Climax: On the iceberg it is a human, a boy, that is frozen ice cold right in the Oyster's path.

The Titanic was beautiful and larger-than-life, but was severely deadly. The Titanic and all of its passengers could have survived if the ship had been prepared for the worst. Instead of bringing only twenty lifeboats, they should have brought forty-eight lifeboats. The captain could have also called to close the water compartments, but was too late to do so. The ship could have also survived if they would of had well quality rivets and steel that didn’t have high sulfur. All of these assumptions could have saved the lives of those who were aboard the

The reason I believe in this theory and not another one is because this is the most reasonable to me . In the article “ Sinking Theories” where I got my information from. In paragraph 4 tilted “ Theory 4: Three Sisters “ it says . ” Captain Cooper of the Anderson ( the Anderson is a ship that was there when the Edmund sank the people on the ship didn 't see what happened but was close by.) provides “fuel for this theory , as he relates in Marshall’s shipwreck on Lake Superior a little bit before 7:00pm . In the article it says “ The first one flooded our boat deck.” This is when the first wave hit the Anderson the reason I used the Anderson for the example on what happened to the Edmund Fitzgerald because the same things happened to both the ships. Only one thing different the Edmund Fitzgerald was already damaged so it would make

down into the North Atlantic Ocean. I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic by Lauren Tarshis is about the tragedy of the Titanic.

According to “A History In Numbers” by Dave Fowler, only 706 people aboard the Titanic survived the terrible accident, while the other 1,529 were taken down with the ship. Many people believed the iceberg was to blame for the sinking of the ship; however, the problems surrounding the ship began long before the ship set sail. “R.M.S Titanic” by Hanson W. Baldwin revealed that the crew was so confident in the ship’s inability to sink that they did not even pack enough lifeboats in case of an emergency. Furthermore, the captain and crew neglected to practice many safety drills that could have possibly saved many lives. The Titanic was doomed once the captain and crew set foot on the ship because of the arrogant aura they carried which resulted in the confusion and lack of resources that were obtainable during the sinking to many of the passengers including Master Harold Victor Goodwin and his family.

The Titanic was famous because it is more than three football pitches long and weighing about 46,000 tons. The titanic was taller than a 17-story building. It was known to be unsinkable. Inside the Titanic there was a gymnasium, a Parisian café and a tennis court. It set sail on the 10th April 1912, and it sunk on the 14th April 1912 – four days after it set sail. It was famous because it was the largest man-made object in the world. The Titanic was carrying 2,223 people, 1,517 people died. The guests were split into three different classes; first, second and third class, and the higher classes had an advantage when it came to boarding lifeboats and being closer to the top of the deck where the lifeboats

In the essay, “The Ethics of Belief” by William K. Clifford, Clifford argues how one believes is not only responsible for self, but for others as well (Burger, 2008). He believes that one should not believe something without sufficient evidence or vigilant reasoning because you are morally obligated to others. Additionally, Clifford does not consider belief and action to be unconnected, because beliefs can result in actions that affect others. Clifford uses a shipowner sending an emigrant-ship out to sea as an example. Initially, the shipowner has reservations about his ship being old and needing an expensive overhaul to be deemed seaworthy as suggested by some experienced personnel. However, he convinces himself the ship will be fine because it had made this trip safely on numerous occasions. Instead of paying to have the ship overhauled and trusting the word of more experienced personnel, he loads families aboard and unfortunately, the ship goes down and all the passengers are lost.

The Titanic’s maiden voyage was a disaster because the people didn’t prepare for things like this. Most ships go over a safety procedures, but the Titanic didn’t do such a thing. They only rescued wealthy people, which I felt was wrong. Some passengers jumped off the ship in desperation. Whoever drove the ship couldn’t have been paying attention. The people didn’t even consider slowing down due to the hard hit the Titanic took. There are a million reasons the Titanic was a disaster.

The Titanic, most definitely man’s greatest accomplishment, is made in Belfast, Ireland, where it is then set off into the open ocean, and set for Southampton, England. From there, on April 11, 1912, 2:00 p.m., the Titanic sets sail for New York. All seems well, and it looks for the first time, that man has built the “unsinkable ship.” However, the hopes, lives, ship and all are cut down by an iceberg and now rest at the bottom of the Atlantic. This horrendous fact was shown in both the book and the movie, “A Night to Remember,” along with many other facts and stories. Despite the many similarities between the two types of media, there were also many differences. As one can see, the novel written by Walter Lord and the screenplay directed by Roy Ward Baker has some very striking similarities and some very

On April 14, 1912 the RMS Titanic crashed into an iceberg and sank only a few hours later, down to the bottom of the Atlantic. The Titanic was the largest steam vessel ever built and was truly a civilization in its own; due to its economic diversity and number of passengers, the Titanic was basically a floating city. However, after the crashing of the enormous steam vessel, its story became even more intriguing to the public. The tragic event was written about in songs, poetry, and novels. To many, the unsinkable ship was a symbol of identity and hope before it became a tragedy, influencing music and literature.The sinking of the Titanic influenced African American culture and literary works throughout the 20th Century.

The Titanic’s famous crash had many different effects on the people that were part of the tragedy. One person it affected was Jack Thayer, “As for Jack himself, he never seemed able to regain the feeling of confidence and excitement he’d felt as he stood on the Titanic’s deck that April night,”. Another was Bruce Ismay, “Ismay never recovered from the shame.”. Those who lost loved ones were known as “Grief-stricken survivors,” after the tragedy. As you can see, the titanic’s crash had different effects on different people.

Erik Larson’s, Dead Wake: The Last Crossing Of The Lusitania, is one of many of the most thrilling series of events that he ever writes about. Erik Larson was very well known and was a best selling author of books such as In the This book is filled with the history and the causes and effects of the sinking of the Lusitania and many of the events leading up to World War I. He definitely took a strong subject to write about, especially since this was during the height of the Progressive Era. Erik Larson describes the people on the boat feeling carefree and excited about their trip across the Atlantic Ocean on one of the greatest liners of the Era. The Lusitania was a British liner that was meant as a high class luxury which was almost eight hundred

Shipwrecks. They have become some of the best habitats for marine life in the areas they were wrecked, but how are they still here now? Over a few centuries, the ship should have decayed enough for the wood to have broken and the iron to have rusted away. Well, over the course of the next 5 minutes we will be looking at the life of the Niagara and how it sunk, and also the chemistry behind how the Niagara has been preserved over the past hundred years.

To begin, Captain Smith did not fulfill all his duties as commander of the biggest ship in the world. Captain Smith was honored to be in command of such a historic journey, but this definitely caused some arrogance in his behavior and caused him to ignore the constant messages the crew and radio operators gave. While various iceberg warnings were continually arriving in the radio room, Captain Smith was off at fancy dinners and leading church services around the ship. In fact, Captain Smith’s negligence to his job caused him only receive a few of the 7 iceberg alerts. When the captain was told of these warnings, his pride took over. The radio room operators were constantly receiving new updates on the icebergs, but whenever they took them up to the Captain, he arrogantly gave the reports a cold-shouldered goodbye and instructed to hang these warnings where the crew could see them.
