Titanic

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.

“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

James Cameron directed and co-produced Titanic in 1997. It is one of the epic tragical-romantic films of all time. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jack Dawson (hero) and Kate Winslet plays Rose DeWitt Bukater (heroine). Titanic tells the evergreen love story of Rose and Jack. Rose is a first class passenger, but her family is going through financial crises which her mother Ruth is trying to resolve and retain their weakening high-class status through her marriage with Cal Hockley, her fiancé. Agitated over this marriage she attempts suicide by jumping off the stern of the ship. Jack, a poor painter, discourages her from suicide and saves her life. This is a pivotal scene where an epic romance begins. The acting, setting, and lighting play

Prior to watching The Titanic, I had heard a lot about the strenuous journeys those traveling on the voyage underwent. I have never fully watched the movie; therefore, I was unaware of how difficult of an expedition it truly was. The beginning of the movie shows the pleasant and lavish lives that many people experience. While there are different classes of guests on the vessel, most people were able to enjoy themselves and the amentities aboard the majestic ship. As the movie progressed the passengers, however, on the ship found themselves in a fatal situation: the ship had hit an iceberg and began to sink. I was extremely surprised to discover that the ship did not have enough lifeboats to accommodate every passenger, not even half at that. I found the mal preparation for such a grand ship to be a huge shock. I could not believe the owner of the ship would choose having a “less crowded deck” over the safety of its passengers. This atrocity altered my movie-watching exprience, for I knew what was in store. All of the dead bodies floating in the ocean while the staff were looking to fill the lifeboats influenced me greatly because I could not help but think: if the ship had more lifeboats would there be more survivors today? As I saw the deceased families and even children, I couldn't help but think, had the ship had more lifeboats could those people still be living today? Could there have been less fatalities? It is a depressing thought, yet I was appalled by the lack of planning.

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.

During the time of her construction, Titanic was the largest, grandest, safest, and most technologically advanced ship during her time. Her designers and engineers set out to build a class of ocean liners that could compete against White Star Line’s rival company, Cunard. However, when Titanic, the second of her sister ships sunk on her maiden voyage, it shook the world and it had a major impact on the world and its people. One of the main effects was the effect on safety regulations. Titanic only carried enough lifeboats to sustain roughly half of the passengers and crew on board. At the time, Titanic actually exceeded the amount of the lifeboats required by the British Board of Trade regulations by 10 percent.

The Titanic may be one of the most famous and well known shipwrecks of our time. Just about everyone learns of the tragedy in school and how it was a complete accident. Information has been found that point to the tragedy not being what we think it is. There is evidence that shows that the ship thought to be the Titanic may actually be named the Olympic, and may have been used in an insurance scam. This evidence includes pictures showing different amounts of port holes and even people working on the ship coming forward. It has yet to be proven if this is 100% true, but most would agree that all of this points to it being true.

The Titanic had one trip to do but during that trip a iceberg cut the ship on the side.

The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most infamous shipwrecks in history in 1912. The Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg, killing over 1,500 passengers and crew. There were many passengers and crew who died from the sinking of the Titanic because there were not enough lifeboats provided for them. The problem about Titanic survival is how can we make a better prediction rate for the sort of the passengers that were likely to survive?

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

On April 14,1912 a great ship called the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. That night there were many warnings of icebergs from other ships. There seems to be a conflict on whether or not the warnings reached the bridge. We may never know the answer to this question. The greatest tragedy of all may be that there were not

Titanic portrayed sexuality with attraction between a man and a woman. Rose was a beautiful woman whom her fiancée Hockley was the son of a rich and powerful steel mill owner. However, the sexual interest here was actually in the form of business. Rose was marrying him because of the money Hockley would inherit when his father died, a very prominent practice during that time. Men with power and money were shown to be desirable from all of Rose 's companions on the ship. This common theme of sexuality was broken from Jack 's introduction into Rose 's life. Jack was a polar opposite of Hockley, and he took on a different theme of sexuality of being free, seeing a woman as an equal, and not being rich. Jack ' sexuality was expressed in may forms different from Hockley. When he saved Rose from falling overboard, in his folk-style dancing with Rose, and in his chase of Rose which included kissing and having sex with her. Jack’s simple flirtation with Rose and his later aid in her freedom from the gender binds she was in became the cornerstone of the theme of the movie.

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.
