The Titanic's crew failed to fire correct distress signals after hitting the iceberg. Random rockets were fired, but according to the British inquiry intothe wreck, the message sent by the rockets' pattern never signaled "distress." Instead, the incorrect rocket pattern signaled to any ship in the area the message: "I'm having navigation problem. Please stand clear."

The ship broke in two at around 2.20am on April 15, and sunk, sending all remaining passengers into the ocean. The temperature would have been -2 °C few would have survived longer than 15 minutes in the water, while around one in five would have died within two minutes from cold shock. Charles Joughin, however, the ship’s baker, reportedly tread water for two hours before being rescued with little ill-effects. He claimed he had not felt the cold due to the amount of whiskey he had drunk.

Edward Smith, the ship’s captain, also went down with the vessel.

His last words were “"Well boys, you've done your duty and done it well.

I ask no more of you. I release you.

You know the rule of the sea.

It's every man for himself now, and God bless you.

" A statue of him can be seen in Lichfield, Staffordshire.

First Officer William McMaster Murdoch ordered the ship to turn, but it was too large to do so in time. It has been suggested that the ship would not have sunk if it hit the iceberg head-on. Murdoch went down with the ship; a memorial to him is found in his hometown of Dalbeattie, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.
