After boat C had been lowered from the starboard side, the crew tried to fasten boat A to the davits by Murdoch and Moody when it was washed off Titanic at 2:15 am. The boat was washed over the side of the ship and in the chaos, the canvas sides had not been put up, so it was soon awash with icy sea water half-submerged and dangerously overloaded. around 17 to 20 people started climbing into it from the water, but only 13 of them survived the night. The boat was recovered a month later by the Oceanic, another White Star Line ship.
