Titanic 's coal bins approximately 10 days prior to the ship's departure, and continued to burn for several days into the voyage, but it was over on 14 April. [19] [20] The weather improved significantly during the course of the day, from brisk winds and moderate seas in the morning to a crystal-clear calm by evening, as the ship's path took her beneath an arctic high-pressure system. [21] 14 April 1912 Iceberg warnings The iceberg thought to have been hit by Titanic, photographed the morning of 15 April 1912 by SS Prinz Adalbert's chief steward. The iceberg was reported to have a streak of red paint from a ship's hull along its waterline on one side. That was until a strike by Swordfish torpedo bombers from HMS Ark Royal late on May 26 – the last hope of slowing or halting the Germans.

Who Sank the Boat" won the Gaelyn Gordon Award in 2001, an annual award for a work of fiction by a living author, that is still in print, and is "generally recongnised as a successful, enduring children's book".

The Titanic Story: Hard Choices, Dangerous Decisions. Chicago: Open Court Publishing. ISBN 978-0-8126-9396-6. Within 45 minutes of the collision, at least 13,500 long tons (13,700t) of water had entered the ship. This was far too much for Titanic 's ballast and bilge pumps to handle; the total pumping capacity of all the pumps combined was only 1,700 long tons (1,700t) per hour. [67] Andrews informed the captain that the first five compartments were flooded, and therefore Titanic was doomed. Andrews accurately predicted that she could remain afloat for no longer than roughly two hours. [68]
