In this document you will be learning about the Titanic. We will be answering the following questions: Was the ship unsinkable? Who was on the ship? Where were they heading it and how long would it have taking for them to get there? What time did it take and how long? And how many people died, and survived. Now let’s take a journey to the sinking of the Titanic! So the first question is; Was the Titanic really unsinkable? Well the answer to that is clearly, no. But instead of just telling no, we will tell you about the size of the ship, what it was made of and how that could affect the tragic events of the Titanic. We will also tell you who was on board the enormous ship. The Titanic was a very large ship! It was 882 feet long with another …show more content…
As we all know the Titanic unsuccessfully made its destination so, let’s figure out where they wanted to go. The Titanic was heading to New York City, unfortunately it did not make it. “The Titanic sank 400 miles (640 kilometres) off the coast of Newfoundland” (Fowler, Dave). The captain’s name is Edward Smith. He died on April 15th, 1912. He was born on January 27th, 1850. (Fowler, Dave). In this paragraph we will be talking about the actually day the huge ship sank. We will also be talking about the time the Titanic sank, and last how long did it take to sink. The ginormous ship sunk on April 14, 1912- April 15, 1912. The Titanic struck the iceberg around 11:40pm on April 14, 1912. It nearly took the Titanic 3:00 hours before it completely sank. It actually took 2 hours and an additional 40 min. That's a long time! I guess the “Unsinkable ship” has sunk. ( Fowler, Dave). There were a total of 2,222 people aboard the Titanic. But, 2,222 people did not return after hitting the iceberg. Many people died to be exact 1,517 people died. That is a lot of people! The amount of people that died is very tragic and unfortunate. Only 706 people survived! Compared to the deaths that is a low number. The amount of people that died is very upsetting. ( Fowler,
April 15, 1912 the “unsinkable” Titanic had almost three hours before it was no longer afloat, but plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. Blueprints, journal & logs, and tons of witnesses were thoroughly inspected over the past 100 years to help solve the question agonizing question, why. For the 100-year remembrance of the tragic event, Smithsonian Channel released a documentary, Titanic’s Final Mystery. Dedicated Titanic detective and historian, Tim Maltin releases his theory on how the “unsinkable” sank.
TITANIC The April 14, 1912, the titanic sunk down with a lot of people on it. The titanic pose to been “unsinkable” but there was to many water weight compartments, so it sunk down hours after it got busted. Titanic pose to been the greatest voyage of all time but was it really?
The Titanic was the largest ship in the world of its time. This ship was filled with people of all ages and social classes. On the night of April 15, 1912, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic struck a monstrous iceberg and as a result, 1,500 people died. James Bruce Ismay is responsible for the passing of the civilians because he left the boat when he wasn’t supposed to, he owned the Titanic, and he was so cheap when designing the ship.
The Titanic is one of the most famous ships known around the world as the once "unsinkable ship". April 15, 1912 the Titanic sank into the Atlantic Ocean on it's one and only voyage. The 825 ton ship can be found 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland 12,600 feet below the Atlantic.
“Although there was room on deck for twice as many lifeboats, the Titanic carried lifeboats for just over half of the
“The ship had watertight compartments that would allow her to float indefinitely” According to Robert Ballard in Exploring The Titanic. Although, this accusation was unfortunately far from the truth. These compartments quickly filled and abolished the idea of “watertight”, like domino's they flooded one after another The question then is: Who is responsible for the Titanic's sinking that sent 1,500 innocent people to a watery grave?. The consequences of Bruce Ismay and Thomas Andrews faulty design may have been the downfall of this “Unsinkable” ship.
As a result of sending distress calls, many ships got calls for help and changed where they were going to come to the rescue. Finally, as ship comes, which was the RMS Carpathia and survivors boarded the Carpathia to safety. After all the survivors were aboard, the Carpathia and speeded to New York and got there on April 18th. Approximately only 705 people of about the 2,204 passengers survived. The Titanic was one of the most harrowing sinking of any other ship with the most casualties.
This gigantic ocean liner, at its time, was the most famous and largest ship. The ship was known for the fact of how it was thought to be unsinkable. It was filled with new china, new beds, everything was new. While the ship may have been thought of as unsinkable this was not the case. On April 14, 1912 at 11:40 PM tragedy struck. The unsinkable ship had hit an iceberg and in only approximately 2 hours later it would be at the bottom of the ocean. A total of 1,502 people died either on the ship or in the frigid water. Obviously this ship was on its maiden voyage and as said earlier was filled with all new everything. Then in 1985, Robert Ballard found the Titanic near the Grand Banks of Newfoundland about 12,000 feet down. Since then a total of over 6,000 artifacts have been taken out of the ship. Some experts say the ship will be gone in a few years and implode on itself until it eventually breaks down. Others say the ship will gradually decompose until the bow eventually implodes on itself. In an article published by Canadian Chemical News, D. Roy Cullimore and Lori Johnston described the results of their study of the ship's condition. They concluded: "There appears, at this time, to be evidence not of a catastrophic structural failure about to occur in the near future, but rather of a gradual collapse that would follow a somewhat predictable pattern." Many believe this wreckage should
The Titanic was never thought to sink as it was said to be unsinkable. The crew members, builders, and citizens that were on the ship were all under the influence that they were invincible to the world. When the Titanic was on its way to the destination the
It now lays 12,500 feet under water in the Atlantic Ocean, a constant reminder of the astonishing loss of life and how man’s ego and technology cannot conquer the natural elements. Documentary after documentary, after movie after TV show has been made about the Titanic and more than 143,619 books written and the disastrous loss of life remains undeniable. From a first glance, we see an unfortunate accident but, at a closer look, we begin to question why 68% of passengers died when modern ship building was so advanced? From poor design to lack of lifeboats, each flaw claimed passengers’ lives making it the most deadly peacetime maritime disaster in history. Historians and geographers have pieced together the story of the night 14th April 1912 to determine why so many people died.
On April 10th the mighty titanic left south Hampton England too start its long journey across the North Atlantic Ocean to end up in New York City. The ocean liner was designed by William Pirrie and was made in Belfast. The titanic was the world’s fastest ship and it was 833 feet from bow to stern. They called the ship unsinkable because four of the compartments could be flooded and it would not sink.

People have been told for centuries that the Titanic’s catastrophic sinking was caused by the ship hitting an iceberg. Hundreds of movies have been made and thousands of articles and books have been written about the infamous sinking. However, the cause of the sinking is very different than most people have been told all along. The Titanic, which was regarded as unsinkable, was the largest ship of its time. The ship was owned by the White Star Line, and departed from Southampton England on April 10 1912, scheduled to bring its 2224 passengers to New York.

The RMS Titanic took sail April 11, 1912 from Southampton, England in the hopes of New York City. The Titanic 's passengers were divided into three separate classes, determined not only by the price of their ticket but by wealth and social class, those traveling in first class, the wealthiest passengers on board, were prominent and those traveling in third class were among the poorest. The Titanic received several warnings throughout its travel and ignored because the ship was assumed “unsinkable. “The Titanic eventually hit an iceberg and it was warned prior to impact. The ship didn’t have much time and couldn’t do it anything about impact. It was much too late to retaliate to the wreckage, the only thing they could do was hope.
