Esta pasada madrugada se han cumplido 100 años del hundimiento del Titanic. La tragedia ha sido reproducida en tiempo real desde la cuenta de Twitter @TitanicRealTime con un hashtag diferente para cada punto de vista de la narración: el capitán, la tripulación, los pasajeros de primera clase, los de tercera, el director de orquesta, los ingenieros, y más.

He usado un código de colores para distinguirlos, marcando especialmente la narración del capitán en negrita, la de los pasajeros de primera clase en azul, los de tercera clase en rojo, el director de la orquesta en verde y el punto de vista del Carpathia, el barco que acudió a rescatar a los supervivientes en gris. Aquí tienen la recopilación de todos los tweets que han escrito.

#captain Exactly a month now before Titanic's journey begins, I cannot wait to see her completed and on the ocean!
#engineering In her construction, Titanic really has benefited from the experience we gained from working on Olympic.
#engineering Compared to the last century where things got a bit stagnated, shipbuilding nowadays is an industry in constant change.
#officer It is only now we begin to understand Titanic's true scope - 882ft long and 92ft wide!
#crew I can't believe the length of A Deck, the Promenade Deck - 546ft from one end to the other. Incredible.
#crew A Deck also has the perfect areas for our more refined passenger to relax, the staterooms facing forward and the public rooms.
#officer What a marvellous gymnasium we have on board, hopefully someone will make use of it but it seems like more of a gimmick...
#officer With 2 rowing machines, weightlifting machine, back massager and a punch ball, the gymnasium is very well equipped.
#crew Just checking all 48 solid white lifebuoys; these are to be placed at various locations about the weather deck.
#crew Next on the list is the lifeboats, 20 overall. 14 of them are the 30-footers, which should carry 65 people.
#crew The capacity of the lifeboats is somewhat of a concern, only 1,178. If anything were to happen there won't be enough space...
#engineering Just checked the ventilation systems. They consist of overhead supply trunks with branches going into various blocks of rooms.
#crew All flags packed and organised for display. The White Star Line flags, Blue Ensigns, Pilot Jacks and Royal Mail Pennants.
#crew The extent of Titanic's rigging is staggering, lots more still to be done before launch
#engineering The compasses on board Titanic will be subjected to error, variation and deviation from the magnetic North Pole.
#photographer Just taken a picture of the public walking the deck, I am sure they will want some lasting memories http://t.co/NAhjlt1S
#engineering The North Pole can be a nuisance for navigators. It can attract the north point of the compass away from true north.
#engineering The famous Lord Kelvin developed a binnacle that compensated for the magnetism of the hull and the superstructure of the ship.
#captain Sea trials commence in just 18 days, that day simply cannot come soon enough
#crew Located on the navigating bridge and the docking bridge are a series of telegraphs for passenger use.
#engineering The turbine engine will be a powerful beast; it should develop 16,000 shaft horsepower when running at 165rpm.
#engineering Of course it will only be operational when moving forward and when the reciprocating engines are running over 50rpm.
#engineering The anchors of these vessels are a sight to behold. When Olympic was launched, she had the largest in the world!
#engineering Interestingly, this huge anchor has the name of the Hingley Company printed on the shank and not the White Star Line.
#photographer Here's a picture of Titanic's anchor that I took outside the Lloyd's Proving House last year. http://t.co/IV6b6cOx
#engineering You should have seen how the anchor was transported. It's so big it took TWENTY shire horses to pull it.
#crew Looking over E-Deck. This is where second-class passengers shall disembark when we arrive in New York.
#engineering Titanic is fitted with four main compasses. They're lighted with electric and oil lamps.
#engineering The docking bridge compass is fitted with a lighted card. It was installed by the firm C.J Smith of Southampton.
#engineering So many UK companies have been involved in Titanic's construction. The White Star Line really has done the country justice!
#crew We keep a large quantity of green pyrotechnic lights for use as company signals on board, should the need arise.
#crew In the case of emergency Titanic keeps suitable lifeboats. I've tried out the 25ft emergency cutter myself
#crew I can attest to the safety and suitability of the lifeboats. The lifebelts however...
#officer I understand some of the crew are worried about lifebelts. No need, they will float for 24hrs with 15lb of iron suspended from them
#crew I just feel that given the icy waters we'll be sailing in, lifebelts are somewhat redundant!
#crew Jumping into those waters even in a lifebelt will still result in death. Still, it won't happen...
#crew Generally speaking, we do have a good number of lifebelts. In warmer waters, they will serve their purpose.
#firstclass I hope we have sufficient heating in our quarters, it is sure to be cold as we travel across the icy Atlantic waters.
#captain Titanic is getting a lot of media attention, we must ensure that she is seen in the best possible light.
#captain I welcomed all our newly signed junior officers aboard Titanic this morning - what an opportunity for them all.
#crew The first of a 3-day inspection by the British Board of Trade. Everyone is confident Titanic will be cleared to sail on schedule.
#captain Today marks the originally scheduled launch date of the ship - sea trials still to go but confident of launch on the 10th of April.
#captain Here's a cherished photo of me and my favourite sailing companion. http://t.co/a7iZFxTY
#engineering All the heating equipment has finally been fitted, a selection of Bastia heaters, dowsing heaters and fireplaces.
#officer The passengers are going to love the Boat Deck. Plenty of space open for promenading and leisure.
