Titanic Collapsible Boat B

Common card · No. 213325

Collapsible Boat B was a lifeboat from the Titanic. It was one of the last boats launched to sea, over two and a half hours after the Titanic collided with an iceberg and began sinking on 14 April 1912. Collapsible B could not be successfully launched, and it was washed off deck and upside down when the Titanic made her final plunge at 2:20 a.m. It carried mostly men, including Second Officer Charles Lightoller, who took command of the boat until being picked up by others who came to their rescue.
