It is Sunday, April 14, 1912, at 11:39 pm. The shout, “ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD!!!!!!!” is heard. 37 seconds later, the Titanic hits an iceberg and starts to sink. The sinking lost more than half of the ship’s crew and passengers. Of around 2,228 people aboard, 1,503 died and 725 survived.…
collected over 5,500 artifacts from the legendary ship. Anything and everything that could be taken from china dishes all the way to bank notes was taken. Everything from the Titanic would be valuable. A cracker from a survival kit was sold at auction for twenty-three thousand while the last first class lunch menu was sold for eighty-eight thousand dollars. Ballard was not pleased with the outcome knowing that this was not only a historical figure, but a sacred gravesite.…
Now to anyone that would hear this news would be so shocked and confused because the Titanic was the unsinkable ship, well…
Despite their intentions, a majority of marine conservation acts passed by Congress have not been enforced properly or are ignored entirely. Some environmentalists argue that we as citizens are to blame because we are too busy with our personal lives to care about the environment—most of us don’t recycle, utilize alternative sources of energy, or think twice about the detrimental effects that our lifestyles and everyday habits have on the oceans, let alone any other ecosystem or even the Earth, for that matter. I hope to find that maybe we as citizens are slightly responsible, for the government has proposed and signed into law quite a few acts that have promoted the marine conservation movement. Marine conservation is a term used to describe…
It is not just these animals who must live in these kind of situations, but sea animals are forced into tiny tanks where they will remain there for the rest of their lives. Keeping animals in captivity for our own use is infringement of an animal’s right to be free from human abuse. The crazy thing is that even in their own environment these poor and defenseless animals are hunted down and used for our own purposes. Sharks, for example, are hunted down for their fins and only their fins. Sharks have been living on earth for over 400 million years.…

Monuments create a history of the United States of America and agencies should consider how much will be invested in their creation and where they will be located.

The Titanic would only have needed a couple more minutes to pass that iceberg, the workers had hours… If the crew workers just listened to the other ships warnings, they could have saved over 1,500 lives from just sinking down like the…
As the turn of almost a century after the sinking of the Titanic mariologist and archaeologist go out to the sunken ship to find out reasons and the flaws of this giant beauty of the sea. As researchers looked into the ship it was said the stamina and size both has been boosted as it was the largest passenger steamship built until that time. “The ship can never sink,” (Gavin and Zarr) and that was another statement of the time that seemed as if it was true but looking into the material and design; scientists see all failures and flaws possible. However before getting to that there is a crucial note to be that the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization listed 29 categories in which questions asked from birthplace all the way to where they…
