On May 15, 1934 the RMS Olympic collided with and sank the LV-117, killing seven of the eleven crew members aboard. The RMS Olympic was the sister ship of the RMS Titanic. The LV-117 was a light vessel moored on the Nantucket shoal, acting as a lighthouse to direct incoming and outgoing shipping lanes. The collision occurred at 3.5 miles per hour and was catastrophic for the LV-117. In contrast, a passenger on the RMS Olympic described the occurrence as "a slight jar."

This exhibition occupies the moment in time in which the Olympic is spotted and creeping toward an imminent collision.
