Things that I understand about this article is that the captain has to fill the lifeboat with women and children first and a couple of crewmen's. " They filled them with women and children first, plus a few crewmen to pull the oar". this shows that they have to take the vulnerable people out first while the men's stay on the boat trying to recover it. Another thing I understand is that there were a lack of organisation.' there had been no life boat drill... didn't know what to do'.