#engineering Titanic is fitted with numerous watertight doors - very similar to those of the Adriatic.
#crew The galley and pantries on D-Deck are perfectly situated between the first and second class dining saloons.
#crew At 160ft in length and 92ft wide, the galley will have ample room to serve our passengers. They will recieve only the finest food.
#crew Where did I put those 12 distress signal rockets? We need those to adhere to Board of Trade guidelines...
#photographer I've just had a look at the first-class suites. Truly those passengers will travel in comfort! http://t.co/mtBTk22G
#firstclass With my ticket came a booklet detailing the voyage, the facilities and various diversions on board, I feel very well informed.
#officer The painters have done a fantastic job in and out of the ship; a lot of surface area to be repainted at some point!
#officer Good to see the first 2 compasses in place, 1 in the wheelhouse and 1 on the navigation bridge.
#crew The kitchen is fitted out with so much equipment, from hot plates and bain-maries to pressure filters and coffee boilers!
#firstclass I simply cannot wait to try the food, all the reports suggests it will be delicious. I hope I am not disappointed.
#crew We really do have fantastic tableware thanks to Goldsmiths & Silversmiths. Over 21,000 pieces of cutlery, napkin rings and small wares
#crew The two 'millionaires' suites are nearly complete - a very similar size to those that were on Olympic's B Deck.
#crew These suites are a home from home in of itself. A private bathroom, wardrobe room, sitting room, two bedrooms and a private promenade!
#firstclass I hope the 'millionaire's' suite is worth it - PS870 for the single crossing so I expect only the best
#officer The a la carte restaurant is the epitome of refinement. The settees and chairs are upholstered in the finest silk.
#officer The embroideries and richly carved cornices also make for pleasant surroundings. I am sure the band will do it justice
#officer The first class service at dinner will use only the finest bone china, some with edge designs in 22-carat gold!
#officer Stuart of Stourbridge has also done a marvellous job on the glassware - some of the finest I have ever seen
#officer Titanic's first class dining saloon can seat 554 people at a time. We will ensure 1 server is assigned to every 3 people.
#crew I am sure the first class passengers will enjoy the Turkish baths, a marvellous achievement to even have them on the ship!
#crew Accessible directly from the forward first class staircase, use of the baths will incur a cost - $1 from the Enquiry Office.
#officer Just checking we have all our Morse Signal Lamps, we need to ensure we meet all Board of Trade requirements.
#officer The lamps are essential to allow us to signal other vessels at night; you never know when we might need assistance.
#crew A new master was signed on today, Captain Herbert James Haddock.
#officer The Grand Staircase is a magnificent example of woodwork and crafting.
#officer Still so much to do and not much time to do it. A lot of excitement surrounding the next week.
#crew The upholsterers' shop have done a fine job, it takes considerable skill to roll out so much exquisite furniture
#crew The same can be said for the cabinet-makers, the scale of their operation is enormous!
#firstclass I have been telling all my friends about it, they are so jealous! In a little over 10 days we will be on board Titanic!
#captain It only seems like yesterday that she was under construction in the dry dock...
#reporter Excitement and anticipation is building in Belfast. Titanic towers over all in the dock.
#firstclass I hope there is plenty of space up on the promenade deck, my friends and I do like a good game of shuffleboard.
#reporter Sea trials in two days for Titanic, will she live up to all expectations?
#captain Sea trials scheduled tomorrow. We must ensure that all her systems worked as they are supposed to.
#crew Sea trials tomorrow but most of the interior isn't even complete yet! Let's hope the boys in Southampton work fast!
#engineer Titanic has two ice-making machines located on G Deck. We want the passengers to have every luxury whilst they drink and dine.
#engineer Refrigeration units are of the C02 type utilising the gas in its compressed form. Hopefully the poultry should keep!
#engineering A nervous but exciting morning for us. In 30 minutes the ship will leave dock for sea trials - let's hope for a clear day
#crew We have just been given the orders - sea trials to commence immediately. Next stop - Southampton.
#photographer I snapped this as she left Belfast on her trials. I'm already itching to rejoin her at Southampton! http://t.co/HY9cmWb8
#engineering A well done all round for engineering - a speed of 23 and a quarter knots achieved for a short period. The captain is pleased.
#captain Conditions were absolutely ideal - 23 and a quarter knots! I have congratulated all those in engineering.
#crew Returned to Belfast after what has seemed like a successful day of sea trials. I hope the Board signs off on her worthiness...
#officer Good news, the Board of Certification has signed off on her seaworthiness. There was never any doubt!
#crew Glad to hear that the Board signed off. Now we can focus on fitting her out with all the finest luxuries.
#crew Many decks to be cleared and checked before launch, lots of work to do before the captain is happy.
#crew Today the Pilot Jack is flying majestically at the jackstaff and the Blue Ensign is at the foremast!
#crew We have arrived safely in Southampton and everyone is delighted with the success of the journey - the ship truly is magnificent.
#Southampton Amazing to see Titanic in port. A lot of people have gone down to see her arrival.
#captain Been issued our Passenger Certificate for a foreign-going steam ship today. We need to ensure all these guidelines are adhered to.
#captain Still a lot of interior fitting to be done. The B-Deck suites, a la carte restaurant and the Cafe Parisien all need improvements.
#crew Now we begin the long process of loading provisions - 40 tonnes of potatoes, 75,000lb of meat, endless cutlery and much more.
