How Is The Titanic Relevant To Today

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 date was April 14th, 1912. The location was a calm and flat Atlantic Ocean. The air was cold and windless. The time was approaching midnight. The ship was the RMS Titanic, one of the largest and most luxurious ocean liners ever built. The lookout was Frederick Fleet and his furtive words to be forever remembered were, "Iceberg, Right ahead!"

My favorite history experience has to do with the movie called “The Titanic.” Not just the movie but the actual event happening. I wish I could have been there and survived the experience to be able to tell the amazing, life changing story. The movie and the actual sinking of the ship affected me in many ways. I think it also affected the way we make our boats today. When I seen this movie and realized not only how much the world has changed since the titanic happened, but the way we think and how we build things differently.

Drain the ocean to revill lost ships, the Titanic. What happened here, what went wrong? Why did the stern of the ship tore apart when the bow of the ship looks fine but damaged by impact on the seafloor. Since the bow of the ship was aerodynamic it sliced through the water and impacted the seafloor while the stern of the ship tore apart. Titanic is a relic in the ocean on the seafloor. The wreck site of the two halfs of the ship gives us information, details, and data of how, when, and why it hit the seafloor the way it did. Evidence of the wreck site is giving us data of what really happened and how this happened. We know that when the stern tilted up out of the water as she sank, it is believed that this created immense stress tearing the ship completely in two.

Cole 1 ~Intro~ Did you know that the fourth smokestack on the Titanic was fake, and that is was made just for looks? Thomas Andrews, the Titanic’s architect, thought instead of having three smokestacks that having four would raise public interest. But when the Titanic was sinking, the fake smokestack fell on people and instantly killed them. The Titanic was made for luxury and had succeeded but all of the effort was wasted when all of the items became dead weight at the bottom of the sea. All the work and effort was lost when the Titanic struck the iceberg.

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.

Would you want to raise the Titanic and preserve it or let it rust till it's dust. I am one who wants to raise this historical place and preserve it. Raising the Titanic and rebuilding it into a floating museum would be an educational, and help others take in how massive it was. But everything has something that could be bad and have a terrible consequences. Raising the Titanic could be dangerous and it could collapse. The family, of the passengers that boarded the Titanic, could be given back the belongings that rightfully belong to them.

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

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

Overall, To what extent did the sinking of the Titanic influence the cruise industry? Major safety changes were enrolled in newer boats. Things such as a lifeboat to passenger ratio was used. Organization skills were implemented into crew training. Communication skills were updated for a more productive use. The Radio Acts after the Titanic called for a person to control the radio receiver at all times. Structural changes were made in order to withstand harsh circumstances and can survive a long time in spite of an emergency. Out of the three main changes in the cruise industry due to the sinking of the Titanic, structural changes seem to be the most productive and important. It allows the crew and passengers to not have to rely on communication

The cruise line industry has seen a substantial amount of growth in the last fifty years. Several global forces have contributed to this growth. There are two types of global forces: controllable and uncontrollable (Ball, Geringer, Minor, & McNett, 2010). Uncontrollable forces, also known as external forces, are

Luxury cruise ships have a fascinating and colorful history. The industry of “pleasure cruises” began in the year 1867, as people discovered how enjoyable leisurely, elegant ocean travel could be. As the years passed, cruise ships became more and more receptive to the needs of their usually wealthy passengers, and became floating palaces, lavishly decorated and serving only the finest food and drink. The stately cruise ships portrayed in movies such as the Titantic are not figments of the imagination dreamed up by a Hollywood screenwriter, but can actually give us a feel for the amenities and impressive styling common for those times when traveling by ship. During this period, aptly coined the “golden age of ocean liners” cruise ship travel was quite popular; with the New York to London route one of the most popular voyages.

During the recent economic contraction, the cruise industry has been continually changing with more carriers purchasing larger ships. This is part of an effort to offer better amenities when attracting upscale cliental. However, the industry has become more competitive and the total number of players has increased exponentially.

In keeping with the image they were creating for the new firm, they were planning a ship they could be proud of, one that had unique features and warmth in its design. “I wanted a ship I would want to sail on as a luxury consumer,” Rodney recalls. Working with renowned designer Robert Tillberg as the leader of the design team, plans emerged for a ship that would help the new firm to redefine luxury cruising. At 50,000 gross tons and carrying just 960 passengers, it would have one of the industry’s highest space ratios. Princess had introduced the broad use of private verandahs with a quarter of the Royal Princess’ cabins, followed by thirty-eight percent on the mv Royal Viking Sun. Crystal would take it a step further with fifty-four

Equally important from, ships from their basic uses in the past that will evolved in time. For instance in the 1800’s to 1900’s by this time there were steam boats, as well for using coal, many factors were infused to make an massive ocean liner, but as recreational tourism was starting. Through trials and errors came the first cruise ship called Prinzessin Victoria Luise. According Cruise History, “Build for the Hamburg America Line, she launched on June 29, 1900… with cruise targeted wealthy travelers the Victoria was designed to look like more a private yacht...” (Cruise History). This would lead to cruise ships like the Titanic, Norwegian cruise ships that strived for pristine luxurious services for their guest supplying a recreational dram as well for obtaining profit. In delving in the history of the use of boats to the use of passage, traveling goods, as well for wars aspect to more recreational tourism.
