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.

“Mother is this ship really safe and unsinkable?” said Mary Anne Louise to her mom while she started to walk towards the RMS Titanic “I have the same question as the girl… Is this ship really unsinkable?” said a lady known as Mrs.Sylvia Caldwell. “Of course it is unsinkable God himself could not sink this ship!” exclaimed the crew member as he helped her up the steps.After they entered the ship, she stood in amazement see how this ship was designed.She suddenly saw a girl dressed in a simple, pretty white dress and a large bow on the back of her head.She wanted to say hi but her mom wouldn’t let her because she was a lower class than her

The sinking of the Titanic is one most well-known shipwreck in modern day history and it's still being written and told about even a century later. The causation of the sinking has been debated heavily since the crash in 1912 and many so-called experts of the titanic disagree with another on this issue. There has been new development when the ship was discovered in 1985 and examined by experts. Leading people that the sinking was caused by three major turning points. The first being the failures of White Star Line who manufacture the ship starting in 1909. The second being the crew of the ship that had some very serve flaws in the plan of action leading up to the disaster. Lastly the passengers who had enough time to prepare before the

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

On April 14th, 1912, the Titanic set sail and crashed into an iceberg. About 705 passengers were rescued but 1500 died that night by freezing in the waters or sinking with the ship.

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.

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

During the time that the ship was to be built, The White Line Company was fighting for supremacy over another shipping firm, Cunard. The British firm had two top ranking ships in its ranks and The White Line Company wanted to fight this holding and become the best of the best. In their fight to achieve this, J. Bruce Ismay who was the chief executive of White Star, decided to commission 3 new ships to be built that were bigger and more luxurious that any ship built ever before. The Titanic, the second of the ships to be build took two years to complete from the spring 1909 to the spring of 1911. In the following year, the ship was designed interiorly to help make it a luxury ship. In making the ship though, several mistakes were made that lead to the severity of the disaster. For one, the ships haul had water tight chambers that while were watertight, would allow water to move from one compartment to another. The people involved thought that because of the watertight chambers the ship was unsinkable when in fact these chambers did nothing to stop the ship from sinking. In relation to everyone thinking the ship unsinkable, White Star did not put enough safety boats on the vesicle. They thought the ship to be unsinkable so why put enough safety boats to fit everyone (Titanic,

The first voyage of the Titanic was in 1912, it left in Southampton and was supposed to go to New York City. After four days of traveling, the ship crashed into an iceberg before sinking into the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean two hours later. With a total of 2 228 people, including the crew, only half of them survived to the tragedy. It cost 7.5 million $ to built the biggest cruise ship for that time. With one pool, a gymnasium, a Turkish bath, a squash court and five stars restaurants for the first class passengers, the Titanic was the most luxurious ship ever made for the passengers traveling in first class. But it also had is bad sides. There was only two bathtubs for the seven hundred passengers traveling in third class. Most of the passengers traveling in third class were going to America to get a better life, but only a few of them made it because they weren't important enough to get rescued.

The RMS Titanic; A Tragedy Based on Class. In April, 1912, the so called "unsinkable" Titanic set sail to New York. The great ship was as big as five city blocks, and weighed thousands and thousands of tons. Everyone who was everyone grabbed a room on the luxurious ship for the trip of a lifetime.

CAT: Why did so many people lose their lives on the Titanic?

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.

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 Titanic was known as "the unsinkable ship". She was the largest ship afloat at the time of her maiden voyage in April of 1912, during which she collided with an iceberg. She was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. A numerous amount of people believe that the collision that occurred on April 15, 1912 was The Titanic’s sister ship The Olympic, and that the wreckage was premeditated and was used to commit insurance fraud.

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.
