Rms Titanic

"There is no danger that Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable and nothing but inconvenience will be suffered by the passengers."

"I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a [large] ship to founder. . . . Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that."

"God himself could not sink this ship."

"The Titanic sank about 2:20 a.m. April 15, 1912, according to the records. I saw it slide down into the ocean to its horrible finish. The moment it sank left a memory of something that haunts me till this day. It was the eerie sound of the people groaning and screaming frantically for help, as they were hurtled into the icy water. Almost all died from the cold water. The sounds lasted for about 45 minutes and then faded away."

"In safety, . . . it was believed, the last word had been uttered in the construction of the ‘Titanic.”’"

"Great God, man! Open the gate and let David klien through!"

"Not damn likely."

"We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go."

"If you will get to hell out of that, I shall be able to do something. Do you want me to lower away quickly? You will have me drown the whole lot of them."

"How did various people leave the ship? Nearly every woman survivor who was asked replied firmly, ‘in the last boat’. Obviously, all these women didn’t go in the same boat, yet to question the point is like questioning a lady’s age– one simply doesn’t do it."

"I asked for ice, but this is ridiculous."
