The Sinking Of The Titanic

HISTORY keeps an accurate account of all historical events, including the Titanic, which include much of the known History of the titanic. The RMS Titanic was equipped to carry a 3,547 people at full capacity, which would have included all passengers and crew aboard. With a high passenger capacity, the RMS Titanic was equipped to carry 64 lifeboats, each lifeboat was able to carry 65 people. Since the Titanic was made of steel the architects had believed the

During the years of 1909 to 1912 the Titanic was being constructed and was launched in Belfast, United Kingdom. “I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that.” Captain Edward Smith. The Titanic impacted American history through manufacturing ships stronger and the International Ice Patrol.

on its maiden voyage in 1912 the British ocean liner titanic sank after ramming an iceberg in the north atlantic ocean. the nearest ship the California did not get the SOS message because the radio operator had gone to bed and turned off his radio. the titanics captain Edward j smith knew that there were only enough lifeboats for half the 2100 people on board in the panic even those were not filled. seventeen year old jack Thayer from Philadelphia was not lucky enough to get into a lifeboat but as the titanic slid into the water, he dived from its deck into the ice waters coming upon an overturned lifeboat he hung on until the carpathian came to his rescue at dawn more than 1500 other people were not so

A major factor in why the shipmates died was the ship’s conditions, the lack of

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.

No one slept for three days, everyone on board assisting in keeping the boat upright. By September 11, George Ashby told the captain the obvious fact that we were taking on water. Many more labourers were sent down to fuel the boat as we tried to regain control but it did little to help. Water was slowly rising and all non-fuel workers were told to start bucketing out water. The cold sea continued to engulf our previously sturdy ship.

How they died has to do with how the ship sank and the conditions in the water. The

And even though they probably had an boat, it looked like they had complications. If there boat had complications it failed, and that means that they would have to swim and they would probably get hypothermia. So they probably died from

Unfortunately the storm was getting rougher and night was creeping in. So they tried to sail, but then then mast broke and the sail fell overboard. The men had nothing left

It is common knowledge that the Titanic struck an iceberg, but what is less considered is the fact that the ship need not have sunk at all. On the last night of the Titanic’s voyage, her radio operator received a transmission from the Californian warning about icebergs, but the operator payed no attention. Moreover, the Caronia also warned the Titanic’s captain about icebergs and field ice before this.

But its real heroes were often among the crew, none more stirring than Second Officer Herbert Lightoller, who had survived one shipwreck and a cyclone before getting his position on the Titanic. He had gone off watch when the ship struck the iceberg but was the most energetic and resourceful in getting as many women and children as he could into the boats, which he knew very well would only have room for around half of the passengers and crew even when fully loaded (and many weren't). Told at the end to get in one himself, his reply, without irony, was "not on your life." Attempting to make the last "collapsible" lifeboat usable, the rush of water swept him away. The force of an engine explosion brought him back to the surface, where he managed to struggle to the capsized collapsible to which 30 men were desperately hanging.

With the seafloor scanned and analyzed we can now find out what really happened here when Titanic went down under water, to retrace on how she possibly sank. Titanic made this two mile descent to the bottom of the ocean and the way the debris is spread around the ship gives us clues on how she went down to the bottom. The over size of the debris field is a key clue on how Titanic hit the seafloor, how fast and how she impacted the floor. Evidence over the years have given us answers to questions we have had for years and the debris field itself gives us clues of what happened below the ocean.

I have been fascinated by the history of the Titanic for as long as I can remember.
