The Odyssey of Titanic's Lifeboat No. 2
Relive the saga of Titanic’s Boat No. 2 from beginning to end with the authors of On A Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the RMS Titanic, Tad Fitch, J. Kent Layton, and Bill Wormstedt. This is the first in a planned series of micro-analyses of various aspects of the Titanic disaster that we plan to collaborate on, so please stay tuned for the next episode in our documentary series.
Lifeboat No. 2 was Titanic's port side emergency boat, located just aft of the bridge wing. It was usually kept on-the-ready in case the ship's crew needed to quickly launch a boat, such as for rescuing somebody who fell over, but ironically it was one of the last boats launched on the night of the sinking. Captain Smith himself assigned Fourth Officer Boxhall to the boat, who and the boat was lowered away as the forward section of the ship was going under.
As he rowed away from the ship, Captain Smith called out to Boat No. 2, among other boats then nearby, with orders to move to the ship's starboard side and retrieve additional passengers. Officer Boxhall’s Boat No. 2 was the only boat to comply with these orders, rowing precariously around the sinking ship's stern and propellers, then making a quick dash to safety as the ship began to plunge. Boat No. 2 was the first boat picked up by Carpathia, and it was Officer Boxhall who delivered the formal confirmation to her Captain and officer corps that Titanic had foundered.
This video features CGI from our real-time sinking animation we produced for this last (2021) anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Our goal in making the animation was for it to be the most authentic sinking animation to date.