#engineering We are confident we have the most comprehensive watertight subdivision ever built.
#photographer You can find advertisements for Titanic everywhere- this is one I found with some soap http://t.co/tc6t8tcV
#engineering Titanic has a cellular double bottom and is divided into 16 watertight compartments. Nothing will break through this.
#engineering All these watertight bulkheads are labelled A through H and J through O. Why miss out I?
#engineering Many have called her a 'two compartment vessel'. She will stay afloat with any two adjacent compartments open to the sea.
#Reporter- Cranes are loading her with cargo, all 11,524 items weighing 559 tonnes, valued collectively at around PS84,000.
#firstclass All the newspapers and magazines are raving about the luxurious nature of our special stateroom. I can't wait!
#engineering She really is an immense vessel. A gross tonnage of over 46,000 tonnes!
#engineering We should be able to make good speed. The indicated horse power of the reciprocating engines is 30,000 IHP.
#reporter Twenty couples are reported to be choosing the crossing to celebrate their marriage on the ship of dreams.
#crew A large platform has been constructed on the harbour for officially invited guests to witness the launch. It will be well worthwhile.
#reporter Amongst the cargo are golf balls, Renault motor cars, and the only copy in existence of director Max Reinhardt's the Mirical
#reporter Most valuable item stowed aboard is the Persian tome Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, bejewelled with 1,500 gemstones.
#engineering An astonishing 5,892 tons of coal has been loaded on board - it's going to be needed for these powerful engines.
#officer Only a day away from launch and the Grand Staircase clock still isn't here. The mirror filling the gap might have to suffice...
#captain Today marks Good Friday, and the first time Titanic's flags fly from the mast and rigging. I feel a true sense of pride in her.
#officer The Grand Staircase clock has arrived, and it is truly magnificent. Its ornate design will add such an elegance to the hall.
#crew Mustered on the Boat Deck this morning for a Board of Trade inspection. I hope they were impressed with our efficiency.
#crew Just completed our first and only boat drill for the inspection, two boats were manned and lowered on the starboard side.
#thirdclass We've been told we must board the ship hours before launch, apparently it is because there are so many of us.
#firstclass Masses of excitement as we begin to board Titanic, I have never seen engineering this magnificent.
#captain Boat drill complete with military precision, and for the first time at that. Merely a formality given the ship's integrity.
#crew Trying to get the passengers to move quickly is proving a challenge. Can't blame them though, so much to take in.
#passenger Just look at all these people in the docks, all here to see our departure. I think I can see Mother but it's hard to tell!
#Southampton I have never been so envious! Standing here watching all those people enter the ship. I wager she is magnificent inside!
#firstclass Our quarters are truly stunning. New York will have a hard task to beat this level of luxury.
#secondclass Just embarked with an hour to go into an enclosed deck; a steward guided us to our room
#thirdclass Even this far down in the ship we are still well treated, the rooms have everything we could need.
#thirdclass Once on board we were directed to our quarters very rapidly, our tickets are numbered.
#captain Boarding seems to be going smoothly. I have checked with engineering who are ready for the order to depart.
#firstclass Escorted aboard by a company representative, greeted at the head of the gangway by an officer in full dress.
#firstclass Almost faint at the idea of being presented by name to the captain as soon as we are on board!
#officer The last few are boarding now and the launch is getting ever closer. The noise from all this excitement is deafening!
#reporter News through that J.P. Morgan has cancelled his place on the ship and decided not to sail.
#thirdclass Just been told that as soon as first class are aboard the signal for friends and family to go ashore is going to sound.
#passenger Everything is in such pristine condition, I cannot wait to explore and find out what wonders she is hiding.
#crew Readying ourselves for launch in 30 minutes, the excitement of the rest of the crew and the passengers is contagious...
#officer Final checks are being made. I will report to the captain when complete and give the all clear to leave port.
#firstclass The doors have been sealed and all the crew appear to be at their stations - it can't be long now.
#photographer The last of the mooring lines are being released! http://t.co/uL40xiwe
#captain All checks have been completed and we are ready to go. Next stop - Cherbourg.
#reporter Watching Titanic depart Ocean Dock berth 44 is truly a sight to behold, a magnificent moment for British shipbuilding.
#Southampton Away she goes! What a sight!
#passenger The sea of people is just immense. I wonder how many will welcome us to New York?
#firstclass There is so much to take in, the magnificent clock, the woodwork surrounding the staircase. No expense has been spared!
#officer The steamer New York is taking a strange course but I am sure she will adjust as we make our way out of dock.
#captain Good God that was a close call. I think it was the steamship New York nearly colliding with us. This will cause delays...
#passenger I hope that isn't an omen of things to come, a near collision before we even hit open sea!
#officer Looks as if we will miss the 17:30 arrival time in Cherbourg now, but no harm done. We will have to ensure a quick turnaround.
#thirdclass A good opportunity to explore our surroundings before we take on more passengers in Cherbourg.
#firstclass Such a privilege to be on her maiden voyage, I feel it will be a memorable experience
#captain No issues to report thus far, she is running smoothly and as expected. A good job all round.
#photographer Here's a picture of the radio room I was permitted to take shortly after we set sail earlier http://t.co/F6epP8dT
#officer The captain seems pleased and undeterred after the incident with New York. We plough on regardless - 3 hours to Cherbourg.
