Description | The Titanic plunging beneath the waves |
Details |
The last of the Leviathan: the Titanic plunging beneath the waves. Mr Beesley, one of the survivors, described the final scene: 'in the distance the Titanic looked enormous...she slowly tilted straight on end with the stern vertically upwards. As she did so the lights in the cabins and the saloons, which had not flickered for a moment died out, flashed once more, and then went out altogether.'
