The World War

The luxury steamship RMS Titanic was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners that were owned and operated by the White Star Line. The White Star Line company commissioned the building of the RMS Titanic to Harland and Wolff shipyard on the Queen’s Island in Belfast, Ireland. Harland and Wolff shipyard were commissioned to build the largest ship at the time. Measuring in at 269.1 meters the titanic was the largest ship built at the time, as well as it was the longest it was also the most expensive. $7,500,000 was the cost The White Star Line paid for the RMS Titanic to be constructed and completely furnished.

The Titanic set sail on its Maiden voyage from Southampton, England on the day of April 10th 1912 (“Titanic”). As people waved goodbye to their loved ones from the docks no one could have imagined that the ship was destined for the ill fate that took so many lives.

When the Titanic was finally launched on May 31, 1911. Bruce Ismay was the chairman of the White Star Line company and Thomas Andrews was the one who designed the Titanic. It started its construction at Harland and Wolff shipyard on May 31, 1909. People thought that the ship was known as “unsinkable” because they believed that they used the most advanced technology of its time in order to make this most magnificent ship built of its time. The company did not claim that the Titanic is “unsinkable”, people just claimed that the ship is unsinkable but it shocked people around the world when the “unsinkable” ship actually sank with hundreds of innocent passengers. However, It was also thought to be the largest man

"Come see the unsinkable ship!” the townspeople cried out. They were, of course, talking about the White Star Line’s newest vessel, the Titanic. At eight hundred eighty-three feet long and ninety-two feet wide, the Titanic’s first voyage was packed full, starboard to port, with two thousand, two hundred, twenty-eight people on board. There were three hundred thirty-seven people in first class, two hundred eighty-five in second class, seven hundred twenty-one people in third class, and eight hundred eighty-five crew members. Even without the people, the Titanic weighed 46,328 tons. The vessel was one hundred and four feet in height and had twenty lifeboats. The architect, Thomas Andrews, was aboard the ship during its first and last catastrophic trans-Atlantic voyage.

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.

With it being 882 feet long and 175 feet high, weighing 46,000 tons, it is considered one of the largest ships in the world. It had a sister ship called the Olympic which wasn’t as big as the Titanic, but it was pretty big. It was also supposed to have another sister ship made as soon as the Titanic had been on a few voyages, but that never happened. The Olympic and Titanic’s designer was

After countless other successful designs, Brunels dream was to build the largest ship in the world that could carry enough coal for its whole journey, while also carrying 4,000 passengers. Before the construction of this mega ship, Brunel had success in previous designs such as some of the largest bridges in the world at that current time and also designed many of the railroads in England in the 1800’s. Brunels intended to double the length of the world's longest ships hull ( roughly 350 feet ). This meant Brunels ships hull was roughly 700 feet long. There was circulation around whether Brunels ship would actually be able to hold its own weight and many believed it was too heavy to float as it was carrying large amounts of coal and people.

World War One was a time of devastation for Europe. Many factors lead to great tensions in Europe, sparking the desideratum for a war. This war, other sagacious ken as 'The Great War', occurred in 1914 until 1918. It had many famous battles, such as The Battle of Tannenberg, a battle of many casualties, especially for the Russia. The war was mainly fought between the members of the Triple Alliance and the members of The Triple Entente. Eventually, countries such as the USA joined in. Rivalries between countries, arguments over imperia, and an arms race are the causes of the European tensions that lead to the war. A cause thought to of sparked the war was the shooting of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, next in line to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by a Serbian terrorist in Bosnia. This caused World War 1.

