Birkenhead Drill Birkenhead Drill was a military ship. In February 1851, it was going to South Africa with troops and their families. There were a total of six hundred and thirty people on board out of which one hundred and seventy were women and children. The rest were inexperienced military men and officers. At 2 a.m. on 25th February, when this ship was near Cape Town, it strokes a massive rock that was not shown on any of the maps. This sudden jerk broke the ship into two pieces. The front…

Mr. Mazzo showed us many artifacts in class. We learned about Vikings and the life of Leif Ericson, a Viking explorer who found North America (Newfoundland). I learned more about Viking life than I didn’t know about. The first artifact is the Gjermundbu Helmet. The helmet was made of iron to protect heads in fights. It had oculars that protected their eyes and a nasal that protected the nose, and a spike on top was to show fierce to the opponents. This type of helmet was the early form/model of…

voyage. While on the seas, word made it to the ship that the seas would be increasingly inhabited with German submarines the closer they got to England, so to better prepare the passengers they readied the lifeboats on the ship. On May 7, 1915, without any warning, a German U-boat sent a torpedo into the bridge of the ship before a second torpedo made contact. The Lusitania was only 11 miles from the coast of Ireland, but there was no way to get the ship to safety. It only took a total of 18…

fault? Here is why these people’s actions caused the sinking of the Titanic. The radio workers, almost as soon as the ship left for sea, were getting warnings of floating ice and Icebergs in their way further out in the Atlantic Ocean. But what would a little bit of floating ice do to the unsinkable ship after all? First, Harold Bride, who was glad to get a job on the new ship, was working with another partner at the radio room in one of the Titanic’s decks. It says on page 19 of chapter two…

of the Atlantic Ocean, the world’s biggest and most luxurious cruise line ships just had sunk. This horrific sinking of the ship is very devastating and the ship contained roughly around 2,200 passengers on board. 1,500 of the 2,200 passengers including women, men and children, and many of the crew members working for the ship had lost their lives. That is merely more than two-thirds of the passengers that died on that ship accident. The ages of the victims that lost their lives that…

took place at the Titanic Disaster? The Titanic was one of the biggest ships ever to set sail. The Titanic was also one of the few ships in 1912 to have little lifeboat space for its passengers The person you would need to talk to would be Captain Stanley Philip Lord. Since he was the one that did not respond correctly to the flares shot by the Titanic, he had absolutely no experience with ice fields, and as Captain of the ship he made incorrect assumptions about what was going on at the…

The Titanic The night the Titanic sank was a very tragic night. One question I have and oftenly ponder is if this disaster could have been avoided? Could extra precautions could have taken to save the lives of the people on the Titanic. I honestly believe that it could have been avoided and that some people were the cause of this disaster. I have reason to believe that the captain and the wireless operator are at fault. First of all, the lookouts did not see the iceberg before time because…
