Captain Oscar Henderson of Cromartyshire was sailing sounding his fog horn and heard a ship's whistle but was unable to determine its direction. His ship collided with La Bourgogne about midships on the starboard side while most passengers were asleep in their compartments.[5] The liner's compartments adjacent to the collision point filled immediately, starboard side lifeboats were damaged and the ship took a sharp list to starboard, making launching of port side lifeboats difficult.[5] As the ship started to list and the stern went under, an undisciplined rush for lifeboats began.[8] La Bourgogne sank just over half an hour after the collision. The Cromartyshire survived the collision minus the bowspirit,[9] but her crew mistook the La Bourgogne's whistle and signal rockets for an offer of assistance, and they did not realize what was happening until the whistle fell silent.
