Overview

The sinking of the Titanic is presented in a highly realistic fashion in this tense British drama. The disaster is portrayed largely from the perspective of the ocean liner's second officer, Charles Lightoller. Despite numerous warnings about ice, the ship sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith keeping it going at a steady clip. When the doomed vessel finally hits an iceberg, the crew and passengers discover that they lack enough lifeboats, and tragedy follows.

00:32:44 We've run aground, I tell you! We've run aground on Newfoundland!

00:36:50 - Do you agree? - Yes. Well?

00:40:31 - All right, Bosun? - Yes, sir.

00:44:49 - Passengers mustn't think I'm scared. - Let them see you wearing it.

00:53:13 Very well, Robert.

00:57:34 Stand by to lower!

01:01:57 You've got to go, madam, so you may as well keep quiet.

01:42:06 Swim clear! Keep clear!

01:48:09 Get away! There's no more room!

01:50:58 That man over there is smoking a cigarette.
