What became of the Titanic's boats

What became of the Titanic's boats - and an important question that hangs thereon. The flotilla of boats: who should command it? A vital question for the future. The position of the boats in the illustration is arbitrary but it shows what happened to each lifeboat as far as can be traced from the published evidence. Only one officer appears to have succeeded in converting the unorganised boats which lay around him into a little fleet under one command. As the evidence before the Titanic commission proceeds this question of boat control grows in importance
