101 Years Ago Today: April 14

On this day, Titanic was steaming ahead.  She had church services in her respective classes and then a lovely afternoon.  At dinner, in 1st class, the Wideners held a party in the A La Carte Restaurant in honor of Captain Smith with the creme of the crop there.  At 11:40 P.M., Fred Fleet spotted the iceberg.  The crew of the Titanic tried to miss the berg, but it was too close.  She hit and damaged more watertight than she could handle.  Titanic from that point on was doomed.
