April 14, 1912 - 11:39 pm

Frederick Fleet spots an iceberg right in the Titanic's path. He rings the warning bell three times, telephone's the bridge and informs the officer on the other end "Iceberg, right ahead!"

First Officer Murdock orders the engines stopped and set full astern.

Quartermaster Robert Hichens orders the wheel turned hard a'starboard.

Thirty-seven seconds pass.

Titanic strikes the iceberg on her starboard side at 11:40.

I'm the Mom of two. They drive me crazy. I love them dearly. I want one more. I'm not insane, yet. My hubby says I'm a snob with an inferiority complex. There is more to me than being a mother. I just don't remember any of it.
