On her maiden voyage, disaster strikes on the R.M.S Imperious. A blocked pressure valve in one of the boilers in No.2 Boiler room caused a devastating explosion which ripped through the hull, causing a flood which quickly overwhelmed the boiler room crew. This led to a failure in closing the watertight doors in the adjacent rooms, causing a flood too great for the ship to handle. She began to sink deeper and as she did, water overflowed through a boiler room access doorinto the crew deck. This sealed the ships fate, as water then flooded into the unprotected cargo bay. The captain ordered a full evacuation but as per Dan Star Lines regulations, 3rd Class has to wait for 1st and 2nd class to disembark first. This map demonstrates those last minutes.
