Personal Response: I read the book The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis. It was an interesting, historical, and informative book. Overall, I thought it was very good and exciting to learn about history. Plot:…
in 1912. Over a thousand innocent people died that dark night and there has been many explanations as to why it happened. On April 14, 1912, a ship called the Titanic from the White Star ocean liner hit an iceberg that seemed small at first and sank near Newfoundland (“Titanic Sinking”). Passenger ships normally travel in what’s called the “summer route” from January 15 to August 14. It is further than the winter route which should’ve been safer, but the winter was unusually mild, causing ice to drift further south than usual.…
After 11 p.m., the Californian's bridge officers spotted a ship about five miles distant. An attempt to reach them by morse lamp got no response. At 12:45 a.m., April 15, 1912, Second Officer Herbert Stone saw the flicker of rockets in the far distance. However, the ship he was observing appeared to be in no danger. For decades thereafter, Captain Lord was condemned as the man who failed to rush to the Titanic's aid.…
Even though people said the Titanic was unsinkable, it still sunk. The Titanic had about 2,208 people on board and 1,503 people died. When the Titanic was sinking 28 people got on a lifeboat and 63 could have fit on. The next morning 300 and more dead bodies were pulled out of the sea the next morning after the titanic sunk. Some people say the captain was turning and accidentally swiped against an iceberg and got hit and some other people say the captain got drunk and wasn't paying attention while turning and crashed.…
10 facts about Titanic A century has cruised by since the luxury steamship R.M.S Titanic met its calamitous end in the North Atlantic, sinking two miles to the sea depths in the wake of sideswiping an iceberg amid its maiden voyage. Instead of the originally intended Port of New York, a remote ocean grave turned out to be the White Star Line's last destination in the early hours of April 15, 1912. More than 1,500 individuals lost their lives in the catastrophe. The tragedy triggered a sudden and complete collapse in confidence, revealing that we are still vulnerable despite our modern presumptions of technological infallibility.…

Titanic Back in the 1900´s, Europeans were begging to cross the Atlantic Ocean by boat, so they could get over to one of the safest places on Earth: America. America has lakes, rivers, food, trees, plains, mountains, and what people like most, peace. Well, the Titanic was a cruise ship that did take people over to America. It was actually supposed to be an unsinkable ship, but hit an iceberg, and started to sink on April 14, 1912, and sank completely on April 15, 1912. It was just 4 days into its trip, when it started to sink.…

The 1997 film, Titanic, directed by James Cameron, is based of the true event of the RMS Titanic which had sunk in the Atlantic Ocean on 15th April, 1912. The film begins with special submarines searching the old sunken ship underwater. Astrologers have been in search for a rare diamond necklace called the “heart of the ocean” that was gifted to Rose Bukater from her fiancé Caledon on the ship before it had sunk. Even though the diamond necklace is not found, the astrologers recover a safe with drawings of Rose Bukater wearing nothing but the necklace around her neck. These pictures were shown on a news channel from where an elderly lady claims to be Rose.…
The next day, on the 11th of April, the Titanic stopped at Queenstown, and started heading for New York City. White Star Line vice-president, Phillip Franklin, says, “There is no danger that Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable and nothing but inconvenience will be suffered by the passengers” (Quotes from survivors). Clearly, he was…
At 11:40 p.m. that night everything was calm including the usually turbulent ocean, but the calm was suddenly shattered by what is now one of the most famous quotes ever “Iceberg right ahead”. Almost immediately Officer Murdoch ordered the ship to full reverse and hard to port which basically means to turn left. One major design flaw came into play here, the rudders were too small so the ship did not turn in time and so the ship hit the iceberg on her starboard side leaving a tiny trail of small punctures in the hull. These small breaks were all that was needed to seal the fate of titanic and her passengers for now over 400 tons of water was pouring in…
