Shame on me for being so lazy not to look some of these up.. LOL
Some I wouldn't know WHERE to look (I hate some of the search engines on some of the sites.. It'll pull up anything "train" and a million and one train words come up).. Anyone know some of the answers?? :) I've put answers I know but if they're wrong, please do correct.. :)

Well, I'll try a few right off the top of my head...have to hunt for others--and some I know now that I don't know.

The lookouts relieved were George Symons and Archie Jewel--also Murdoch relieved Lightoller on the bridge.
The ice warnings were passed on.

The Carpathia showed up in NY at about 9 PM on 18 April. She first stopped at White Star's pier to drop off Titanic's lifeboats, then went to her 14th St. pier for docking and first and second class passengers could disembark at just about 9:30 PM.

Titanic received ice warnings even before it left Southampton. Between thursday and saturday more than 20 ships reported ice in the area Titanic was to go. At night most of these ships stopped (standard practice of ships at the time).

The miles were posted at noon each day.
Titanic logged:
386 miles from thursday to friday.
519 miles from friday to saturday.
546 miles from saturday to sunday.
I leave it to others to figure how many miles she made from sunday noon to.... and don't forget the approx. half mile at half speed Capt Smith ordered after the collision to 'feel' the ship for damage (which of course he found was fatal).

So, here are a couple things anyway. Have to hunt for the others....
