1:00:00
That's somebody's grave marker.
1:00:02
That's the only grave marker
they have.

1:00:07
You see now that we are coming
to the davit.

1:00:10
Yeah.
Davit Number One.

1:00:13
This was Lifeboat One,
1:00:15
where Sir Cosmo and
Lady Duff Gordon had escaped

1:00:17
with only 10 other people
1:00:19
in a lifeboat that could have
held two dozen more.

1:00:28
The law of the sea
is women and children first

1:00:30
when you go to evacuate a ship.
1:00:32
For the time being,
1:00:33
I shall require
only women and children.

1:00:36
On the port side of the
ship, Second Officer Lightoller

1:00:39
took it to mean
women and children only,

1:00:41
and he only let women
and children into the boats,

1:00:43
and then as few crewmen
as possible to navigate it.

1:00:46
Please! Daddy!
1:00:48
Don't you worry.
1:00:52
Working on the other
side, here's Murdoch,

1:00:55
getting the boats in the water
as quick as he can,

1:00:57
shoving men, women, children,
first-class, third-class.

1:01:00
He didn't care.
1:01:01
- May I get in the boat?
- I wish you would.

1:01:04
Yes, ma'am.
I n you go.

1:01:06
Lower away!
1:01:08
Almost 2/3 of everyone
who survived

1:01:10
have Murdoch to thank for it.
1:01:21
Moving into the "A" deck
promenade with the R. O.V.,

1:01:25
it really looked familiar.
1:01:28
A long, sweeping, open deck.
Half of it was open.

1:01:31
The forward end was enclosed
by large glass windows.

1:01:34
This is right where
they walked, you know?

1:01:37
John Jacob Astor put
Madeline Astor into the lifeboat

1:01:39
right through one
of those windows right there.

1:01:43
Because she was pregnant,
1:01:45
he asked
Second Officer Lightoller...

1:01:47
May I accompany my wife?
1:01:48
No, sir.
Women and children only.

1:01:50
Come on.
1:01:51
Here, darling.
Take these.

1:01:53
And so he told her
he'd be seeing her in New York.

1:01:55
No, sir.
Step aside.

1:01:59
I've been thinking about
my family a lot being out here,