In the effort of the competition, the White Star Line came up with an idea of creating a massive, luxurious ship that would later be given the name “The Royal Mail Steamer Titanic,” or “Titanic” for short and as it is well known today. The main goal of this ship was to establish a primary ship for the traveling to and from the United States in an extravagant style for the most well-paying passengers among their cruise line. This was made known to the public through the pride the Titanic had earned it’s fleet, for it was the largest moving man made object ever recorded before the year 1912 (“Titanic's Safety Features”). She, the Titanic, was measured to be eight-hundred and eighty-two feet and nine inches just in length, ninety-two feet and six inches in width (or beam) of the ship, and one-hundred and seventy-five feet tall with nine decks on the ship (Source 9). This massive ship was created in just two years, starting in 1909 and finishing in 1911, making it possible for her to make her maiden and final voyage in 1912, give or take a year for test runs and sea trials in Ireland. From there, the design was a perfect one that would win the White Star Line their battle against Cunard, or so they

The R.M.S. Titanic was a very large passenger liner that was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard, between 1909 and 1912. It was the largest ship of its time. It was built alongside the R.M.S. Olympic, which was almost identical to the Titanic. The main purpose of the Titanic was to transport people across the ocean, because planes were not very common.

Titanic is one of the most famous ships in history. It is famous for its size and luxury. With it being 882 feet long and 175 feet high, weighing 46,000 tons, it is considered one of the largest ships in the world. It had a sister ship called the Olympic which wasn’t as big as the Titanic but it was pretty big. It also was supposed to have another sister ship made as soon as the Titanic had been on a few voyages, but that never happened. The Olympic and Titanic’s designer was Thomas Andrews. It took 3,000 workers and over three years to build. It had 400 feet of cables running across the deck will send signals of messages for thousands of miles.

The Titanic set off on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City carrying about 2,200 people on board but just after four days into its journey, the Titanic struck an iceberg and within three hours of its journey it plunged into the depth of the ocean killing over fifteen hundred passengers. Some researchers claim the legendary Titanic may have never sunk at all and was swapped with an identical vessel thus, being one of the biggest insurance scams in history. The real story begins in 1907 when American financier JP Morgan, ordered a new class of ships. The construction of a new class of super liners for his company white star line. The Olympic was the first ship created and looked identical to the Titanic. In 1911 the Olympic collided

Joint intentionalist and structuralists are perhaps even more applicable to the Second World War. The Germans as a whole were embarrassed by not only their loss of the First World War, but also the components of the Versailles Treaty, including, but not limited to the reparations and the territory loss. Before Hitler’s rise to Chancellor in 1933, he published Mein Kampf as a clear plan for the German Reich (Copeland 121). Going along with the intentionalist theory, Mein Kampf once again called for lebensraum for the German nationals, domestic or not, and taking back what they had lost in Versailles (Kershaw 110). Further evidence for German long-term goals is evident by Germany’s withdrawal from the League of Nations and plan for rearmament, showing that they were planning something of which the international community would not approve (Kershaw 116, Copeland 125). Of course, there are also strong structuralist arguments for the outbreak of the war. While Hitler planned for war in different stages, there was not a clear strategy that the Germans were going to take at every given moment. After France’s invasion of the Ruhr Valley to get their reparations, the Germans could see that the British and other Allies were not going to hold them accountable (Copeland Lecture). There was no way that they could foresee this general appeasement, but they definitely put it to their advantage. They used this opportunity to remilitarize the Rhineland and then take the Sudetenland

The SS Nomadic was built as the original tender ship to the Titanic. The last remaining White Star Line vessel can now be visited at the Hamilton Dry Dock. Known as Titanic’s little sister it was constructed and designed with the same craftsmanship as the Titanic. Visitors can admire the

In 1822, the very first cruise line, known as the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company, was founded by Brodie McGhie Willcox and Arthur Anderson, both experienced in the shipping industry. Its first ship was the 206 ton paddle steamer called the William Fawcett, which was first deployed in 1835 from London to Spain and Portugal. More recently, in the 1960’s and early 1970’s, three of the world’s largest cruise lines were established. The first one, Norwegian Cruise Line, was introduced when airline travel was becoming increasingly popular. The cruise industry declined significantly from this competition. The second cruise line, Royal Caribbean International, was also experiencing the same challenges as
