RMS Olympic

On June 10th, 1999 a gasoline pipeline ruptured in Whatcom Falls Park. This park is located in Bellingham, Washington where the pipeline was controlled by the Olympic Pipeline Company. This break in the gasoline pipeline let over a million liters of gasoline flow into a nearby river in the park. After about an hour and a half the gasoline in the river ignited and caught on fire. The fire burnt along the river for one and a half miles. As a result of the gasoline catching on fire, three people were

For Murray Mckercher, his product is to provide athletic sports content in the eyes of the athlete (M. McKercher, personal interview, February 24th, 2017). McKercher does this by attaching the camera to the athlete and shooting a video while the athlete’s in their respective sport. For example, he will attach a camera to a horseback rider during the race. The video will be edited by his team and transferred into virtual reality technology. After everything is correctly edited, the content will be

I am reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and I am on page 300. This portion of the book is about Louie Zamperini living his WWII days in different POW camps. He has to endure beatings and inhumane conditions. In this journal I will be evaluating and predicting. I will be evaluating Mutsuhiro Watanabe “The Bird”. For starters, he is very cruel. One reason is that he has very harsh punishments that can leave POW prisoners unconscious or dead. The Bird would mainly pick out people who were of higher

Chapter 26- Radio Tokyo propositions Louie again, but this time to read a message they wrote. Louie doesn't want to be made into a propaganda tool, so he refuses, then they threaten to send him to a punishment camp. Back at camp, the Bird is going crazier and crazier as B-29s cross overhead every day. Meanwhile, Phil and one-legged Fred Garrett have been transferred to Zentsuji, it’s about as bad as Omori: contaminated rice, dysentery, abuse, but Phil is allowed to send letters home and tell his

completely opposite from the fake love story everyone has heard of. There is some evidence that the Titanic and another ship, the Olympic, were switched, but there is proof that the boat was indeed the Titanic. Neither the boat nor the people were switched, unfortunately, so the people who were on the boat, did pass away. The theory of the Titanic being switched with the Olympic has been debated quite a bit, but the ships were not switched. The Titanic, first of all, was a huge ship. It makes sense,

later would prove to be a bad investment as the Titanic sunk on its maiden voyage when it hit an iceberg, killing over 1500 people and only 750 people survived, RMS Britannic which sunk when it hit a mine in 1916 and so the only ship that worthwhile was the RMS Olympic which suffered from little to no problems [Rmstitanichotel.co.uk, 2016]. RMS Titanic is the most well known vessel created by White Star Line as it resulted in an exorbitant amount of people dying which could have been easily been prevented

As a result, the Olympics’ insurers refused to pay off the damages from the accident. Paying for the necessary repairs would be ruinously expensive, possibly bankrupting the White Star Line business which was already operating on uncertain and increasingly tight profit margins

“Seafare, the new frontier for our modernized world.”- Cunard Line shipbuilding franchise. Back the 1800’s, the main goal for shipbuilding companies around Europe, was the crossing of the great Atlantic Ocean. These competitions would rowel up the people of Europe, giving them more reason to believe that mankind can perform anything. The Atlantic voyages, were the space race of the 1800’s, each company tried to make the biggest ship, and the fastest ship, to make it across the Atlantic in record

1912 the RMS Titanic set out on it’s maiden voyage across the Atlantic ocean. But tragedy fell upon the glorious ship when the titanic struck an iceberg and sank, or so people think it was the actual Titanic. Today conspiracies have arisen as to whether the Titanic was the actual Titanic or it was the Titanic’s sister ship the RMS Olympic. Today so many pieces of evidence prove that it was in fact the Olympic. I feel that the Titanic that sailed on April 10th, 1912 was actually the Olympic.

The Un-Sinkable Ships Throughout history certain events have stood the test time and are still remembered today. When discussing maritime travel and technology, the one ship that is most thought of is the RMS Titanic, her ill-fated maiden voyage and the roughly fifteen hundred passengers who died that night in April. People don’t tend to think about is how a ship like the Titanic come to be: who built her, why did they build her, what is the history behind her conception, what happened after she
