The Titanic cost 1,500,000 and 17,000 men worked for three years to build her. The Titanic was 882 feet long and 92 feet wide, with eight decks. The ship had four giant smokestacks and a massive rudder. Its three propellers were the size of enormous windmills. They were driven by three huge engines. The engines were driven by steam produced in 29 huge boilers. The boilers were powered by 159 coal-burning furnaces.
The sheer scale of the Titanic remains impressive to this day, but so is the design. The hall was sleek and sheer. The two masts were a relic from the days of sail and were used only as flagpoles.
During the building of the ship there were more than 250 outsiders. Eight men died. One unfortunate worker was crushed under the ship
My favorite history experience has to do with the movie called “The Titanic.” Not just the movie but the actual event happening. I wish I could have been there and survived the experience to be able to tell the amazing, life changing story. The movie and the actual sinking of the ship affected me in many ways. I think it also affected the way we make our boats today. When I seen this movie and realized not only how much the world has changed since the titanic happened, but the way we think and how we build things differently.
The Titanic is different from the other ships because, they thought that the Titanic was unsinkable. “It’s another ice burg warning…the captain had seemed quite unconcerned” on 106 and 107 so they aren’t worried that they will not hit the ice burg and sink because those people don’t think it can sink. “There was much talk among the passengers about the Titanic being unsinkable.” On 105 so they aren’t worried that the boat will sink. “Nicknamed the Unsinkable ship” on page 102 it even says unsinkable
Captain Edward Smith stayed on the boat while it was sinking. He was an English naval reserve officer. He
Building the Titanic took around 26 months to finish. The building began March 11, 1909 and by May 11, 1911 the Titanic was launched in the Victoria Channel. A total of 246 injuries and two deaths resulted from the building of the Titanic. The amount of injuries and deaths were low around that time. The massive ship was built to beat their rival Cunard. Harland and Wollf were the shipbuilders, where they chose Thomas Andrews as the architect of the Titanic. He decided to design the ship to be unsinkable by having sixteen different water compartments separated by watertight bulkheads, twenty-nine boilers to power the ship, and had two steam engines. The ship was thought to stay afloat even if four compartments were ruptured. April 10, 1912 the forty-five story high ship set sail. Luxury was the main feature of the Titanic
In 1912, there was a big ship build which went by the name of The Titanic. According to Titanic sinks (2010), it had a length of 882 ft. long, a height of 175 ft. and its weight was 46,000 Tons. To build this gorgeous ship it took 3,000 men about 3 years to finish it. The ship was supposed to make its journey from Southampton, England to New York City, NY. A journey that was never reached.
The sinking of the Titanic has become one of the most well-known disasters in history, because of the terrible loss of life and the demise of what everyone believed was an "unsinkable" ship. As is evident from reading this report the use of substandard rivets was the main cause of the failure of the Titanic. By substandard we mean that the type of rivets used was incorrect as well as the location of these rivets.
The sinking of the Titanic was one of the biggest disasters in human history, which led to a public outrage due to extreme loss of life. There were a lot of special hearings about the causes of disaster, lack of lifeboats, conduct of officers on board, and the treatment of third-class passengers. In 1985, the discovery of wreckage site allowed scientists to carry out expeditions to the ship to do forensic study on this engineering tragedy. As a result, scientists performed visual and sonar imaging, recovered samples of hull steel and rivets to do their investigation on the Titanic. Furthermore, the properties of metallic rivet samples were analyzed to determine if they met specifications set at the time of her construction [21]. The report
Would you want to raise the Titanic and preserve it or let it rust till it's dust. I am one who wants to raise this historical place and preserve it. Raising the Titanic and rebuilding it into a floating museum would be an educational, and help others take in how massive it was. But everything has something that could be bad and have a terrible consequences. Raising the Titanic could be dangerous and it could collapse. The family, of the passengers that boarded the Titanic, could be given back the belongings that rightfully belong to them.
"Come see the unsinkable ship!” the townspeople cried out. They were, of course, talking about the White Star Line’s newest vessel, the Titanic. At eight hundred eighty-three feet long and ninety-two feet wide, the Titanic’s first voyage was packed full, starboard to port, with two thousand, two hundred, twenty-eight people on board. There were three hundred thirty-seven people in first class, two hundred eighty-five in second class, seven hundred twenty-one people in third class, and eight hundred eighty-five crew members. Even without the people, the Titanic weighed 46,328 tons. The vessel was one hundred and four feet in height and had twenty lifeboats. The architect, Thomas Andrews, was aboard the ship during its first and last catastrophic trans-Atlantic voyage.
Passengers on board the Titanic are asleep. The day is April 15, 1912 the time is 12:30 am and the Titanic just hit an iceberg. Nobody knows this, but in two hours less than half of the people on board are going to live while the other half will perish in the deathly cold sea and the Titanic will descend to her grave at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. The people involved with Titanic got arrogant by not adding enough lifeboats, ignoring the iceberg warnings, and not leaving the ship until it was too late.
On April 14, 1912 – April 15, 1912 the world famous titanic sank, this tragedy has impacted our world we live in today and also history in so many ways and in my essay you will see how the titanic sank, the life after for the few people who survived. In my essay you will also learn about the making of the titanic and the fun events during the process. I became interested with this event when I was told to write a essay on a historical event I knew a little bit of background on this topic before I started but after I thought about it I then realized how much it has affected so many people in our world today. Then after I started researching this topic I thought it would also be cool to do the making of the titanic. So hopefully after you read
Would you like to see the Titanic in a museum? I think we should put the Titanic in a museum. Here are some reasons why I think we should. It would be a huge history lesson for the people that visit the museum. The families who had family die in the sinking could get some of their family members belongings back.
After one century prolific in rulemaking and novel technologies still, the rate and severity of marine accidents did not meet the expectations
Titanic is one of the outstanding/ phenomenal movie ever created. It is a best romantic film ever produced. Titanic is filled with love, romance, drama, excitement, etc. It is by far the best romantic movie I have ever seen. Although I saw the movie on the 60 inch Samsung in my room while eating popcorn. It was quite and dark. I really feel like it was the best experience that I ever had because there was no one around me. There was no noise of crying baby, there were no people behind you whispering to each other. It was calm and relaxing.
