The photo showsthe ship’s stern moving away, marking its final hours before hitting an iceberg.
Key Details About the Last Photo:

- Date/Time:Early afternoon on April 11, 1912, after leaving Queenstown harbor, its final stop.
- Photographer:Various sources attribute it to different passengers/witnesses, but most prominently by John Morrogh or the tender boat carrying departing passengers.
