Persuasive Essay About Titanic

Titanic: The Unsinkable Ship, is a tragic story we all know well. Ironically enough, as you know, the Titanic (the unsinkable ship) sank; however, the lost and lived lives of the people aboard the tremendous ship when it sank are, sadly, stories we do not know. All of them , rich and poor, were in the same boat, literally, when it crashed into that murderous glacier. However, is the gun the murderer if a man pulled its trigger and the bullet found its awesomely sweet embrace in the chest of another. What I mean is, the death of 1,503 souls could have been saved if pride would have been set aside and warnings heeded. One of the souls lost was Sydney Samuel Jackson, a lawyer originally from south Africa who was on a trip to Montreal with his wife, and her mother and sisters .

The Titanic was a modern marvel. The Titanic was a part of a trio of abnormally large ships to be built by White Star Line due to a rivalry with another shipping company (Brewster & Coulter, 1998). With newer technology coming with new age, White Star Line vessels aimed to please with being able to arrive on time consistently while also having luxury (Eaton & Haas, 1986). Because of the combination

Have you ever wrecked the world’s second largest cruise ship by accidentally setting it on fire, causing 8,500 people to evacuate in lifeboats right before it sank? Yeah, me neither. However, I did take for granted 2,384 crewmembers serving me for seven days straight while I caught a tan and gained a few hundred pounds by eating free food 24/7. Instead of being on an 18-deck cruise ship right now, I’m in class writing an essay of the time I was. Enjoy the memories you make because you can’t relive them once their gone or disappear out of class into a pool sipping a strawberry daiquiri.

Elsie was excited to explore the first class part of the ship, even though she was a third class passenger. First class had luxury that she had never seen before. A german U-boat was coming closer and closer to the beautiful ship. “ U-boats were hot, claustrophobic and full of sweat, fumes, and human waste.” The U-boat had to sink at least two ships that day, and the lusitania was one of them. The U-boat created a torpedo that struck the lusitania. The large ship couldn’t take it and sank. Panic rose upon the ship. People fell of the ship and had to swim in Fifty degrees water. Death had taken over. Elsie’s brother, Frank, fell off the ship and no

On a warm Monday night in the midst of October of 1912, I had a heart attack and died. I was a friendly captain who loved to interact with others on the ship. Everyday, I watch my nephew George as he seeks new adventures as a captain. He took after my footsteps. I have a identical twin brother, Jerry. He was a captain who sailed right by my side. We worked together each and everyday. We had some great memories together. He now lives 1,000 miles away from our nephew George. Day by day, I sit here looking at earth now. People all over the world are looking for pictures of me. If someone finds pictures of me and takes them to a specialist auctioneer, they get $3000 for the pictures because they are so rare. They are looking for these pictures because I was the main captain of the Titanic. While on the Titanic, I was known as the ‘Millionaire’s Captain’, because I had control over everything on the boat. The year I died, they got a new captain who controlled the boat. Not even 2 days after he started working, the ship hit an iceberg and sunk.

The sinking of the Titanic is still among the many great and tragic incidence to occur at sea in our history. Not only was it the largest and most luxurious liner at the time, it was also the most ill-fated cruise ship as it sailed off on its first and last voyage.

Other than that, we must learn to appreciate what we had, rich people should not look down at the poor people because the wealth that we acquire in the presents will be of nothing once our time in this world is over. When introduced a new era of realism in which people begin to understand even the biggest and latest technology it still not perfect, and certainly there are no such thing as "unsinkable

After a very short stay, my boys and I soon realized that all we longed for was to move back to Providence. I booked us a passage as 3rd class passengers back to the States on a ship named the Titanic. Everyone said that it was unsinkable. That quickly changed.

“Not really. We’re just going to my house to play Super Tech Mechs 17,” I replied, getting a little flustered.

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

Climbing aboard the Majesty of the Seas was an enchanting experience. I was in awe of the ship that I would be calling home for the next three days on my journey to the islands of the Bahamas and back to Florida. After boarding, I hurried to the room my brother and I would be sharing during our stay. Breathless from the stairs, I paused in the doorway to catch my breath and admire the view. The large bed took up most of the room. Behind it was a large window showcasing the blue of the ocean. I was feeling giddy. I rushed my family to the buffet in the hopes that once their bellies were full they would be ready to explore the rest of vessel with me. As my mom and I arrived where the food was laid out for the ship’s guest, a man in the ship’s service uniform approached us and asked us where we were from. When I said “New York,” he looked at my mom and asked once again. This time, she spoke, “India.”

After checking in with the people in the dive shop, we began to load the boat. It was a slow process, but with a bit of teamwork, we were ready to leave at sundown. As I hopped into the boat I glanced out toward the horizon. The sun was beginning to set, and the colors of the night sky were slowly rising. The pale blues of noon were retreating as the fiery colors of the sunset took their place in the sky. “We’re all ready to go,” the boat captain hollered over the sound of the engine. With a shove and a kick, the boat slowly made its way away from the dock, and towards the unknown.

Much to our luck the weather soon clouded over our short little paradise of fun. Before the clouds could settle on their prey, a trio of first-class farers came raining on our parade. A young man and two young ladies, who trailed close behind him. Their presence alone was an insult to us in the lower class. They took a tour of the steerage area, leaving quickly to their recherché cabins and wholesome meals. That night, three days ago I found that if I slept on the floor next to the door I could catch a draft of fresh air. My journey on this ship ends today.
