The British luxury passenger ship, The Titanic, set sail on April 10, 1912, en route to New York City from Southampton (Lord ch 1). During her maiden voyage, midnight of April 15, 1912, she began to sink (ch 1). The Titanic had a collision with an iceberg that was around 100 feet tall (“Titanic: 40 Fascinating Facts” 3). Regardless to how greatly manufactured the Titanic was, and with beliefs that she was unsinkable, the miscalculation of human error proves that every possible outcome cannot be prevented, disasters can still occur regardless of careful planning.

-How did most people on the Titanic not realize anything unusual or important had happened?

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

There were only enough lifeboats for half of the passengers and were not filled to captivity when

The Titanic left a huge mark in history, even people today still have questions about what happened. The Titanic’s maiden voyage was on, Wednesday, April 10, 1912. It was such a remarkable ship, even under the water Robert Ballard was impressed about it’s details. On April 14, 1912, the Titanic received a total of seven iceberg warnings in one day total. This tragedy was so huge Robert Ballard said “The loss of the Titanic was as saddening to the people of the at time as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was to a later time . Something seemed lost forever. People’s view of the world is shaken up because of such tragedies The most recent example is the loss of the space shuttle Challenger. As with the Titanic too much confidence

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.

Do you know what happened on April 14-15, 1912? The sinking of the most famous ship known to man. On April 15 the “unsinkable ship” sank in the Atlantic ocean. It was very tragic because over 1,000 people died. But, it was easily preventable. If only they had enough lifeboats for everybody.

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

As a result of sending distress calls, many ships got calls for help and changed where they were going to come to the rescue. Finally, as ship comes, which was the RMS Carpathia and survivors boarded the Carpathia to safety. After all the survivors were aboard, the Carpathia and speeded to New York and got there on April 18th. Approximately only 705 people of about the 2,204 passengers survived. The Titanic was one of the most harrowing sinking of any other ship with the most casualties.

The Titanic was traveling to New York from Southampton, England, when more than 1,500 people lost their lives when the ship struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912, while 700 people survived, which includes Holverson’s wife,

The Titanic originated from Greek mythology which meant gigantic, The Titanic's construction derived in Belfast, Ireland, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (which it was then known,) and there was an estimate of 2,224 passengers and crew members aboard the ship. The Titanic was and still is to this day a tragedy, On April 15, 1912, at 11:40 it hit an iceberg which led to the ship sinking, it took about two hours to sink to the bottom of the ocean, and more than 1.500 people had died. The Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people, which was not sufficient for everyone on board as The Titanic carried 2,224 people.

The horrors that unfolded on that fateful day will forever haunt my dreams. Only 705 people made it out alive during 140 minutes after the Achilles heel of the mighty ship was struck (Welsh 5). I, Cyrus Cromwell, have survived the tragedy of the unsinkable ship known as the Titanic.