#thirdclass I've been advised not to venture outside of the areas designated to our class, under no circumstances am I to go to first.
#thirdclass A good chance to get to know those who we are sharing our quarters with - they seem a nice crowd.
#firstclass A spot of tea is called for. The only problem is deciding where to have it, there are so many choices!
#passenger Enjoying a drink with friends on deck. The weather is being kind to us on this first leg, I hope our luck continues.
#officer We will soon be arriving in Cherbourg. Hopefully we will be able to board the remaining passengers and leave before sunset.
#captain Cherbourg now in sight, we will attempt to make a quick turnaround to make up for time lost.
#Cherbourg Look at her approach, she is a sight to behold. I cannot wait to board!
#passenger Looking down at those waiting to board you can feel their anticipation build!
#crew Due to the near mishap as we left we have arrived in Cherbourg an hour later than planned - just before sunset.
#officer A 66-nautical-mile trip at about 20.2 knots - a very pleasing start.
#crew The passengers are understandably keen to board, Titanic's magnificence is plain for all to see.
#crew Boarding is going quicker than expected, although we are getting some very useful help to get us back on time.
#captain Thanks to the help of the WSL steam tenders Nomadic and Traffic we have departed for our overnight trip to Queenstown on time.
#firstclass Titanic is not unlike four separate towns in one, with the fourth attending entirely to the needs of the other three.
#crew Only one more stop then we set across the Atlantic for New York. I wonder who will be waiting to greet us there.
#firstclass The new arrivals from Cherbourg are clearly as overwhelmed as us with Titanic's size.
#captain I look forward to getting this final stop out of the way so we can begin the real journey.
#engineering Still tempering the engines but we'll soon be able to put her to the test. The vast open stretches of the Atlantic are to come.
#firstclass Today has been enthralling but exhausting. Time to rest and make use of our luxurious quarters.
#thirdclass No rest for any of us tonight! Time to celebrate Titanic's maiden voyage!
#officer The captain has retired to his quarters. He has left the ship in the capable hands of the night watch.
#officer The clocks have been set back 25 minutes from GMT to Dublin Mean Time, hopefully we haven't missed any out.
#crew Everything is clear and no problems to report - let's hope every night is as incident free as this one.
#officer Night watch shift changeovers have been running like clockwork. Nice to see such a dedicated crew.
#passenger Barely slept last night. The beds were comfortable but the excitement is just too much!
#officer Project arrival time at Queenstown is 11:30 - the captain will be pleased to hear we are making good time.
#captain Good news. Conditions have been kind to us overnight, we will make Queenstown harbour on schedule.
#firstclass First morning of waking up aboard Titanic. I wonder what I will discover and who I will meet today?
#thirdclass I think I can make out our final stop in the distance. It won't be long until we make haste across the North Atlantic!
#Queenstown There she is! Approaching in the distance! She looks truly magnificent in the morning sunlight.
#crew Now anchored 2 miles off Roche's Point outside Queenstown harbour, more passengers and mail being taken on.
#Queenstown Here she is entering the harbour! You can see the door on the hull open on the E Deck. http://t.co/CuaqLRQA
#captain More thanks to the WSL steam tenders Ireland and America - we should weigh our starboard anchor in around 2 hours.
#officer Another seemingly smooth transition as we pick up our final passengers. The look of wonderment is plain to see.
#crew Passengers and mail all on board, we will soon start our preparations before we set off on the final leg...
#officer The captain has ordered to turn a quarter circle and to head for Daunt's Rock light vessel to drop off the pilot.
#officer Looking at the passengers walking the deck fills me with pride. They are clearly as enthralled as the rest of us.
#engineering Daunt's Rock in another 2 miles and then we undertake her maiden transatlantic crossing. Can't wait to see what she can do!
#crew Just dropping off the pilot at Daunt's Rock, then the journey across the Atlantic begins. So much anticipation...
#captain All Ahead Full! Let's see what she is capable of.
#officer The captain has given the order and we are underway. We can be thankful we have Captain Smith leading us.
#engineering She has worked up to 70rpm on reciprocating engines with 20 out of 24 double-ended boilers connected up.
#officer 20.7 knots through the water - she is cutting through the waves like a knife!
#firstclass It feels as if we are floating over the water. Such a smooth sailing vessel - we truly are blessed to be part of this voyage.
#captain Course altered about 3 miles off the Old Head of Kinsale, now headed true for Fastnet Light. No issues thus far.
#passenger Standing at the front of the ship all I can see ahead is a horizon of water. I look forward to seeing New York.
#firstclass Dressed in our finest evening wear we are making our way to the dining hall. We expect a spectacular menu.
#engineering Incredibly pleased with her operation and everyone down here is doing a sterling job.
#engineering Proving to be very hot and dirty work though - I look forward to being relieved by the next shift.
#firstclass We are being treated to a truly marvellous meal with excellent company. I hope all our meals are this enjoyable.
#thirdclass I don't expect we are having quite as refined a meal as first class, but it suits our needs down to the ground!
#captain Time to retire after an enjoyable meal among our more discerning passengers. Many things to do tomorrow however.
#crew All quiet now as people begin to settle down for the night, I can't speak for the lower decks though...
#thirdclass Even this far below deck the living quarters are still marvellous - I hope to be enjoying a drink through to the early hours!
#officer Clocks keeping bridge time now set back to 11.3p.m. This has extended the third watch by 29 minutes.
