00:00Mrs. Johanna Stunck, a first-class passenger on the North German Lloyd liner Bremen,

00:04sailed past a fateful iceberg on April 20th, one week after the disaster.

00:09It was between four and five o'clock on Saturday when our ship sighted off to bow to the starboard,

00:16an iceberg. As we drew nearer and could make out small dots floating around in the sea,

00:24a feeling of awe and sadness crept over everyone, and the ship proceeded in absolute silence.

00:34Looking down over the rail, we distinctly saw a number of bodies so clearly that we could make

00:40out what they were wearing, and whether they were men or women. We saw one woman in her nightdress,

00:48with a baby clasped closely to her breast. Several of the women passengers screamed and left the rail

00:56in a fainting condition. There was another woman, fully dressed, with her arms tight around the body

01:04of a shaggy dog that looked like a St. Bernard. The bodies of three men in a group, all clinging to

01:12one steamer chair floated close by. And just beyond them were a dozen bodies of men, all in life

01:21preservers, clinging together as dawned a last desperate struggle for life. Those were the only

01:28bodies we passed near enough to distinguish, but we could see the wide life preservers of many more,

01:35dots, dotting the sea all the way to the iceberg.
