Rachel and a group of researchers that had been looking at the way on how the Titanic sank, which the researchers had been studying and analyzing the evidence for 30 plus years. On top of that, she herself and a group of historians can confirm that the ship that had sunk on April 15th, 1912 was indeed the Titanic. Also to mention that the 30 years of specializing and studying on the Titanic, is a lot of time to be researching over on how a ship sank.

    According to several sources the Titanic was transporting a mummy belonging to a museum in England. This mummy was said to have been set near the bridge as to keep it safe from damage due to the cargo hold being a little unforgiving to fragile cargo. During the trip it is said that the curse of said mummy doomed the ship to its fate. Although no real evidence supports this theory many people believe it, but this is not a legitimate theory either considering the ship never had such a cargo the theory here is not a theory at all, but fact a fire was aboard the Titanic and the crew knew it. This started three weeks before the Titanic set sail on her maiden…

    There were many probabilities to why it sunk. They called the Titanic the unsinkable ship because it was designed to stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached. Before the departure of the ship the White Star line and the owners of the ship announced that the ship was unsinkable and from there that is where everyone started to think that it was the unsinkable. Many people started buying tickets because they wanted to be the first to board the enormous ship that would cross the Atlantic Ocean. So they built the ship as fast as they could and they didn't care if it was safe or not.…

    Many people believe the Titanic was sunk by an iceberg, however; the iceberg was really only part of the problem. Ignorance is the other reason for the sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic had enough lifeboats for over 50% of people to get off the Titanic, but due to confusion and unpreparedness most lifeboats were not even filled to maximum capacity. Yet, that was not the only reason for the loss of life. Many deaths were those of the third class, mostly immigrants, while those of the first class had been on lifeboats before the third class had even woke.…

    In this essay I will be deliberating my personal response on the three texts: A Night to Remember by Walter Lord, Every Man for Himself by Beryl Bainbridge, and The Convergence of the Twain by Thomas Hardy. These texts convey the story of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, but altogether they are completely different types of writing. Walter lord’s text is a factual account, while Beryl Bainbridge’s book is a historical fiction novel, and Thomas hardy’s is a poem. All of these texts refer to the Titanic’s collision. In ‘A Night to Remember’ they described the boat coming toward the iceberg more than they described the actual collision, “it was a little like coming alongside a dock wall rather heavily”.…

    It’s early 1980s and Dr. Robert Ballard has a dream. That dream was to discover the Titanic. The depth of the Atlantic Seabed would force Dr. Ballard to go deeper than any deep-sea diver had gone before. In 1973, the ALVIN (a manned deep- ocean research submersible owned by the United States Navy) had to go through structure changes to withstand the depth necessary to reach the Titanic which was around 13,000 feet. The researchers did not have much to go on in terms of a location for the ship itself.…
