When The Titanic Sank Research Paper

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!"

The Titanic is different from the other ships because, they thought that the Titanic was unsinkable. “It’s another ice burg warning…the captain had seemed quite unconcerned” on 106 and 107 so they aren’t worried that they will not hit the ice burg and sink because those people don’t think it can sink. “There was much talk among the passengers about the Titanic being unsinkable.” On 105 so they aren’t worried that the boat will sink. “Nicknamed the Unsinkable ship” on page 102 it even says unsinkable

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

The RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Titanic was the middle child in a series of three ships: the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Britannic. These unprecedentedly large ships were built in Belfast, Ireland, in the shipyard of Harold and Wolff for the White Star Line company. The Titanic and her sister ships were built 269.1 meters long, 28.2 meters wide, 53 meters from the keel to the top of the funnels, and weighing in at a whopping 46,000 tons (Felkins, Leighly Jr., Jankovic, 1998). On April 2, 1912, The Titanic finally sets sail to Southampton, England, where it was to start its maiden voyage to New York. Finally, on April 12, 1912, Titanic commenced its infamous voyage. Just four days into the journey, tragedy had struck. Despite receiving multiple warnings of dangerous ice sections and icebergs throughout the day, the Titanic continues on its course through the frigid Atlantic waters without diversion. The captain of the ship, Smith, goes to bed around 9:20. However, at 11:40 on April the 12th, the Titanic strikes the iceberg on

There were many causes to the Titanic sinking. However, one of these causes is more to blame than the rest. His name was Jack, Jack Phillips. He is most to blame for the sinking of the Titanic, because, he ignored seven iceberg warnings, told the Californian operator, shut up, and sent the “CQD” signal after the iceberg was hit.

In 1912, there was a big ship build which went by the name of The Titanic. According to Titanic sinks (2010), it had a length of 882 ft. long, a height of 175 ft. and its weight was 46,000 Tons. To build this gorgeous ship it took 3,000 men about 3 years to finish it. The ship was supposed to make its journey from Southampton, England to New York City, NY. A journey that was never reached.

The sinking of the RMS Titanic was very tragic, yet it still catches many people’s attention due to the interesting facts and stories. Over three years had been completely wasted building the world famous “unsinkable ship” that descended beneath the North Atlantic Ocean only four days after it had begun its voyage. Today, technology has helped researchers discover new information on the Titanic that has been made available to the public.

Most people say that the sinking of the Titanic was a terrible tragedy ,and that is true . When people heard the news they were very surprised because everyone that the titanic was supposed to be unsinkable and it was not unsinkable.

About 1,500 passengers on the maiden voyage of the Titanic was sent to a watery grave when the luxurious ocean liner sank in 1912.

At 11:40 April 14th, 1912, the renowned Titanic hit an iceberg on the journey from Southampton to New York. The skip was completely sunk two hours later and more than 1500 passengers and crew members died. Over time we have accounted and collected many relics and artifacts from the wreckage, everything from watches to letters.

The Titanic shipwreck was a tragic accident. This ship may have been caused by many different things. In my opinion I think that the wreck was caused by the captain, and the weather.

One of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century, was the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Although many ships have succumbed to the icebergs in the ocean, none have accounted for a greater loss of life than the Titanic (Hill, 2000). All the hype surrounding the Titanic in 1912, made people believe this ship was going to be an unstoppable luxury cruise; even third class passengers would be able to enjoy simple things that weren’t offered on other ocean liners at the time, like cooked meals and their own private cabins. The Titanic was dubbed the Ship of Dreams; however, it would turn into a nightmare for the passengers and their families in less than a week. The maiden voyage from South Hampton, England to New York City, New York would be a journey no one could forget. The sinking of the Titanic would capture the imagination of Hollywood directors, and became the passion of sea explorers who would search for the great vessel.

A ship bigger than the world had ever seen, three years in the making, took less than three hours to sink into the depths of the ocean (Fowler; “Build”; Yasuda 6; “Sinking”; “Interesting”; Hall 38; Stewart 8). In April of 1912, The RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and sank 12,000 feet to the ocean floor. This incident cost the lives of over 1,500 passengers and crew members, over half the total people that had been on board (“Sinking”). The Titanic was the largest ship ever built when it entered service, at 882 feet long, 92 feet wide, and 175 feet high, and was touted as "unsinkable" (Hall 19,38; Yasuda 5,7; Hopkinson 25; “World’s”; Stewart 8). The Titanic disaster was a wake-up call for many people, average citizens and maritime experts alike (Savage). As a result of the sinking of the so-called "unsinkable" Titanic, exploration into better safety regulations and shipbuilding techniques occurred.

Titanic is one of the outstanding/ phenomenal movie ever created. It is a best romantic film ever produced. Titanic is filled with love, romance, drama, excitement, etc. It is by far the best romantic movie I have ever seen. Although I saw the movie on the 60 inch Samsung in my room while eating popcorn. It was quite and dark. I really feel like it was the best experience that I ever had because there was no one around me. There was no noise of crying baby, there were no people behind you whispering to each other. It was calm and relaxing.
