According to accounts, the stern momentarily settled back in the water before rising again, eventually becoming vertical. It briefly remained in that position before beginning its final plunge. In a horrifying sight, the ship broke in two in its final moments and went under the sea at 2:20 AM ship’s time on April 15, about 400 miles off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Then, the rescue ship Carpathia began taking in Titanic survivors at 4:10 AM. Only 306 bodies of Titanic passengers were recovered and one of the lifeboats was found in the ocean a month after the sinking with three bodies in it.
