The Controversing Of Titanic : The Sinking Of The Titanic

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 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.

Most people thought that the Titanic was unsinkable, but they couldn’t have been any further from the truth. The Titanic’s maiden voyage in the early 1900s was cut short due to a collision with an iceberg. The Titanic was a tragic event that helped change sailing for years to come because of the massive casualties and the sinking of an unsinkable ship.

On April 15, 1912 at 11:40 P.M. the Titanic collided with an iceberg and by 2:20 A.M. it was at the bottom of the ocean; over 1,500 people died. The massive loss of life was a shock to the world. The “unsinkable” ship had sunk. Despite the Titanic’s claims about being “unsinkable” and completely safe, many avoidable things led to the immense number of fatalities, such as the shortage of lifeboats, lowered bulkheads, and the lack of binoculars. Bruce Ismay, the designer of the Titanic and director of Whitestar line, often chose the comfort of his passengers over their safety. While Ismay was designing the Titanic he thought that the deck was too cluttered so he decided to keep only a third of the lifeboats needed to save all of the passengers

The Titanic was the biggest ship of it’s kind when it was built. But it came to end not long after it set sail. Was safety the issue? It was the only cause. For example, my first rule is that there should be 100% transparent communication between captain and crew to passengers, on page 119 it says specifically, “He

The Titanic’s maiden voyage was disastrous because the beautiful ship sank and many people died. One of the largest flaws of the Titanic’s design is that it was too big and not nimble enough to avoid the iceberg. In addition to the nimbility of the ship, some of the rivets were improperly manufactured and contained a lot of slag in the steel, which makes it more fracture prone.

The catastrophic sinking of the Titanic, over one hundred years ago, continues to drive scientists to search for answers. Was this simply an unfortunate maritime disaster, or did human error play a role in Titanic’s demise? Bruce Ismay, president of White Star Lines, had a dream. A dream, to build a magnificent luxury liner that would transport people across the Atlantic Ocean in style. With the help of the owner, John Pierpont, and ship designer Thomas Andrew Jr., the ship of dreams was soon a reality. However, Titanic’s maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, from Southampton, England to New York, made history in an inconceivable way. Sadly, over one thousand innocent people went to a watery grave in the middle of the cold, dark, Atlantic Ocean.

On the morning of April 15th, 1912, 1,503 people died. Amongst these 1,503 people was a 31-year-old Swedish man by the name of Johan Henrik Johannesson Kvillner. This man, like many others, died in one of the most well-known tragedies in the history of mankind: the shocking sinking of the great R.M.S. Titanic, a ship deemed “unsinkable”. The Titanic struck an iceberg after being warned of an ice field in the direction that they were travelling. Kvillner went down with the ship, assumingly like a gentleman, after being denied access to one of the lifeboats

In this article, Robert Gannon examines several flaws that were found decades after the Titanic’s tragic maiden voyage in an attempt to provide answers to the age-old question that titles his article, “What Really Sank the Titanic?”. Gannon begins the article by explaining various details of the well-known story of the Titanic’s trip in April of 1912. The readers are reminded that the massive vessel was considered unsinkable and disaster-proof prior to its first trip at sea. After crashing into a large iceberg, a few of the hull’s compartments were destroyed and the ship quickly began to take on water. The entire vessel sank in three short hours, and the exact causes of the disaster are still not fully understood.

The, Titanic was one of the most high-powered, largest ships of its time. The Titanic could go as fast as 20 knots or more. Which can be a big problem, being such a big as it was. The Titanic was on its way, not knowing what will come in its path. Having something so deeply built and putting so much effort and trust in something, does not always go the right way you want it to go

CAT: Why did so many people lose their lives on the Titanic? The “unsinkable” RMS Titanic is perhaps the most famous ships ever to have sailed, and disastrously sink, carrying a hefty 2,224 passengers: 325 first class, 285 second class, 706 third class and 908 crew, of which over half died. At the time, it was a colossal achievement: the largest man-made object on Earth, a ship so new the paint was still wet in some spots. Thousands flocked to wave goodbye to the unknowingly flawed “Ship of Dreams” captained by Captain Smith the “Millionaire’s Captain” when it embarked on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, 2nd April 1912, carrying some of the wealthiest people in the world.

The Titanic was a tragedy that shocked the world as the Titanic was thought to be unsinkable. The Titanic was British luxury ocean liner, thought to be unsinkable, which nevertheless sank on its first voyage in 1912 after running into an iceberg in the north Atlantic Ocean. The “Icebergs loomed up and fell astern and we never slackened. It was an anxious time with the Titanic's fateful experience very close in our minds”

Thomas Andrews designed the Titanic, and he had also approved it for he was a well-known shipbuilder. Before the sinking, the Titanic had started to take test runs. The test runs had gone great there were no signs that something might’ve been wrong with the ship so there was nothing to worry about except weather. The design of the titanic and the approving of it were so important because if the Titanic design was never approved then it would’ve never been out at sea. If the test runs wouldn’t have gone good then it wouldn’t have been at sea either. I believe that the captain was a little careless because considering the iceberg it hit was so big he could’ve seen it and stopped way before hitting it. The Titanic is still being talked about today because over 1,500 people were killed in its sinking. Because of the Titanic’s sinking people have found ways to help prevent anything as major as that sinking. People have invented different safety items on ships, and have made ships have more lifeboats. The second, third, and some first class people were not saved. The only ones saved were most part of the first class riders. The Titanic affected many families, for their relatives were the ones killed on the ship. There were many technological advances to prevent this again

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

The construction of the RMS Titanic started on March 31, 1909 in Belfast, North Ireland and cost $7.5 million. The man who designed it was a naval architect named Thomas Andrews. The ship was built to be the world’s largest passenger steamship, along with two other ships, the Olympic and Britanic. Although the ship has always been known to many as unsinkable, it was actually never supposed to be advertised like that. Extra measures were put into the ship to insure safety, for example, if four watertight compartments out of the 16 were flooded, the ship would still stay afloat. Even though all these precautions were made, who would have ever thought that a single iceberg could cause such a huge devastation.
