As soon as the ship approached the iceberg, the guards sounded the alarm. The captain ordered them to turn around but it was too late because the Titanic was running at the speed of 25 miles per hour. When the ship turned, one of its sides collided with an iceberg, deeply damaging the ship.

The captain instructed people to get into the lifeboats and sail away. According to reports, the lifeboats helped vacate 1,170 people but in reality, only 705 people got out alive.
