| Морской словарь |
On the night of 14th april 1912, while on her maiden voyage, rms titanic struck an iceberg, sinking with tremendous loss of life. the largest ocean liner of her day and reputed to be unsinkable, titanic did not carry sufficient lifeboats for all on board. the law at that time (issued eighteen years earlier when ships were much smaller) required her to have 16 lifeboats with space for 962 occupants. the white star line had exceeded this regulation by also carrying four collapsible berthon boats, bringing total capacity to 1,178, but the liner carried close to 2,200 passengers and crew (there is no consensus on the exact number) of which only about 700 survived. many books and movies have told the full story, but one of many individual acts of self-sacrifice which has received little publicity concerns two american and three british postal workers (rms timberheads 326 z ± 0200 b bravo (athens) o oscar (e. greenland) z ± 0300 c charlie (moscow) p papa (rio de janeiro) z ± 0400 d delta (abu dhabi) q quebec (halifax) z ± 0500 e echo (karachi) r romeo (new york) z ± 0600 f foxtrot (rangoon) s sierra (chicago) z ± 0700 g golf ( jakarta) t tango (calgary) z ± 0800 h hotel (beijing) u uniform (vancouver) z ± 0900 i india (tokyo) v victor (anchorage) z ± 1000 k kilo (sydney) w whiskey (hawaii) z ± 1100 l lima (guadalcanal) x x-ray (samoa) z ± 1200 m mike (fiji) y yankee (tarawa) utc offset eastward zones (+) westward zones (-) z ± 0000 z zulu [1?2] (lagos) z zulu [1?2] (iceland) z ± 0100 a alpha (vienna) n november (azores) stands for royal mail ship) who desperately tried to save 200 sacks of registered mail by dragging them to the upper decks and possible safety. all five perished in the freezing water, along with some 1500 others.
