I have boarded the RMS Titanic. To say I am content would be a lie; this ship is far too big for my comfort. Claims of it being ‘unsinkable’ are unsettling. Those who believe a ship is unsinkable must be too full of themselves to realize that no ship is truly impenetrable, but I had little say in becoming a passenger. My mother and brother insisted on having me accompany them to America, so I must travel on this massive ship.
My brother took me along to explore the interior. There are many public rooms, and now that I have taken a look, the ship is quite dazzling. It is impressive that they could put a gymnasium, swimming pool, and squash courts on one ship… everything is brand new and shiny. I can only wonder if it will last the voyage to New York.
The crew seems confident in the ship’s ability to sail well, so I must put all my faith in them. Until we reach New York, I will enjoy the Titanic’s amenities. The restaurant menu is quite exquisite, and sailing in second class is nice. For dinner we had baked haddock with sharp sauce, and finished it off with some American ice cream.

There were passengers scrambling to the end of the ship out of the water, some jumping off into the water. Just before it sank, you could see the lights blinking out as the ship lost power. As it finally sank, you heard the sound of hundreds of people wailing; drowning… the most horrific
