Iceberg

“Large patches of ice and many Icebergs.” says a warning from the radio of the Caronia. There were many of these warnings. Some were ignored and some not taken seriously. I find the radio workers and the lookouts guilty of the sinking of the Titanic. But why was if their 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…

April 15,1912, a disaster was reported of a ship that sank. This ship was called the Titanic which was a Royal Mail Ship from Britain. Many people died and only a couple survived, most of them without their family. The ship crashed against a massive iceberg causing it to sink. Love the amount of detail you give and background knowledge about the Titanic. The Titanic disaster was definitely manmade. Many malfunctions, mistakes and poor coordination led…

106 years ago the tragedy struck; and 706 people sat on lifeboats or clung onto chairs and boards for their lives, while others said their final words on a ship once called unsinkable. People watched as the grand ship split in half after hitting an iceberg. The bow split from the stern and spiraled down to the bottom of the Atlantic, not to be found for another 73 years by Robert Ballard. The stern stuck up in the air and went down under the sea like an “elevator.” It wasn’t nature’s fault, so…

The appalling maritime disaster of the twentieth century, the sinking of Titanic is remembered for the failure of an engineering marvel equipped with technological advances that were, at the time, deemed it “practically unsinkable.”(Delgado, n.d.) On April 10, 1912 from Southampton, England to New York city, largest ship destined on her maiden voyage.

calmly. Then on the night of April 14, 1912 at 11:40 p.m., the ship struck an iceberg. It is said that this was not because of one mistake, but a series that led to the Titanic sinking. One reason is that many believe the ship was traveling way too fast during the icy weather. Another reason is that people think that Captain Edward J. Smith didn’t pay enough attention to the warnings that were received about the icebergs. Also, the crew that were…

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 the captain did not provide them. Also, It states on page 18 that the captain didn’t take the iceberg warnings seriously and thought that the Titanic was unsinkable. And my last reason is that the wireless operator didn’t listen to the last iceberg…

Everyone thought the ship was unsinkable! The Titanic hit the iceberg below the waterline, which made this ship helpless. It sent the Titanic to the bottom of the sea in just 2 ½ hours. The length of the Titanic was almost 900 feet. The Titanic weighted 46,000 pounds, With the weight of the passengers, the crew, cargo…

assisted with the sinking. I bet he helped cause it for three reasons. First, on page 18, it says that he posted the first iceberg warning on the bulletin board and did nothing about it. Second, on the same page, it says they were going full speed and the captain didn’t have them slow down. Third, on the same page again, he didn’t have them make a detour around the icebergs. He could have paid attention to the warning, slowed down, and made a detour. Therefore, the Titanic…
