Passenger Accounts of What Happened
"To my mind the world of today awoke April 15th, 1912."
John B Thayer, First Class Passenger
"After the ship went down we heard cries for a quarter of an hour, or twenty minutes."
R. W. Pusey, Fireman
"There was no room for me (Boat B). I tried to get on, but was pushed off, but I hung around. I got around to the opposite side and cook Maynard, who recognized me, helped me and held on to me."
J. Joughin, Head Baker
"Just at this moment the captain said : "You cannot do any more; save yourselves." Leaving the captain we climbed on top of the house comprising the officers' quarters and our own. Here I saw the last of Mr. Phillips, for he disappeared, walking aft."
Harold Bride, Junior Marconi Operator.
"I was on top of the officers' quarters and there was nothing more to be done. The ship then took a dive, and I turned face forward and also took a dive from on top."
C.H. Lightoller, Second Officer.
" Thomas Andrews spent nearly three years building his own coffin."
Don Lynch, Titanic Historian
"And when you are at the site, you hear people crying out. And you see bodies flowing all around you, and you want to pull them out because they drowned right around you.Yeah, it's eerie. You'll feel it."
Robert Ballard, Found Titanic in 1985
