The tip of the iceberg. Thats what brought down the greatest ship of its day. It’s the reason 1,500

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

At the time, the ship was the biggest existence of the ship and the largest movable object ever built. Owned by the White Star Line, one of a number of shipping companies who transported people across the Atlantic, was designed to be the flagship of their fleet. Captained by Edward J. Smith, the Titanic was believed to be completely unsinkable. On April 10th, 1912, the Titanic set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic destined to New York. Aboard were 2,200 passengers and

(Attention material) Morgan Robertson wrote a book called The Wreck of the Titan. It was about a so called “unsinkable” ship named the Titan that set sail from England to New York. There were many rich and famous passengers on board. On its journey, the Titan hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean and sunk. Because of the lack of lifeboats, many people died. If this sounds familiar, get this. The Wreck of the Titan was written 14 years before the Titanic sank.

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

Building the Titanic took around 26 months to finish. The building began March 11, 1909 and by May 11, 1911 the Titanic was launched in the Victoria Channel. A total of 246 injuries and two deaths resulted from the building of the Titanic. The amount of injuries and deaths were low around that time. The massive ship was built to beat their rival Cunard. Harland and Wollf were the shipbuilders, where they chose Thomas Andrews as the architect of the Titanic. He decided to design the ship to be unsinkable by having sixteen different water compartments separated by watertight bulkheads, twenty-nine boilers to power the ship, and had two steam engines. The ship was thought to stay afloat even if four compartments were ruptured. April 10, 1912 the forty-five story high ship set sail. Luxury was the main feature of the Titanic

The “unsinkable” Titanic’s maiden voyage was a disaster because she split in two from crashing into an iceberg. 1,517 people died from the horrible tragedy, only 706 people survived.

"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.

Passengers relied on science and industry to keep them afloat. When the crew went from room to room throwing life jackets at passengers and ordering them to put them on, this was considered as just a precaution. Some passengers asked to have tea ready for them when the return to their rooms. When people could see the Titanic was sinking, still there was no alarm.

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.

A. The Titanic was thought to be the largest, safest, most luxurious ship ever built.

According to Geoff Tibbals, in his 1997 book The Titanic: The extraordinary story of the “unsinkable” ship, the Titanic was 882 feet long and weighed about 46,000 tons.

In the early 1900s ocean liners were a lucrative business. Carrying passengers across the vast ocean was the most efficient way to travel. White Star Lines had to find a way to lure passengers away from their competitor, Cunard Lines (Encyclopedia Britannica). They decided to build bigger ocean liners, which focused on comfort, as opposed to speed. The Titanic’s hull was designed to withstand a breech in four of its watertight compartments; this made many believe that the ship was unsinkable. Sadly, for those on the ship, this couldn’t be further

Titanic ship was the largest ship in the world in 1909. The first journey was taking a place from Northampton in England to New York in the U.S. Therefore, the disaster killed more than 1,500 people due to crash the glassier in the North Atlantic. However, the solution, adding walls in keen to reserve water entering into the ship in case of there is of water leaking and support water pumps to pump the water out of the ship.

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.
