The Messages
The first two messages about iceburgs were recieved. The radio room worker MR. Harold Bride took the second message to the captain. "It's from the Carolina sir, she is reporting iceburgs and pack ice ahead." said the workman. The captian took the note and pinned it to the message board.

The life Boats
The band played classic music to calm the panicing people. Woman and children were being rushed into the life boats. The sad thing about this was there was not enough life boats for even 3/4 of the people on board and they wernt even filling the life boats completely. -

THe boat sunk faster and was allmost under water and the captain had finally released the workmen from their job. They had done all that they coukd do. All the life boats were gone, the 3rd class passengers and some 2nd class passengers had already had their rude welcome to the icy cold water and death. The band stopped playing and htere was a gastly silence. By 2:00 a.m the Titanic had had its last breath and sadly sunk.
