Titanic “The Unsinkable ship” The Titanic was known as "the unsinkable ship". She was the largest ship afloat at the time of her maiden voyage in April of 1912, during which she collided with an iceberg. She was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. A numerous amount of people believe that the collision that occurred on April 15, 1912 was The Titanic’s sister ship The Olympic, and that the wreckage was premeditated and was used to commit insurance fraud

Most builders of the ship thought that if they added more lifeboats would disquite the first-class passengers and ruin their view of the ocean and didn't add them. If the crew would have seen the iceberg 30-seconds sooner, and changed the course, the chances of the Titanic being saved could be increased. The Titanic is the only ever ocean liner to be sunk by an iceberg. There was a Japanese person aboard the ship who survived the sinking and made fun of, being called a coward, by his country for

Titanic and why it is an important event in history. The Titanic was an awfully big ship. It was about 883 feet long, and weighed 52,310 tons which is huge, the largest ship ever actually. It was designed by Thomas Andrews, but built by Harland and Wolff, which was a ship building company. It was built in Belfast, United Kingdom. They started building the ship on March 31, 1909 and launched the final ship project on May 31, 1911. Which I honestly think they finished it really fast. The Titanic when

Building, and the John Hand Building became part of “The Heaviest Corner on Earth.” Which was a group tall skyscraper constructed on the four corners of the city’s main street, in the core of downtown. All of these were constructed during the industrial boom, making Birmingham the largest city in the state of Alabama. Right outside the Empire Building stands a marker placed by the Birmingham Historical Society about the four buildings (Fig. 2). The Empire Building was a sixteen story Neoclassical

The Titanic tragedy was not a very happy event, but I am here to share my opinion on the causes of the sinking of it. After examining all of the evidence, I have concluded that Captain Smith was the most significant cause in the sinking of the Titanic at 80 percent. I believe he was the main cause because he cancelled the lifeboat drills, and his crew decided to not turn out of the way of the iceberg. Also, only environmental factors matter if they hadn't crashed into the iceberg. Many other things

Even though the Titanic was thought of as a technology masterpiece during that time the sinking of the ship had many engineering falls in design as well as safety procedures. There were many ethical decisions made which resulted in the sinking of the Titanic as well as the number of survivors and deceased. The captain of the Titanic ignored many warnings from the crew and other ships about icebergs. If the captain had made the decision for the ship to slow down, its possible this disaster would not

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. In some experts opinions the Titanic was doomed from the start. Like most star-liners from the time period, the Titanic featured water tight doors in the bottom of the ship’s haul to keep water from spreading to different areas of the

Have you ever wondered who was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? I think this is an important because many people blame people who think are responsible without even doing the research You should care about this topic because even though it happened over a hundred years ago it still has relevance today. I think J Bruce Ismay is responsible for the sinking of the titanic because he was a rich snobby man who cared more about himself that the security of the passengers. Although
