Sinking of the Empress of Ireland

The sinking of the RMS Empress of Ireland was a 14-minute sinking, and it took away many lives. Of the 16 boats, only few made it.

Sinking of the ship
The RMS Empress of Ireland was sailing at May 29, 1914, when the ship hit fog, and it collided with the Storstad at 1:56 am. The ship is listing fast. Now, it is listing to starboard. The boats are lowered to go by the captain, and the lights went off soon. At about 10 minutes since the collison, the ship started a faster listing worser, until it is now 90 degrees starboard. The propellers rose up 2 minutes later, and the ship sank down after 14 minutes with damage.
