Everyone Knows The Infamous Story Of The Titanic And Her

The Titanic‘s construction began on March 31, 1909. On May 31, 1911, the ginormous ship has sailed. As on the night of April 14, 11:40 PM, lookouts spotted a large iceberg dead ahead. As the ship and the iceberg move towards each other, BOOM! The Titanic and the iceberg crashed like two middle schoolers in a hallway bumping into each other. A big total of 1,517 men, women, and children died along with the Titanic. Most killed themselves after the Titanic’s sinkage, and a total of 328 bodies were found. But who was to blame of the sinkage?

The Titanic tragedy was not a very happy event, but I am here to share my opinion on the causes of the sinking of it.

The Titanic was a ship that sunk during its maiden voyage in 1912. This big ship was on it’s way to New York when it struck an iceberg. It was believed to be “unsinkable” but that night it met it’s fate and sunk killing many passengers. As the story goes they say it’s the icebergs fault for the sinking of the ship. When in reality, the White Star Line was truly at fault for the sinking of the Titanic. They are responsible for this tragedy because they went full speed after ignoring six ice warnings. Not only that but they should've thought of the consequences when they decided to take off lifeboats for more room for luxury items. Then they weren’t prepared and never had any drills or safety procedures for if the ship were to sink.

Since the catastrophic night of the sinking of the Titanic, the ship had been unfounded for about seven decades. Nearly 12,460 feet deep in the ocean, a team of people from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found the Titanic in September of 1985 (Brewster & Coulter). The ship was split into two, despite popular belief that the Titanic had sank in one piece (Brewster & Coulter, 1998). If anyone were to try to raise part of the 60 foot buried Titanic, it would fall apart (Brewster & Coulter, 1998). After 73 long years, the mystery of the

If you want to know something scary there was a mummy hidden in a wealthy traveler’s car aboard the Titanic. It was said to be a mummy’s curse back when it was bough, but that didn’t stop the American typhoon from purchasing it and transferring it to a museum on the Titanic. Mysteriously in never arrived because of the fateful destruction of the Titanic. Nevertheless, none of these myths or conspiracy about the Titanic are deemed as true as JP Morgan using it to kill off his competition. For 73 years, the titanic could not be found, until discovered by an oceanographer named Dr. Robert Ballard. No sapphire diamond jewelry shaped like a heart were found, but difference in the described vessel didn’t match what was on the design plans. The conspiracy

The sinking of the Titanic is one most well-known shipwreck in modern day history and it's still being written and told about even a century later. The causation of the sinking has been debated heavily since the crash in 1912 and many so-called experts of the titanic disagree with another on this issue. There has been new development when the ship was discovered in 1985 and examined by experts. Leading people that the sinking was caused by three major turning points. The first being the failures of White Star Line who manufacture the ship starting in 1909. The second being the crew of the ship that had some very serve flaws in the plan of action leading up to the disaster. Lastly the passengers who had enough time to prepare before the

April 15, 1912 the “unsinkable” Titanic had almost three hours before it was no longer afloat, but plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. Blueprints, journal & logs, and tons of witnesses were thoroughly inspected over the past 100 years to help solve the question agonizing question, why. For the 100-year remembrance of the tragic event, Smithsonian Channel released a documentary, Titanic’s Final Mystery. Dedicated Titanic detective and historian, Tim Maltin releases his theory on how the “unsinkable” sank.

Second, we must now take a look at the history of the RMS Titanic. It was known as being the largest and, at the time, most extravagant ocean liner built for that time. The Titanic carried 2,200 passengers and crew members and collided into an iceberg just shy of 2 hours before it was supposed to arrive to its destination. Due to a scarcity of lifeboats available to the passengers, over 1,500 people were left to either freeze or drown with the engulfing ship. It is important to note that most of the survivors were found to be children and women (A & E Networks,

The Titanic may be one of the most famous and well known shipwrecks of our time. Just about everyone learns of the tragedy in school and how it was a complete accident. Information has been found that point to the tragedy not being what we think it is. There is evidence that shows that the ship thought to be the Titanic may actually be named the Olympic, and may have been used in an insurance scam. This evidence includes pictures showing different amounts of port holes and even people working on the ship coming forward. It has yet to be proven if this is 100% true, but most would agree that all of this points to it being true.

In the effort of the competition, the White Star Line came up with an idea of creating a massive, luxurious ship that would later be given the name “The Royal Mail Steamer Titanic,” or “Titanic” for short and as it is well known today. The main goal of this ship was to establish a primary ship for the traveling to and from the United States in an extravagant style for the most well-paying passengers among their cruise line. This was made known to the public through the pride the Titanic had earned it’s fleet, for it was the largest moving man made object ever recorded before the year 1912 (“Titanic's Safety Features”). She, the Titanic, was measured to be eight-hundred and eighty-two feet and nine inches just in length, ninety-two feet and six inches in width (or beam) of the ship, and one-hundred and seventy-five feet tall with nine decks on the ship (Source 9). This massive ship was created in just two years, starting in 1909 and finishing in 1911, making it possible for her to make her maiden and final voyage in 1912, give or take a year for test runs and sea trials in Ireland. From there, the design was a perfect one that would win the White Star Line their battle against Cunard, or so they

The Titanic was the biggest ship at the time, and it all started with a competition. It was thought to be an “unsinkable” ship made by the White Star Line Company. It turned into an American tragedy that killed thousands in the process.

Life on the Titanic was marvelous and exquisite; most of the wealthiest people in the world were among those on board the Titanic (SV; SV.). Built in Belfast, Ireland, in 1909, the Titanic, said to be “as long as four city blocks”, was loaded with amenities such as pools and elegant features like supreme wood and extravagant chandeliers (Deitz; Goodman). The ship was a whopping 882.5 feet long, about the length of three football fields, 92.5 feet wide, about 11 stories tall with its smokestacks, and carried 2,200 passengers (Rattini).

When analyzing this disaster the first thing to consider is the engineer’s design of the Titanic. The Titanic was employing many new and innovative designs that were believed to make the Titanic the safest ship ever built at that time. The engineer’s of the vessel made claims that the Titanic was “unsinkable” and that “even in the worst possible accident at sea, the ship should have stayed afloat for two to three days.” One of the features that lead them to this claim was the 16 watertight compartments in the hull of the ship. The way they were designed allowed for up to four compartments to be breached and they ship would still carry

If you are from the U.S then you have probably ran across the movie “The Titanic”. One of the most dynamic and thrilling movies that involves a romantic disaster of two passengers, featuring leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet as Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt Bukater. The main plot of the story portrays jack and rose meeting each other in the Titanic aka “the ship of dreams” and falling madly in love with each other. Unfortunately the ship hits a iceberg and sinks to sea leaving many passengers horrified and jack dying to save Rose. After summarizing the story of the movie, many people who have watched it only focus and sympathize for the romantic disaster of the main characters. Although the movie gives a well depiction of the sinking of the titanic, the movie does not show the full evaluation of what happened in the Titanic and also the aftermath of the Titanic. This essay focuses on the nautical/maritime archaeology of the sinking of the Titanic.
