Titanic Sinks After Iceberg Collision off Newfoundland
The Titanic strikes a submerged iceberg and sinks in the Atlantic off Newfoundland. First Officer Murdoch and Captain Smith command bravely as lifeboats launch and are filled slowly. Passengers endure cold, many remain aboard believing the ship could yet be saved until the vessel breaks apart and disappears. Survivors describe calm crowds, chaotic lifeboat launches, and a swift, near-silent final plunge.
