The Sinking
At 11.40pm on April 14th, on a calm and moonless night, RMS Titanic raced into an iceberg at almost full speed (22 knots), creating an intermittent breach 90m (300 feet) long below the waterline.
Two hours and forty minutes later, she sank to the bottom of the Atlantic with the loss of over 1,500 men, women and children.
The heroism and horror of Titanic’s final hours are induced with atmospheric sound and lighting to create a subtle and moving evocation of the ship’s catastrophic and untimely demise.
