[Titanic] Harbor

Erica misses the historic moment when the captain announces that the Titanic is about to sink.

But at this time, she still felt the disaster that this announcement meant without hindrance.

In the textbooks of later generations, what Erica learned was to use time and damaged parts to explain the capsizing process of the Titanic.

In the movie, all Erica sees is a gorgeous poster of Jack and Rose hugging each other.

What does that reality look like?

There are waves over the deck, splashing those expensive cashmere slippers or handmade leather shoes.

Some people pushed and shoved frantically, but when they reached the front row, they didn't dare to rush up first.

The lifeboat had been lowered, but the people standing in the first few rows all backed away one after another.No one wants to be the first on board.

luck.

Erica looked at her pocket watch. The hazy starlight prevented her from capturing the exact time at the first glance. She changed her position several times before seeing the exact time.

Time is running out.After tonight, the Titanic is doomed to sink.

Fortunately, a turning point appeared at this time.

A pair of newlyweds took the lead on the lifeboat hand in hand, and after that, the ladies of high society all boarded the boat.

The three lifeboats on the east side of the deck were quickly filled.

Because three rescue ships came this time, in theory, as long as the time allocation is reasonable, everyone can be rescued.After the ladies were all on board, some older people also boarded the boat in the second batch.

Erica waited very close to the ship, and when the first team got on board, she followed the lifeboat.

The boat was lowered and was quickly picked up by a rescue boat.When they were helped onto the deck by the crew of another ship and stood steadily on the deck of another ship, it felt like a world away.

Erica turned her head, looked at the flickering sea, looked at the Titanic at this time from another perspective, and could only see the huge shadow and the extremely fragile life behind the shadow.

Some of her previous preparations worked, but many more didn't.

Who cares about that?After all, she has successfully survived!

The deck of this ship is still very chaotic. After all, at this time, no one cares what the rescued people will do. The captain of this ship has obviously given an order to save more people.

Erica took a look at the ship that had saved her life.Not as big as the Titanic, not as gorgeous as the Titanic, especially when the two ships are compared together, the gap is huge.

It was like having a beautiful dream and then waking up from the dream.

Erica heard a lady complaining dissatisfiedly: "My God, I actually got on such a poor ship. Look at the deck here, it's really shabby and terrible."

"Yeah, I still listen to a small yacht in the harbor in the United States. It was given to me by my husband on my birthday. It is named after me. It would be great if he was still around. "

Erica heard such a conversation. Although the speaker's face could not be seen clearly in the dark night, their conversation still had an entertaining effect.

What a lot of fun!

Even the busy crew members on the side laughed.

The load of the three rescue ships was enough to save everyone on the Titanic.

It is true that a large ship capsizes quickly, but it does not disappear in the blink of an eye.

Not surprisingly, the lady's husband should be well on another rescue boat.If her husband knew that he had been classified as dead, and her wife was already crying about it, she didn't know what expression she would have.

The laughter in the dark night apparently overwhelmed the two women who spoke until a third lady came up to them and explained the status of the rescue ship.Everyone's laughter grew louder, and even the people on the same boat as the two men burst into laughter.

After a brief interlude, the survivors on the ship turned their eyes back to the great shadow in the darkness, and the Titanic looked even more damaged than it had been before.

There was even a dismal creaking sound from the disconnection in the middle, and a part of the ship had already sunk into the water. Looking from a distance, it looked like a branch that was cut off from the middle.

Powerless.

Erica's ship is fully loaded.As the first ship to arrive, Carpathia has completed all of its missions.

Erica heard the command in his Scottish accent: "Stay as far away from Titanic as possible."

This means that the rescue part is done, and what needs to be done now is to retreat.When the Titanic sinks, it will bring a huge vortex, and if it does not leave as soon as possible, it will also be dragged into the water together.

The captain's order was all right, but there were still some worried prayers on board.

Today, Erica turned her head countless times. When she turned her head for the last time, she saw that the shadow of the Titanic had completely disappeared on the sea. The sea was as calm as if the despair and anger before had never existed. generally.

Now, people can see the white iceberg, and it still stands quietly on the sea, leaving only the cruel and ruthless white corner, like a white tombstone, which will exist for a long time.

Erica tightened the cloak on her body. She was wearing too much for all the refugees.Although the corners of her cloak were wet by sea water, at least it blocked the sea breeze, which made Erica reluctant to throw it away.

The turning of the rudder does not require the participation of all crew members on board, and the remaining part of the crew stays to house the survivors.

There was such a crew member standing beside Erica, and she heard him mutter in a familiar London accent: "There have never been so many people staying on this ship at the same time!"

"So you have to make a reasonable distribution. Collect all the spirits, and each person who gets wet will take a bite. If there are not enough rooms, you must balance it from the beginning, and there must be no uneven distribution, otherwise Those ladies won't give in easily."

Erica didn't know what she was thinking. At this moment, the suggestions lingering in her mind couldn't stop being poured out.

Fortunately, in the dark night, the crew didn't see her face clearly, so it's meaningless to be too early at this time.Especially those suggestions that might annoy the haughty 'rich' wives.

She quickly took a few steps to the side, so that when the crew member turned back, Erica was already standing among a group of women, and it was impossible to find out who was talking just now.

Carpathia was the first ship to arrive, and likewise, its mobilization was the most efficient.

After half an hour, everyone has been arranged in their own rooms.

People who are destined can always meet each other.The Cockney crew member is the second-in-command of this ship. Obviously he has listened to Erica's suggestion that each room on the ship must accommodate four people, and the lonely bed in the single room can only be used by the ladies themselves. distribute.

He also turned the best-decorated rooms on the ship into wards by analogy, so that those who catch a cold and have a fever can get the best rest.

Erica sat in the room she had been assigned.This should be a sailor's room.There was nothing on the walls, well, some mosquito blood and yellow stains for decoration.

Before anyone else came in, the brief silence reminded Erica of a man she shouldn't have thought of—Green.

I don't know if he found out that his telegram had been tampered with at this time?I hope he can feel a little comfort after reading the note, so that he won't have a heart attack in anger.

And fate always brings a lot of coincidences, just like the few people who will live with Erica in the next few days.

When the door of the room was pushed open again, Erica saw two familiar faces.They were wearing fine white pajamas, their faces seemed to be carved out of the same mold, but their temperaments and ages were completely different.

Forgive her for describing it that way.Young Ruth looked all right, except for the panic and melancholy she'd had through most of the night's turmoil, at least she wasn't sad or upset.

This was not the case with the elderly Mrs. Bucket, but she let out a 'loud' scream as soon as she stepped into the room.

"My God! How could they put me in a room like this, with this woman, it's just horrible!"

Erika, too lazy to deal with this annoying lady, took off her cloak and shook off the water droplets that hadn't fully penetrated it.

"Mother, the conditions are difficult now, we should be grateful that we can be saved!" Ruth pulled Mrs. Labkett, and it was amazing how a mother and daughter could show such different qualities.

Later, Ruth saw Erica. Everyone was in a mess now, and it was forgiveable for not seeing it clearly at first glance.Mrs. Bucket recognized Erica at first sight, which made people 'flattered'

"Erica!" The worry on her brow receded slightly: "It's a relief to see that you are safe."

When she was just out of danger, even Mrs. Bucket relaxed a lot, her expression was obviously loose, and she even took a few steps inside.

But the last resident who entered the room once again broke the relaxed atmosphere.