#officer Night watch now in place - nothing to report. A good chance to reflect on a momentous day.
#crew Clocks have once again been set back on the bridge, now to 3.30a.m. My watch has been extended by 30 minutes.
#engineering Hot and gruelling work down here, hopefully we will be able to light another boiler soon and test her true speed.
#officer Order given to light an additional boiler in room No.2, I hope to break 21 knots.
#captain Ship now running at 72rpm on the reciprocating engines, now making 21.2 knots through the water.
#firstclass Woken up to yet another marvellous morning. The weather truly has been kind to us thus far.
#firstclass First things first, breakfast at the Cafe Parisien!
#passenger There is definitely more of a chill in the air today, but that is to be expected given the cooler waters we are approaching.
#officer The first full day's run has been posted at 484 miles which works out at an average speed of 20.98 knots. Quite an achievement.
#captain Currently proceeding without incident on the Great Circle route, running at 72-3rpm on her reciprocating engines.
#firstclass I can honestly say I haven't noticed any discernible problems. Titanic is a marvel of modern engineering.
#passenger The crew have been incredibly attentive throughout the trip, I feel truly blessed to be part of this historic voyage.
#officer Received a wireless message from La Touraine warning us of a thick ice-field, shouldn't be a problem according to the captain.
#officer The Paris has also spotted another ice-field and two potential icebergs on course and asked for our position.
#captain I have thanked the La Touraine and informed them of our fine weather. No need to be concerned at this moment.
#engineering An additional boiler has been connected up in boiler room number 2. 21 double-ended boilers now online.
#officer Clocks on the bridge set back to 23:36. The first watch has been extended by 24 minutes.
#officer More clock changes on the bridge as the length of the middle watch is extended by 25 minutes. All clocks on board back in sync.
#firstclass We can't be nearly 3 days into the voyage! Time is passing far too quickly for my liking.
#captain Second day's run completed and posted at 519 miles. Our average speed was 20.91 knots.
#officer A deal of disappointment regarding our progress on this second day, we were hoping for a higher average speed.
#engineering Disappointing distance figures which we need to rectify. Now running at 75rpm to help increase our average speed.
#officer Now up to 22.2 knots through the water, this should help us make up some lost time!
#firstclass Just sitting down for a spot of lunch and who should walk in but Bruce Ismay and Captain Smith himself!
#firstclass I imagine they are discussing many important things; I even overheard them say we would beat Olympic and reach NY by Tuesday!
#captain Delightful lunch with Bruce Ismay. The first class reception room is an elegant way to enjoy a drink.
#crew The wireless transmitter has shorted and needs mending; I have been called out of bed to make repairs.
#crew Transmitter is going to take some time to fix, so much for a restful night's sleep...
#officer Clocks on the bridge set back to 23:37. The first watch has been extended by 23 minutes.
#crew The start of the 8 bells signifying the change of watch. I hope my replacement comes soon I could do with a solid night's sleep.
#crew 4 bells ring as I replace my crewmate in the lookout tower.
#officer All messages will now be logged in NY mean time in accordance with Marconi Company Practice, but the transmitter is still broken.
#crew 7 bells now ring - I am glad they continue to do so or I might nod off up here...
#officer Wheelhouse clock now set back to 3:38, thus increasing the length of the middle watch by 22 minutes.
#crew 8 bells ring out as morning watch begins, nothing to report as we switch stations with our crewmates.
#crew We have finally completed the repair of the wireless transmitter - 6 hours of solid work and a job well done.
#officer Ordered the ballast and fresh water tanks sounded in accordance with IMM rules. Need to ensure we run a tight operation.
#crew The 7th bell signifies the forenoon watch will be beginning soon, they will be taking breakfast in preparation.
#engineering Finally the order is given to light the 3 remaining double-ended boilers - now we will get a true measure of her speed.
#firstclass A glorious morning to enjoy another fantastic breakfast, full compliments to the chef.
#captain Message received from Caronia regarding possible bergs, growlers and field ice. Nothing to be concerned about.
#firstclass A very enjoyable breakfast period has come to an end. The decor is exquisite and waiters most attentive.
#captain I have thanked the 'Caronia' for the information and informed them of the variable weather we have had.
#firstclass Delighted that the captain will be conducting the Divine Service this morning in the first class saloon.
#captain Received a message from SS Noordam, they report some moderate westerly winds and general fair weather ahead.
#officer The third day's run totals at 546 miles at an average of 22.06 knots. Revolutions held steady at 75-76 on reciprocating engines
#engineering A much better average speed over the last 24 hours. I still feel there is much more to be squeezed out yet
#officer Course altered to avoid reported ice on our current path - simply a precaution at this stage.
#captain I have messaged the SS Noordam back thanking them for the ice report. Given the ship's integrity I am not particularly concerned.
#thirdclass I just caught a glimpse of the first class lunch being prepared - a far cry from what we have!
#crew Looks like a delicious luncheon for the first class passengers, the Titanic truly is a ship of luxury.
#officer Message received from Amerika - it passed two large icebergs that may run close to our course. We need to keep a watchful eye.
#captain More ice reports from other ships, the number and frequency is really starting to add up.
#captain Yet another report - this time from Athenai about passing icebergs and large quantities of field ice.
#captain We have received an uplifting message from steam Deutschland wishing us and Titanic all success. I have passed it to Ismay.
