Titanic Research Paper

On April 30, 1907, Bruce Ismay and William James Pirrie had an idea to build a ship, the Titanic. “Harland and Wolff of Belfast, Ireland built the ship,” (United States). Within a few days short of five years, the Titanic was then ready to set sail from Belfast to Southampton. There were 2,223 passengers on board making their way to a better life. The Titanic made it to Southampton the next day, and then set sail for New York. The Titanic gave many people a chance to start a new life in America, and it was known as “The Ship of Dreams”. The ship consisted of millionaires all the way down to immigrants. This dream ship was also said to be unsinkable, however, this story is something that literally went down in history. Many sources state that the cause of the Titanic’s demise on April 14, 1912, was due to a variety of causes such as, the way the rivets were placed, the airtight rooms were not airtight, there were not enough lifeboats for the number of passengers present, Captain Smith avoided iceberg warnings, and the weather that night was a major problem altogether. Each of these played a key role in the tragic downfall of the White Star Liner ship, the Titanic, but the rivets and construction of the ship were the main issues at fault.

Transition: Now that I have discussed the titanic itself, let’s take a look at the tragedy that struck it on its’ maiden voyage.

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

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.

While on the voyage from Queenstown to where the Titanic sank the last day before it struck the iceberg, the radio room received a total of seven iceberg warnings, three the captain did not read, or know of. One was not posted on the billboard because Harold Bride, did not have the time to run up to the ship’s operators. The other iceberg iceberg warning the radio operators received was brushed off because Jack and Harold were both tired. The third the captain did not see because he was at a dinner party being held for

There was a mix of all the social classes; from people who were sleeping in cabinets, with five to six other passengers, to those who didn't even know what cabinets were, and had their own private room. Just out of first class, the ship was carrying six million dollars’ worth of valuable people. There were 324 passengers in first class, 284 in second, 709 in third, and 107 children aboard. The captain of the legend was Edward John Smith, who went down with his ship on the night of the sinking. The crew count had 908 people, but only 212 had survived (making the death rate

Do you know what happened on April 14-15, 1912? The sinking of the most famous ship known to man. On April 15 the “unsinkable ship” sank in the Atlantic ocean. It was very tragic because over 1,000 people died. But, it was easily preventable. If only they had enough lifeboats for everybody.

The Titanic originated from Greek mythology which meant gigantic, The Titanic's construction derived in Belfast, Ireland, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (which it was then known,) and there was an estimate of 2,224 passengers and crew members aboard the ship. The Titanic was and still is to this day a tragedy, On April 15, 1912, at 11:40 it hit an iceberg which led to the ship sinking, it took about two hours to sink to the bottom of the ocean, and more than 1.500 people had died. The Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people, which was not sufficient for everyone on board as The Titanic carried 2,224 people.

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

It was a disaster that stunned the world, for the ship was thought of as “unsinkable”. An eyewitness says, “I have been on the ocean most of my life, and I have never seen the water as smooth as it was that night”. Many passengers were involved, as were the crew of the ship, when the Titanic hit an iceberg that was around 50 to 100 feet high, and 200 to 400 feet long. The Titanic hit the iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean on April 14, 1912. The ship had completely sank into the North Atlantic ocean at about 2:20 AM on April 15, 1912. When the Titanic design was approved, the Titanic began taking test runs, A little while later the Titanic started its voyage, About three or four days later iceberg warnings were sent out, an iceberg had hit

On April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 am the time of the sad luxurious ocean liner, The Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean because it hit an iceberg 100 feet high and 400 feet long. There were 2208 innocent people on the colossal ship when it sunk.

After the completion of the Titanic, it was sent from Belfast to Southampton, England for its maiden voyage across the Atlantic. It set sail on April 10, 1912, with 2223 passengers (RMST) and 907 crew members (TT). Captain Edward J. Smith was the first and last man to steer the Titanic. He set the speed to 22 knots and the Titanic began her pivotal journey (AGS). There were many people from many different backgrounds who made that fateful voyage; among those people were thirteen couples had been on board for their honeymoon. There was also countless others who had traveled on the Titanic’s first journey, some of them survived the sinking while others weren’t that lucky. The story of how the Titanic began, and her first voyage will forever remain a large part of the history of transatlantic voyages.

The ship set sail on April 10, 1912 from Southampton, England and on its way to New York. The total passengers were around 2,200 people, including a crew of around 900. The passengers were divided into certain classes depending on what kind of ticket they paid for, with first class being the most

The two main character of the movie are Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater. Leonardo DiCaprio plays as Jack and Kate Winslet plays as Rose. Jack who is a poor homeless man from Wisconsin he has travelled lots of places. He wins two ticked to the unsinkable ship The Titanic in a poker game. He travels in the third class passenger with his friend. Rose is a seventeen year old girl who is forced to marry so she and her mother can maintain a higher status after the death of her father. The director of the movie James Cameron is an amazing person. The reason I say that is because he took an actual tragic event and combined it with the tragic love story which he knew this is something that audience will love. The movie actually gives people an idea about how the actual Titanic was hit and sink. Not just an idea the movie teaches about the Titanic the unsinkable ship by giving them the visual of how it was sink. When you are watching this movie it is very hard not to cry. Rose is tired of her life been stuck around all the rich people and when she meets Jacks, he talks her out of jumping off the back of ship. When they first meet viewers can tell that eventually they will fall four each other. They meet in secret night and day as they were frowned by the rich people. There was nothing stopping them from meeting to each other as they show that love wins. When watching the movie some people can also relate to their personal life story to on how
