Titanic: Tragedy at Sea
It was a part of nature. Three hundred years it had taken to achieve it's full size and now had begun to slowly make it's way through what would become the Labrador Sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They were called "mountains of ice"-- icebergs. Undisturbed, this iceberg would become the most notorious iceberg of all time. In the early part of January 1912, a large piece had broken off it's parent glacier and slowly made it's way down the Labrador Sea and into the North Atlantic. Fate would connect this iceberg with the most luxurious ship ever built. On Sunday, April 14,1912 at 11:40pm, history would be made as the Titanic collided with this iceberg--ripping apart her rivets and allowing the "unsinkable" ship to founder 2 hours and 40 minutes later. Here is the real story of the "Tragedy at Sea."
NOTE- This almost certainly is the iceberg the Titanic had struck on April 14,1912. It was photographed by the chief stewart of the liner Prinze Adelbert on the morning of April 15,1912, just a few miles south of where the Titanic went down. The steward hadn't yet heard about the Titanic. The reason he had taken the photo was the smear of red paint along the base of the berg, indicating that it had collided with a ship sometime in the previous twelve hours. This picture is a part of Walter Lord's collection.
