The RMS Titanic sank in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City
At 11:40 p.m. on 14 April, lookout Frederick Fleet spotted an iceberg immediately ahead of Titanic and alerted the bridge. First Officer William Murdoch ordered the ship to be steered around the obstacle and the engines to be reversed, but it was too late the starboard side of Titanic struck the iceberg, creating a series of holes below the waterline. The hull was not punctured by the iceberg, but rather dented such that the hull's seams buckled and separated, allowing water to seep in. Five of the ship's watertight compartments were breached. It soon became clear that the ship was doomed, as she could not survive more than four compartments being flooded. Titanic began sinking bow-first, with water spilling from compartment to compartment as her angle in the water became steeper. Between 2:10 and 2:15 a.m., a little over two and a half hours after Titanic struck the iceberg, her rate of sinking suddenly increased as the boat deck dipped underwater, and the sea poured in through open hatches and grates. As her unsupported stern rose out of the water, exposing the propellers, the ship broke in two main pieces between the second and third funnels, due to the immense forces on the keel. With the bow underwater, and air trapped in the stern, the stern remained afloat and buoyant for a few minutes longer, rising to a nearly vertical angle with hundreds of people still clinging to it, before foundering at 2:20 am.
When it comes to how Peter could manage to make that fatal choice for Rebecca, Jackson-Cohen tells The Wrap, “That’s what is really quite fascinating about Peter, is that he has to rationalize that for him to be able to do it.”
“The way that I approach Peter, and the way that he behaves, is that he has had a really, really rough upbringing and has spent his whole life trying to pretend that that didn’t happen and has tried to present himself in a certain way. And he’s never had a family or anyone that really loved him. So to Peter, the idea of losing the one person in his life that has ever shown him kindness and truly cared after him in a way that he needed to be cared for when he was younger, he’s not going to let that go. And so it’s incredibly extreme what he does. But I think in Peter’s mind, it’s the only option. And it’s such a selfish thing, it’s a horrific thing that he does. But to Peter, it’s genuinely life or death for him. He will not be able to exist without her there. And so it makes for an incredibly f—ed up story.”
As for the children, well, Jackson-Cohen says that’s “pretty messed up,” too, but comes from a slightly different motivation.