#officer All these ice reports need to be taken more seriously - the lookouts have been made aware of the danger
#firstclass Mr Ismay has just shown us a note wishing Titanic a safe voyage from a passing vessel - he seems particularly pleased.
#captain I have the note back from Ismay, apparently he was discussing it with passengers...
#officer Quickly responded to a note from the Baltic, made them aware of our fine weather since leaving and wished them well.
#crew Just chalked up an rpm rate of 77 - this means we will be making about 22.3 knots through the water!
#captain Course correction made in order to head towards the Nantucket Shoals light vessel.
#firstclass Just been shown a worrying note by Mr Ismay, the Baltic has given us an ice warning. However I am sure everything is in hand.
#captain Calfornian ATS has messaged us about 5 large icebergs sighted 5 miles to their south. We should be well out of their path.
#engineering The double-ended boilers lit this morning have finally been put to use - this should help increase our speed.
#firstclass The sea is like a millpond, what a beautifully starlit night.
#firstclass Sitting down to what I am sure will be a lovely dinner with friends. Everyone is dressed spectacularly.
#officer Just exchanged TRs with the Carpathia, one passenger message was also sent across.
#crew The temperature has dropped another 4 degrees since I went for dinner - I can see Lightoller taking a set of star sights.
#officer A final signal exchanged between us and Carpathia- things are beginning to get dark and difficult to see clear ahead now.
#officer Just intercepted a message from the Californian to Antillian - 3 large bergs 5 miles south of them...
#captain Becoming a little bit more concerned about the conditions and visibility - just had a discussion with Lightoller.
#officer The captain has entered his quarters but given me instructions to let him know immediately if conditions become doubtful.
#officer Just rang up to the crow's nest and told them to keep a sharp lookout for ice and growlers - too many reports to risk it.
#officer Another message from the Amerika regarding 2 large icebergs she has passed. Reports are coming in regularly now.
#crew We need to look after the fresh water - it is getting very cold and it may freeze if we are not careful.
#officer Message received from Mesaba reporting further heavy pack ice and large icebergs; weather is clear to spot them however.
#engineering We've made good time in the last 2 hours. 45 nautical miles through water averaging 22.5 knots. No problems at all.
#passenger I've noticed the engines running faster than at any other time during the trip - no doubt they want to beat Olympic's record.
#officer Californian ATS has just informed us she has had to stop due to a field of pack ice - I've informed the lookouts.
#officer More messages from Californian - they are still at full stop. Titanic would have no problem cutting through.
#passenger I was just climbing into my top berth to read when I noticed the ship vibrating much more than usual. Is this normal?
#firstclass The lights in the lounges have been extinguished and have been moved from the reading & writing room on A Deck. Time to turn in.
#crew Keeping a sharp lookout but no icebergs at all on our current route. Visibility is becoming more of an issue however...
#engineering Boiler room telegraph bell ringing, red light on the illuminated telegraph - FULL STOP!
#officer The ship's head is swinging over to port as the tiller is now hard over to starboard - surely not....
#officer 3 gongs coming from the lookout and a report on the telephone - Iceberg Right Ahead. Hard-a-starboard!!
#engineering Water pouring in 2ft above stokehold plates in boiler room 6 and in the empty starboard side forward bunker of boiler room 5!
#engineering Coal is falling around everyone's feet along with the water - I have no idea how to save us...
#quartermaster Entering the bridge to see a flurry of activity - the peak of an iceberg has just passed the bridge!
#captain COLLISION WITH ICEBERG Just been woken by a tremendous crashing sound, what is going on out there?
#captain Just entered the bridge to see chaos. Mr Murdoch - what have we struck?
#officer Captain has ordered us to close the WTDs - already closed. The ship is swinging hard to starboard!
#engineering A terrible hissing sound coming from the forepeak tank - must be the air escaping. Engines now in full reverse!
#crew The ship's engines have stopped - I need to investigate. What on earth was that?
#engineering Are the ship's engines moving again? I can't understand why that would be, we need to stop!
#officer Was that a 'half speed ahead' sign from the captain? I must have mis-understood amidst all this chaos...
#engineering The forepeak tank is filling quickly; air is coming out and water coming in!
#passenger Everyone is up and talking about what they heard. I am more worried about the enormous jolt, ice perhaps?
#officer The ship is still moving around 4-6 knots through the water - it will take a while to stop this immense vessel.
#crew The iceberg off the starboard quarter is disappearing into the night - we are still moving but not by much. Ice all over the well deck
#firstclass What on earth was that?? It felt like the very earth was moving!
#captain Ismay has come up on deck on and is asking what happened - all we know is that we struck an iceberg. Damage yet unknown.
#captain Engines now set to full stop - we are clear from the iceberg. It has disappeared off the starboard quarter.
#carpathia Sending out our final communication with Titanic - apparently some mishap has taken place but I assume it isn't serious.
#officer All men have been ordered to return to stations - we need to assess the damage sustained.
#crew An officer has come out of his quarters and quickly decides the collision was nothing serious, has he not heard up from engineering?
#crew Just reported to the captain that holds 1,2 and 3 are flooding quickly - he has gone below deck to meet up with an officer.
#firstclass Everyone is rushing up on deck to see what the problem is...it is just me or are we tilting?
