First things first, the Titanic was said to be “The Ship of Wonders”; and if you were onboard, you would’ve thought that it truly was. Almost everything onboard was extraordinary. From the bedrooms to the restaurants, everything looked amazing. However, that was if you
I have always been fascinated by the Titanic. Maybe the fact that the 1997 film released a year after I was born based on its fateful end is my favorite movie of all time, but nonetheless, the whole topic of the Titanic still intrigues me. The movie just played a critical part of my interest. However, that it what it has mostly stayed, interest and intrigue. I never really put forth much effort in learning more about the Titanic on my own, instead I just relied on the popular blockbuster to satisfy my wonder when I should have been that gourmet omnivore that Dr. Kerness speaks so much and highly of in class. This assignment gave me the perfect opportunity to do just that. I decided devote
- Booking passage on perhaps the most famous ship in history, the HMS Titanic sails once again for visitors. At the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, interactive experiences pay homage to the Grand Staircase design, encourage trips to the captain's bridge and provide a real life iceberg for the family to touch.
Since the catastrophic night of the sinking of the Titanic, the ship had been unfounded for about seven decades. Nearly 12,460 feet deep in the ocean, a team of people from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found the Titanic in September of 1985 (Brewster & Coulter). The ship was split into two, despite popular belief that the Titanic had sank in one piece (Brewster & Coulter, 1998). If anyone were to try to raise part of the 60 foot buried Titanic, it would fall apart (Brewster & Coulter, 1998). After 73 long years, the mystery of the
Within the past year there has been a controversy between the confederate monuments staying up or coming down. For some reason many people suddenly want these historical monuments to come down. Even though there was not a big fuss about it before, now that Donald Trump has been elected many people seem to have a problem with these monuments that have been up for a numerous amount of decades. In New York Times, “Why Confederate Monuments Must Fall,” Karen Cox gives a brief explanatory story about why these monuments should come down, but in my opinion overall these monuments should stay up no matter what.
Have you ever wondered about shipwrecks? Probably at some point in your life you have. What about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? It was the worst and fastest shipwreck in Great Lakes history. The sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald has a significant story and a significant history behind it, and it’s unfortunate the ship and her crew members aren’t here today.
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.
Relevance Statement: (Many of you have probably heard of the Titanic or even seen the movie but there is so many more details and facts that people are unaware of.)
Recovering artifacts from the shipwreck, people are fascinated about exploring old things that were lost or destroyed in the past. For that, scientists were searching shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico, they have discovered two sunken ships that went down during a storm in the 1800s. The ships they found were in deep underwater, about 4,363 feet down, which makes the ships the deepest Gulf or North American shipwrecks that have ever been studied. In 2011, a crew from the Shell Oil company found a shipwreck and asked the scientists and leaders in the U.S. to come and studied it. People want to know if how do they research the ships was an underwater robot to take a look at it. Just to make sure that nothing happens to it, they armed six
All those deaths left behind them mourning family members who demand that wrecks be left as undisturbed graves. An experienced diver once claimed that hunting through a shipwreck was like walking through a haunted house. You can sense the presence of those who sank with the ship and have nothing to identify their lost remains. This is why the shipwreck are primarily their graveyard and not a place for treasure hunts. They should be left in peace. Ships like the Nuestra Senora de la Mercedes which sank near the coast of Tampa bay, killing over 200 crews members, should be protected by some regulation. For the respect of those who died serving their country, even if the ship contains half a billion dollars worth of sunken treasure.
The Titanic was the largest ship of its time. It was as long as four football fields and was elegant in every way. Sadly, this ship had to sink to the bottom of the ocean, dragging 1517 of the 2223 passengers down with it due to a judgement error. This ship had passengers from both Europe and America, making it one of the most significant voyages. Most people know of the Titanic, but never knew anything of the actual voyage. This is the sequence of the last hours of this glorious ship.
Years after Bemis became the Lusitania’s owner, a change in maritime law gave Ireland jurisdiction over the wreck. And Ireland’s cultural officials view the ship as a combination historic monument and cemetery, a fragile archaeological site that could be desecrated if Bemis’s efforts to solve the mystery of its doom involve physically altering its remains.
If you want to know something scary there was a mummy hidden in a wealthy traveler’s car aboard the Titanic. It was said to be a mummy’s curse back when it was bough, but that didn’t stop the American typhoon from purchasing it and transferring it to a museum on the Titanic. Mysteriously in never arrived because of the fateful destruction of the Titanic. Nevertheless, none of these myths or conspiracy about the Titanic are deemed as true as JP Morgan using it to kill off his competition. For 73 years, the titanic could not be found, until discovered by an oceanographer named Dr. Robert Ballard. No sapphire diamond jewelry shaped like a heart were found, but difference in the described vessel didn’t match what was on the design plans. The conspiracy
I have been fascinated by the history of the Titanic for as long as I can remember.
The Titanic was separated into two different deck areas, one for the first class and a separate for the second class. The second-class were not allowed up to the first class decks; however, the first class dogs were brought down to go to the bathroom on the lower-class decks. The first class were catered to for their every need and second class were ignored and looked upon as garbage that was lucky to be aboard the ship.
