Passenger

The passengers aboard the RMS Titanic were about 2,223 people who sailed on the maiden voyage. They sailed from Southampton to New York City. With many great deaths that occurred on this “unsinkable ship”, many authors used this event as a background for a great story, but were the details of the event accurately portrayed? When writing Dangerous Waters, it is clear that Gregory Mone did his research and showed the event accurately. The book Dangerous Waters by Gregory Mone was a heart…

the text of page 19, after what seemed to be a long day of work, Harold decided to take a well deserved nap. As Harold dozed off, his partner was left to do passenger complaints and ice warnings, which proved to be too much for one worker to handle. Last but not least, on page 19, while Harold’s partner worked he was overwhelmed with passenger complaints and those that needed assistance when a shouting voice came over the radio. It was the captain of the Californian. When getting this message…

disaster. It took 1,500 passengers and crewmembers’ lives, which is about two-thirds of the total 2.200 people on board (Lipman). The weather was cold, and very calm. The north Atlantic had many icebergs as well. “Captain Smith was unconcerned about icebergs. After all, the Titanic was a steel behemoth. His concern was shattering speed records set by other steamers”…

the rudders were too small so the ship did not turn in time and so the ship hit the iceberg on her starboard side leaving a tiny trail of small punctures in the hull. These small breaks were all that was needed to seal the fate of titanic and her passengers for now over 400 tons of water was pouring in…

What does one think of when the name Titanic is said? That it was one of perhaps the most tragic events to have ever occurred on the sea? What is certain however is that it is one of the most remembered historical events to have ever occurred on the ocean and it is possible that the words “criminal negligence” come to one’s mind however, people look at it most have no idea of the true reasons the Titanic sank and that is why several people over the years have delved into the mystery of what sank…

followed by his odd way of asking for help, and it all ended with a rescue plan announced by him at the last minute. For such an expirenced seaman, such weird pattern of behaviour is shadowy and unexplained. The Titanic carried on board 2,200 passengers, 40 tons of potatoes, 35,000 eggs, 12,000 bottles of mineral water and 7,000 sacks of…

the first of March 1878, the vessel ‘Loch Ard’ departed from England to Port Philipp in Melbourne under the command of Captain George Gibb. Moreover, the ship carried seventeen crew, thirty-seven passengers and a mixed cargos. On the first of June 1873, as the ship was approaching Melbourne, the passengers and crew were busy preparing to celebrate the end of the three month journey. Unfortunately, the captain…

It Can Only Get Better From Here On April 14, 2017, 1,503 people died due to one tragic accident and authors made thousands of dollar by writing about it. This accident happened when the Titanic crashed into an iceberg. Deborah Hopkinson was one of those authors. She wrote the book Titanic Voices From the Disaster, but it wasn’t very fascinating. It would’ve been better if she included more details about the lifeboats. She also could’ve said more about how cold the water was when the Titanic…

First class had all the luxury. Second class on the other hand was a step down. Second class only had two rooms to see each other. They had a dining room and a promenade. Most of the second class passengers were teachers, merchants, and professionals of moderate. A second class ticket back then cost 60 dollars. Now a days a second class ticket would cost 1,375 dollars. Third class was the worst of the three. Most of the people in the third class were…

experience very close in our minds.” (Captain Arthur H Rostron, Commander of the Carpathia). Taking place in the North Atlantic Ocean the sinking of the Titanic on April 14-15th, 1912 was a very terrifying day for Captain Edward J. Smith along with 2,200 passengers and crew. In the life boat, recalled Dorothy Gibson, “No one said a word. There was nothing to say and nothing we could do.”(Wilson, pp.34) The following are the series of events that happened in the sinking of the Titanic. At…