#engineering The floods are now 8ft over the stokehold plates in boiler room 6. Someone just said they are at 7ft in hold 1 to. Good God....
#crew Water coming in from starboard side as I look down from G Deck - someone needs to tell engineering.
#engineering All the lights have suddenly gone off in the stokeholds - we need lamps for boiler room 5 quickly!
#captain Heading down the working staircase onto E Deck and the engine room, I need to see this damage for myself.
#crew Lights are out all through engineering, we have been tasked to get some lamps to the stokeholds immediately.
#captain I have returned to deck and given the order to the boatswain, all lifeboats need to be ready for lowering immediately!
#fireman I was woken with a shout from someone and had to wade through water to get to the staircase. What on earth has happened?
#bandmaster Come along chaps, get your stuff together, the captain has requested our presence in the first class lounge.
#bandmaster No questions, I have received an order to play, and play we will.
#passenger Why are the lifeboats being readied? This ship is unsinkable, this cannot be happening!
#captain The boatswain has given the order 'All hands up and about the boats', we need to muster the list for loading the passengers...
#officer Clocks did not need to go back this time due to the accident - more pressing issues at hand!
#engineering The lights have come back on in the stokeholds thank God. Boiler room 5 gauges are low, we need to get men to draw fires!
#officer Water is only 2ft of F Deck, although it seems to have slowed down. Nevertheless it is still rising and we have to abandon ship.
#officer Now inspecting the line of boats being readied on the port side, the men are working as fast as they can!
#crew The chunks of ice in the well deck are enormous! Someone needs to investigate the damage under the forecastle head as well.
#captain How can holds 1, 2 & 3 be gone already? This ship is supposed to be unsinkable and those holds watertight!
#thirdclass Water is beginning to build up, this is not looking good! Where is my wife God damn it?
#passenger All this water...it is only within a few feet of reaching the E Deck staircase. How can this be?
#bandmaster Just going down to give them a tune, cheer them up a bit.
#officer The captain has returned to give the order. All lifeboats to be swung out and passengers brought on deck with lifebelts on.
#crew How can this be happening? This ship is unsinkable!
#officer 13 men have been ordered up to place 4 loaves of bread in each lifeboat, who knows how long it will be until we are found?
#firstclass The band has started to play in the lounge, at this late hour!
#captain I have told the two Marconi operators that they may need to send a CQD - but not to do so until I give the order.
#passenger Everyone is being ordered up immediately for boarding onto the lifeboats. They will never take all the passengers on board!
#ThomasAndrews I cannot believe this. The ship cannot be saved, she only has 1 to 1.5 hours at most before she goes under...
#bandmaster Gentlemen, let us move up to the foyer, I believe that is where we are needed most.
#firstclass This is tiresome, but I suppose one has to show willing. Come along darling, out on deck, as they say.
#captain The decision has been made; boats are to be loaded with women and children first. No man is an exception to this rule!
#crew Captain has told us to signal for assistance and report our current position, please God let someone hear this....
#captain 1 and a half hours is nowhere near long enough, how can we save everyone?
#officer First CQD transmitted with distress coordinates sent - we wait to see who responds...
#crew I can't make it out but I may have seen a light off Titanic's port bow. I hope to goodness I have, we may then have a chance.
#Ypiranga We have received a distress call from Titanic, she requires immediate assistance!
#Caronia Distress call received from the Titanic. Why would she require assistance? She is unsinkable.
#Carpathia Titanic has sent a distress signal, they have struck an iceberg and require immediate assistance!
#crew The first lifeboat has been launched, No. 7, starboard side forward. We have a crew member on board and in charge.
#bandmaster We are needed on deck, fetch your lifejacket and report back to the port-forward first class entrance.
#first class I don't see why I should get on that lifeboat, it is much safer on the ship surely.
#firstclass I say, watch it! A fellow with a cello just pushed passed in a real hurry.
#officer Captain Smith will not leave deck - he insists on overseeing the loading and lowering of the boats.
#captain Both the Mount Temple and Frankfurt have heard our calls. I have instructed the crew to find out Frankfurt's position.
#crew Boat No. 5 is launched but it is chaos on deck. Everyone is pushing and shoving to get their children or themselves on a boat.
#firstclass On to the lifeboat my dear, don't worry there will be one for me later. Come along now, don't get upset.
#firstclass My darling, the band are still playing, there is plenty of time for me to get on another lifeboat.
#officer There is water flowing down the stairs from E Deck to F Deck, there can be no saving her...
#bandmaster Land of Hope and Glory next I think.
#steward The water on E Deck is up to the second funnel casing by the main first class stairway port and starboard sides. It's unstoppable.
#firstclass No sir, I will not put on a lifejacket, we are dressed in our best and prepared to go down like gentlemen!
#Olympic I think we intercepted Titanic's communications, it says they have struck an iceberg and are sinking. That can't be right...
#Carpathia We have called Titanic to confirm both positions - we must come to their aid.
#Olympic We are trying to contact Titanic to confirm - we need to know their position and get there quickly if reports are true.
#crew Boat No. 3 has now been launched with chaos still overwhelming on deck. The panic is becoming more apparent.
#officer Boat No. 8 launched on the port side forward. There is no way we will be able to fit all these people on the boats...
#Ypiranga We hear Titanic's SOS-CQD and her position. We are on our way to assist.
#Olympic We can now clearly hear their distress call but we need a position, currently trying to answer but with no response.
