∙ 14y agoYes. Fourth Officer Joseph G. Boxhall and Quartermaster Alfred Rowe were ordered by Smith to fire distress rockets. These were rockets which burst in a white cluster high enough above the ship to be seen from at least 10-15 miles away or more under favorable conditions. Between 12:45 AM and about 1:45 AM on April 15, 1912, 8 rockets were fired from the sinking Titanic. The only ship that was definitely close enough to see them was the Leyland steamer Californian, whose master, Stanley Lord, inexplicably failed to wake his wireless operator to see if a vessel was in distress. Californian's officers on watch saw all 8 being fired and were only ordered by Lord to try to contact the ship via Morse lamp.

∙ 14y agoNo, there is no evidence to support the claim that fireworks were set off the Titanic when it was sinking. The sinking of the Titanic was a tragic event, and survivors reported hearing distress signals, not fireworks.

∙ 10y agoYes, they did set off a series of distress fireworks (rockets) to get the attention of any nearby ships. It was reported later that the SS Californian was close enough and some of her crew saw rockets from the Titanic. Unfortunately, it did not head over to save the passengers and crew.
Stage fireworks are commonly referred to as pyrotechnics or stage pyrotechnics. They are used to add visual and auditory effects to performances and events on stage.
I'm not able to provide real-time updates on events. You may want to check the local news or event websites for information about fireworks in Genesee County.
I'm not able to provide real-time updates on events in a specific location. I recommend checking the official Overpeck Park website or contacting the park directly for information on fireworks events.
Because it's really there.
The Beech Grove fireworks typically start around 10:00 PM. It's recommended to check the official event page or local news outlets for the most up-to-date information on the event time.
It really was an iceberg!
Titanic was nonfiction because the sinking was a real event.
712 people survived the sinking of Titanic, for real.
Yes. It was a real liner. The whole story of the sinking was real.
There were real people on the Titanic. The ship carried 2207 people, of whom 712 survived the sinking of the ship.
The ship named the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. That is true. The film 'Titanic' was a fictional enactment of that tragedy. The main characters in the film were not real people.
Titanic was released on December 19th, 1997. It will be released in 3D on April 6th, 2012 for the real Titanic's 100th anniversary (on April 15th) of the sinking.
Depends on what you're talking about. There is plenty of real footage of the real Titanic from two miles below the Surface. But any sequence of the ship actually sinking is fake.
In the 1997 movie Titanic, Rose survives the sinking of the ship, yes. But Rose Dewitt Bukater is a fictional character. She is not a real person. So if you are asking whether the "real" Rose survived the Titanic, then the answer is that there is no real Rose.
true love which is not real(romance) and sinking of the ship is happened base on reality.
jack and rose were not on the real titanic.
there is no real answer to who caused the titanic but some people said it was Bruce ismay and others said it was the captain and others say it was the ship builders.
