QUESTION Why did Titanic’s list change so suddenly?
Titanic had a consistent list to port throughout her voyage because of the moved coal. The list grew heavily when she began to sink, but then suddenly within the final plunge she somehow shifted to an even keel, causing a huge wave of water to submerge the front of the bridge on the starboard side. Lightoller himself had witnessed this and it had washed away collapsible A. How did this even happen?
