The Unsinkable Titanic : An Accident Or A Scam?

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.

Everyone has heard about the sinking of the Titanic. Lots of people have seen the movie, and even though the movie does not give specific information, it gives an idea of what happened that day. Researching the event of Titanic sinking is heartbreaking since so many people died. Because the sinking happened so long ago, about 104 years, it is starting to become irrelevant. People should still remember the people who passed away and what occurred on the event. After all, what occurred on 9/11 is still highly brought up and recognized every year and half the amount of people died on the Titanic and is hardly mentioned anymore. The Titanic sinking is an event that doesn’t even seem like a real event to many people. Schools should teach more about the Titanic in history class because it is a real event that happened, and completely opposite from the fake love story everyone has heard of. There is some evidence that the Titanic and another ship, the Olympic, were switched, but there is proof that the boat was indeed the Titanic. Neither the boat nor the people were switched, unfortunately, so the people who were on the boat, did pass away. The theory of the Titanic being switched with the Olympic has been debated quite a bit, but the ships were not switched.

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.

“Jim and Jack come in the living room please” Calls my mum. Me and Jim walk down the steps and walk into the living room to find our mum and dad with four first class tickets to the RMS Titanic! Me and Jim jump up and down with excitement. I ask why, and my dad tells me for my birthday. I get really excited because we get to go to America on one of the best ships in the world! I ask when are we leaving, My dad tells me to look at the card. So I do. It says April 9th, 1912. I yell, that’s tomorrow! “Pack your bags Jim and Jack, we don’t want to forget anything,” my mum says. Jim and I head back upstairs and get 2 large suitcases. I pack a ton of clothes, (warm clothes) pillow, cards, and my stuffed teddy. I do have a little fear of water but, when I read the newspaper, it said it was unsinkable, so I am not that worried about it.

On April 10th, 1912 the RMS Titanic set out on it’s maiden voyage across the Atlantic ocean. But tragedy fell upon the glorious ship when the titanic struck an iceberg and sank, or so people think it was the actual Titanic. Today conspiracies have arisen as to whether the Titanic was the actual Titanic or it was the Titanic’s sister ship the RMS Olympic. Today so many pieces of evidence prove that it was in fact the Olympic. I feel that the Titanic that sailed on April 10th, 1912 was actually the Olympic. The Evidence

The Titanic was one of the largest ships that has ever been made. On its first voyage, the Titanic quickly ceased after encountering an iceberg. In the poem, “Titanic”, David R. Slavitt gives a brief description of the Titanic and how the world has remembered the legend. In a different poem, “The Convergence of the Twain”, Thomas Hardy illustrates the impact an Immanent Will had on the crashing of the Titanic. Both, Slavitt and Hardy challenge the views that people have on the legend of the Titanic by applying tone as well as creating a duality of expectations and reality.

Throughout the years, people have developed a distorted perspective of the legend of the Titanic. The once defined “Unsinkable Ship” was a ship full of flaws, although it was viewed as flawless. As proposed by Hardy, the tragedy happened by fate; however, as suggested by Slavitt, it could have been prevented. While Hardy uses romanticized imagery and Slavitt uses sarcastic word choice, both authors choose their words to establish the tone, and they use theme to convey their ideas in order to challenge the views people have of the

The RMS Titanic is a passenger liner that sunk in the North Atlantic in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. About 1,500 of the estimated 2,224 passengers died. The ship sailed full speed despite ice warnings, preventing it from stopping or steering away from the berg. Watertight compartments flooded, causing Titanic to go under. These details are supported by accounts and physical evidence, and therefore, widely accepted as truth. However, there's a few alternative conspiracy and architectural theories.

All people believe there are many ways the Titanic sank, but I believe that nature sunk the Titanic. Nature can be so harsh but yet so beautiful. In this case nature was harsh on the Titanic. Nature is the cause to blame because of Earth’s nearness to the Moon and the Sun and the refraction of light.

“...more than 1,500 lost their lives in the disaster” (“Titanic”), on April 15, 1912. The Titanic was the largest ship in history at the time and was believed to be unsinkable. The ship had the most advanced technology during her time, which caused society to believed she was “unsinkable”It marked a line in history that day for the whole world. Even though the disaster was dreadful the event inspired people to create films, books, and articles about it. The Titanic was a magnificent ship but the construction, the disaster and the safety precautions changed to world greatly.

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.

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.

Was the demise of the Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship, actually caused by an iceberg? People have been told for centuries that the Titanic’s catastrophic sinking was caused by the ship hitting an iceberg. Hundreds of movies have been made and thousands of articles and books have been written about the infamous sinking. However, the cause of the sinking is very different than most people have been told all along. The Titanic, which was regarded as unsinkable, was the largest ship of its time. The ship was owned by the White Star Line, and departed from Southampton England on April 10 1912, scheduled to bring its 2224 passengers to New York. In the early hours of April 15 1912, the ship sank, killing 1500 people. Most historians believe that

My professor, Dr. Haddock, once said, “Failure is not an Option… It’s a Requirement”. Throughout the history of mankind there has been evidence of this. In life there will always be failures that will come one’s way; although, from those failures one can learn and prevent it from ever happening again. Even when one’s plan seems full proof, there will always be a chance of the plan going haywire. There was once a so called, “unsinkable” vessel that set off upon a voyage to be an ideal ship; although, from history lessons and stories of horrible disaster they beg to differ. The Titanic was thought to be impossible to sink, magnificently engineered, and because of this disaster engineers dissects what went wrong learning from this tragedy.

The Titanic, the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era, named the "ship of dreams". This legendary ship was known to be unsinkable, until April 15 1912. It is commonly believed that this “unsinkable” ship hit an iceberg that night and sank in the northern atlantic. But how is this possible? On a night with perfect weather and prior warning about the dangers of ice ahead? Maybe this isn't what happened. Maybe it wasn't the titanic that sank, maybe it was its sister ship the olympic.
