Survivors and Deaths The Spedden Story One Survival story, was about Douglas that was the only child of Frederic and Daisy Spedden when they boarded the Titanic. An hour after the shuddering collision, Douglas, his mother, Daisy, and two servants went into lifeboat 3. The dad was also allowed to get into a lifeboat when they let men get into lifeboats early on. They had all fortunately survived! Sadly Douglas’s life was cut short on August 6, 1915, two years after the Titanic crashed.…

To get back to New York, Strauss and his wife purchased a first out of third class passenger ticket on a brand new ship, RMS’ White Star Line Titanic!

me tell you about the Titanic. My article is about the Titanic: the building of the Titanic, the journey, iceberg/crash, and survivors. Like you heard earlier the building of the Titanic started on March 31, 1909 by Hard & Wolf. Titanic’s sister Olympic, had set sail three months before the Titanic. The Titanic had 15,000 workers working on her. About three million iron and steel rivets were used. It was 822 feet long and eleven stories. There are different levels on the Titanic. First of all,…

Who is responsible for the sinking of the titanic? This is important to know because the titanic's sinking was one of the most memorable tragedies in history. This has taught multiple ship makers what and what not to do. The audience should care because one day you might be asked this question as well. Captain Smith was responsible for the sinking of the titanic because he ignored multiple ice warnings, was at a party during the sinking getting drunk, and left the steering wheel unattended which…

I think that the Mary Celeste was abandoned at sea due to an on board explosion. The cargo, and physical condition the ship was found in, points to this and I believe an explosion is the only reason such an experienced captain would abandon ship. Firstly, the cargo on board being alcohol, could have easily triggered a small explosion, with the result of abandoning ship. Different documents have shown that traces of alcohol were found in the bottom of the ship from barrels that had leaked.…

The Titanic was the dream ship that was thought to be completely unsinkable, but did not take the safety of the passengers into deep enough consideration. They neglected safety standards and procedures which proved to be the cause of death of many of the passengers on board. On the early morning of April 15th, 1912, that passenger filled ship collided with an iceberg causing over 2,200 passengers to struggle to survive through hypothermia, drowning, lifeboat scarcity, and other conditions that…

As it seems the massive liner was doomed to infamy from the very beginning. At on Wednesday April 10, 1912 the R.M.S. Titanic started to depart from Southampton on its way to New York City. Just as titanic left port a dangerous suction started and pulled another ship the New York into a crash course with the immense ship and it wasn’t until the last possible minute that a huge surge of water pushed the New York out of harms way. Yet just as it seemed that disaster was averted another major…

Do you know what caused the Titanic disaster? I know what caused it- actually not a what, but a who caused it. I am getting the information from the book Exploring the Titanic. Here are two things and reasons why the Titanic ended up sinking. First, the captain probably 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…

“Icebergs loomed up and fell astern and we never slackened. It was an anxious time with the Titanic's fateful 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…
