Millionaire Arthur Ryerson stepped on board the Titanic, the world’s most famous luxury ship. He was going to enjoy this trip across the Atlantic. This was the Titanic’s first voyage, a trip from England to New York City. Her decks were filled with libraries, smoking rooms, dining rooms, a gymnasium, and a swimming pool.
When the Titanic pulled out of port on April 10, 1912, she was carrying 2,224 passengers and crew. The first four days of the trip were clear, clam, and cold. Arthur Ryerson spent his days talking, walking, and playing cards with several of his friends. All the passengers were enjoying their days abroad the ship. None of them knew of the danger ahead. They were approaching icebergs.
The evening of April 14 was relaxed and friendly. By 11:30, most passengers were sleeping or getting ready for bed. Other passengers were reading, drinking, or writing letters. The band was finishing for the evening. Arthur Ryerson was playing cards with three of his friends.
Out in the cold, one of the crewmen was standing watch. Suddenly, up ahead, he saw something in the water. He immediately rang three bells and radioed the engine room. "Iceberg, right ahead! Stop!" It was too late. The iceberg ripped a 300-foot hole in the Titanic’s right side. The ship was filling with water and sinking fast.
There was no panic on board. Arthur Ryerson was one of the men who helped women and children into the lifeboats. When he saw there would be no room for himself or any of the other men on the ship, Ryerson and his three friends returned to the smoking room and their game of cards. They were still playing as the Titanic sank into the icy waters. On that cold evening in 1912, 1,513 people lost their lives in one of the worst sea disasters in history.
