If you thought that 600 yards was a long way, check out this picture of the 1,000 yard range at Capitan, NM This is what those targets look like through a 45x spotting scope. The bottom line: F-Class shooting is always a challenge and lots of fun.
1 When the Titanic struck the iceberg, six of its 16 watertight compartments were damaged. The ship started taking on water in the bow through openings about 20 feet below the water line.  As the liner nosed down, water flooded compartments one after another and the ship's stern began rising out of the water.
The Carpathia was the closest ship to the sinking Titanic, but it was still 4 hours away. It took the Titanic over two hours to fully sink into the ocean and the final part of the ship went under at 2:20am on the morning of April 15, 1912. The Carpathia vessel ended up arriving two hours after the Titanic had already sunk.
