A TITANIC Story
By Mike & Ernst Ulrik Persson (Titanic Survivors)

On April 14 1912 the TITANIC hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes later, April 15 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,496 people, making it one of the most deadly maritime disasters in history. The TITANIC disaster will be a century old on April 15 2012, this website was named to mark that moment in history.

Ernst entered the water, " I sank several meters below the surface. Floating up again, I had a roof of wreckage over my head, and hung on for a good while. But then the ship began to sink, so I had to leave the wreckage and try to swim away. Otherwise, I would have been dragged into the depths once again. As I floated and swam around, I saw how people in the water tried to save themselves in an overloaded boat. But when they hung on to the sides, the boat overturned with the keel upward. I saw how some people climbed up on it, so I swam to it, and was taken up. It was so crowded that it floated nearly one meter below the water. There I had to lie for six hours with the water up to my shoulders".