#crew Boat No. 1 now safely launched. Things are starting to get very heated amongst passengers; it is only a matter of time...
#engineering We have finally received some portable suction pipes, but I feel it is too little too late. Four brave men are in boiler room 4
#thirdclass Did you see that? That woman just fell from right up there! They saved her though, pulled her back in on deck.
#quartermaster Boat No. 6 has been launched, and I am in charge of it. I feel relief but also pity for those who will not be as lucky...
#Olympic Finally a message from Titanic, they have struck an iceberg and require assistance. Our position is 505 miles away...
#officer This is not looking good, the water level is up to the second row of ports just under Titanic's name at the bow...
#crew Boat No. 16 has launched with the Master-at-Arms in charge. The ship is starting to pitch violently and water levels are rising.
#engineering All that could have been done has been done...
#officer We are going down fast at the head, the captain's predictions may not turn out to be accurate. God help us all.
#crew Another boat launched, No. 14. Numbers 13 and 15 are also preparing to be lowered with people scrambling to get aboard...
#captain All the boats are being lowered but there simply aren't enough. No one planned for this circumstance...
#officer Major panic is beginning to set in and guns being pulled out by officers to control the crowds. Women and children first!
#thirdclass Why won't they let my wife and son on board a lifeboat? They have as much right as those in first class!
#crew Boat No. 14 overwhelmed by a sudden rush of gentlemen trying to board the lifeboat. A warning gunshot has been fired!
#officer The ship is now listing noticeably to port - lifeboat 10 has only a 2.5ft gap between the side of the rail on the Boat Deck!
#engineering The engine room is now beyond saving, it is severely flooded with more water coming in by the minute. We need to save ourselves
#Olympic We are lighting up all possible boilers to make haste to Titanic's location, please say we will make it there in time...
#officer Women and children in boats cannot last much longer. What else can be done?
#captain I have told all those in the wireless cabin to leave and look out for themselves. There is nothing more they can do.
#crew Collapsible boat C has been launched with the quartermaster in charge. I fear I will never be able to leave this ship...
#crew Good God, people are jumping from the ship into the sea. They will all perish in the ice cold water...
#quartermaster Fortunate enough to be on boat C as boat D is also launched. The well deck is completely submerged. I hope they got out...
#bandmaster Gentlemen, the end I fear is fast approaching, what to play next... Nearer My God To Thee I think.
#captain I retire to the bridge. She cannot be saved, but I will go down with my ship. I have told the crew - Be British.
#crew Did you hear that? An enormous crash as if the iron is parting from the ship. I must get on deck as soon as possible!
#officer The ship took an enormous dive then, something must have buckled. The water is now up to the crow's nest and into the forebridge.
#BoatNo1 All the lights have now dimmed, pure darkness. Only screams can be heard...
#BoatNo1 She has split in two abaft the expansion plate! The stern has righted itself but the bow is lost, sinking quickly...
#BoatNo1 Good God, the stern came well out of the water then and the ship is pitching - Look at those poor people...
#crew Here we go...the ship took a huge plunge and righted herself again. Everyone is panicking, what do I do??
#BoatNo1 The stern has pitched straight up, dear Lord it sounds like thunder! All the boats are quiet, and all we can see are people falling
#BoatNo1 She is gone...The unsinkable ship....Lost in the depths....All around check their watches 2.20a.m. - exactly.
#officer No one knows what to say or do. Some sit quietly, others weep, some are inconsolable. I can barely believe it...
#officer Turn back, turn back, we must search for survivors!
#firstclass Those poor souls floating in the ice cold water, I want to pull them into the boat but others resist. Why?
#firstclass The ocean is awash with screaming people and bodies - it is an unimaginable sight.
#officer Burning green pyrotechnic lights in my lifeboat. My hands are so cold I can barely hold the flame. Someone must see us...
#Caronia We have picked up a message from a ship saying they are firing rockets. No communication as to who however.
#Carpathia Calling Titanic with zero response, we can only hope their wireless is damaged and nothing worse has happened.
#Carpathia Unless my eyes deceive me, I can spot a single green light floating in the distance. It's dim, but definitely there...
#Officer Success! I think we have been spotted!
#Carpathia We have reached Titanic's location but the ship is gone. How could this have happened?
#Carpathia This is a terrible scene - bodies litter the ocean surface, others cling to drift while those on lifeboats call for help.
#Carpathia We begin the process of bringing the lifeboats on board. Those in the life rafts are alive, but only just. It is bitterly cold.
#firstclass Thank God! We are saved at last; it seemed like an eternity...
#Carpathia The second boat is now on board. The true gravity of what has happened hasn't hit home yet, but give them time...
#Carpathia Message received from the ship Birma, now only 30 miles off our position.
#Carpathia More boats continue to be brought on board, although some are now being set adrift due to space restrictions.
#Carpathia Twenty boats have now been rescued and passengers on board, we are tending to them as best we can...
#crew Those who could have been saved have been saved - the rest haven't survived the bitter cold water.
#Carpathia We await the arrival of the other vessels but it is just too late. No one could have survived the ice cold water for this long
#Carpathia The captain has not been found. The officers say the last they saw of him was entering the bridge shortly before she went under.
#Carpathia We have set course for New York with the lost liner's survivors - we estimate around 700.
#officer They say there are around 700 of us - that adds up to around 1,500 lives lost.....
