Did you know that the Titanic, Britannic and the Olympic are all sister ships? The ships were all supposed to be unsinkable. Two of them sank shortly after they were built. The Titanic sank on its first voyage. The Britannic sank on its 6th voyage. This happened on November 21, 1916.

The deluxe steamship, Titanic set sail from Southampton, United Kingdom on April 10, 1912. The Titanic was a luxurious ship that carried some of the wealthiest people of the world as well as emigrants searching for a new way of life, it was said to be a “floating palace.” The technology that was present on this ship was remarkable for the time period. It had high-tech capabilities and was one of the best accomplishments. As the palace was on its voyage to the Port of New York, it ran into a large iceberg. The impact was so large that the ship’s hull plates were forced inwards, allowing water to rush in. The ship slowly sank on April 15, 1912. The Titanic’s crash became the most iconic shipwrecks in history and grasped headline after headline. This paper has article reviews from James P. Delgado, David

On April 15th 1912 the largest ship in the world, the Titanic, plunged into the icy blue waters of the Atlantic ocean.  Hundreds of bodies littered the shining ripples of water while survivors frantically searched for their loved ones, holding on to the hope that they were still alive. No one knows who is to blame for this horrific disaster, but many believe that Captain Smith is to blame for the sinking. He ignored ice warnings from the crew and surrounding ships. He also allowed lifeboats to be filled to only half their capacity before being lowered into the water. Captain Smith also traveled at full speed through an ice field.

World War II stands as one of the deadliest times in world history with over 60 million people dying. Events like the Holocaust and many of the battle are well-known for the number of the deaths they caused, but one event remains relatively unknown even though it has a high death count: the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff. The cruise liner held 10,500 civilians and troops before it sunk deep into the Baltic Sea along with 9,400 lives. The death toll of this single ship is five times larger than the Titanic or the Lusitania.

The Sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy that affected many. This event will forever be in the memories of the people who have suffered from losing loved ones and to the people that such a historical event affected. History was drastically changed after the Sinking of the Titanic, the so called “unsinkable” ship, occurred. A number of theories have been conducted about this event throughout the years after its occurrence. However, only one of these theories should be true. The workers who built the Titanic relied more on the aesthetic beauty and scenery of the ship, rather than the safety of the passengers.

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic left Southampton, England on her voyage to New York City. The White Star spent all they had and spared no expense in assuring her luxury. She was a legend even before she sailed. The Titanic had passengers mixed with the world’s wealthiest basking in the elegance of first class accommodations and immigrants packed into steerage. She was said to be the safest ship ever built, so safe that she only carried 20 lifeboats, which was enough to accommodate for only half her 2,200 passengers and crew. This was decided due to the ship’s construction that was said to make her “unsinkable.” The Titanic was four days into her journey, when she struck an iceberg at 11:40 P.M. on April 14, 1912. The fireman compared the sound to “the tearing of calico, nothing more.” The collision was fatal and the icy water soon poured through the

On the night that everything went wrong, the Titanic received many ice warnings from other ships that were nearby. None of the crew members took those warnings seriously because the ship was supposedly indestructible. The crew quickly realized how serious the warnings were when they saw a huge, dark shape in the distance. They tried to steer away from the iceberg, but it was too late. The iceberg brushed along the side of the Titanic, and the ship came to a stop. Many people on board didn’t even realize the ship had hit anything, but many noticed the unsettling quietness after the engines stopped (Ballard

The Titanic crashed at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, the British ocean liner sinks into the North Atlantic Ocean. The massive ship, which carried 2,200 passengers and crew, had struck an iceberg two and half hours before sinking. The beginning which is the construction of the Titanic took 3 years with the help anywhere from three thousand to fifteen thousand men. The RMS Titanic took sail April 11, 1912 from Southampton, England in the hopes of New York City. The Titanic 's passengers were divided into three separate classes, determined not only by the price of their ticket but by wealth and social class, those traveling in first class, the wealthiest passengers on board, were prominent and those traveling in third class were among the poorest. The Titanic received several warnings throughout its travel and ignored because the ship was assumed “unsinkable. “The Titanic eventually hit an iceberg and it was warned prior to impact. The ship didn’t have much time and couldn’t do it anything about impact. It was much too late to retaliate to the wreckage, the only thing they could do was hope. Aboard the Titanic only seven hundred and six passengers survived that fateful night of April 15, 1912. Even though the Titanic was the biggest ship at its time and thought to be unsinkable, the worst thing possibly imagined happened and it is with that loss of the ship and lives helpless people, we today learn that anything can happen at any moment of our lives.

Some would say that one’s social status or financial abilities makes them worth more than one another. Titanic passengers were divided into three separate classes, determined not only by the price of their ticket, but by their wealth; the third class passengers consisted of immigrants and diverse groups of different nationalities, who were moving to the United States and Canada to find a better way of life (Brewster 25). Spike Milligan once stated, “Only the third class tourist class passengers’ deck was it a sultry overcast morning, but then if you do things on the cheap you must expect these things.” The treatment of the third class passengers on the infamous ship The Titanic was shameful and unjust due to their eating and sleeping conditions, mistreatment, and repercussions during the sinking.

On April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 am the time of the sad luxurious ocean liner, The Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean because it hit an iceberg 100 feet high and 400 feet long. There were 2208 innocent people on the colossal ship when it sunk.

During 11:40 P.M. on Sunday, the 14th day of April, 1912, the New White Star Liner Titanic hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Lookout Frederick Fleet warned about the iceberg getting larger and closer to the other line of the ship at the bridge but they are not alarmed because the ship was labelled “unsinkable”. While on the other hand, passengers doing different

On Sunday, April 14th, 1912 at 11:40PM the starboard side of the Titanic scraped along an iceberg. The passengers felt a vibrating jar. Water Began to rush into the 300 foot gash. First Officer, William Murdoch quickly closed the watertight doors. Captain Smith returned to the bridge and asked Officer Murdoch, “What have we struck?” Murdoch confirmed that the Titanic had struck an iceberg. Captain Smith asked Fourth Officer Boxhall to inspect the forward area of the hull. Officer Boxhall hurried to inspect the damage and returned to inform them that the Orlop deck was flooded forward of the #4 Watertight bulkhead. Captain Smith asked him to establish the Titanic's position and requested that Thomas Andrews and the ship carpenter “Sound the

The Titanic was a British passenger liner that was on its maiden voyage into the Atlantic Ocean. After a promising first few days at sea, the fate of the Titanic took a tumultuous turn towards the bottom of the ocean after colliding with a large iceberg. The Titanic is the most fascinating disaster to learn about because the Titanic was filled with luxurious rooms for wealthy passengers, it was supposed to be unsinkable, and after the collision, dangerous things started happening.

Because of a little known film, many people assume that they know the harrowing stories of the tragic tale of the Titanic. But quite often, those harrowing stories of survival and demise are told from a man’s perspective. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that only “19%” of the male passengers and crew survived the shipwreck while “75%” of the female passengers and crew lived, or maybe it is because the coverage of the tragedy and inquiries into the global disaster were mainly presented from the male perspective (Henderson). Whatever the reason, primary sources regarding female passengers are seemingly harder to come across compared to male-centric news stories, inquiry testimonies, and journals. Even after finding a select number of primary sources featuring women, the number of those related to first-class women compared to third-class women is alarmingly insufficient. Why is it that an already misrepresented class must be subjected to class exclusion? Sexism and classism for the women aboard the Titanic continued long after the ship established its watery grave.
