Why Did The Titanic Blame

Have you ever wondered who sank the Titanic? Captain Smith was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic because he put the ship in full speed, he was ignoring the ice warnings, and there were no warnings for the people at the iceberg sighting.

On April 14, 1912 what was known as one of the safest ships, the titanic, sank.

The movie Titanic, based on personal stories from the ship’s passengers, expresses the importance of safety precautions and the division of class as well as spreading awareness of the issue. The ship set sail in April of 1912 from Southampton in United Kingdom to New York City. When it sank, about 1,500 people died. Though the main characters in the movie were fictional, there were five characters that were based off of real people who were on the ship. Margaret Brown, Archibald Gracie, Captain Edward John Smith, Thomas Andrews and Joseph Bruce Ismay were those five. The captain of the ship was Edward John Smith, and his personal story is shown throughout the movie. Smiths’ attempts to save lives were not

Mary Bou Literature 7 4/16/15 Being a captain of a ship is a tough job, especially when you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing. Captain John Smith was the captain of the Titanic. He was the captain of many other ships in a series called the White Star Line. The White Star Line is a series of ships, and he was a captain of some of those. The Titanic was kind of a disaster because as captain, Edward J. Smith’s role in the sinking of the Titanic included the fact that his boat did not meet the safety standards; he did not heed the ice burg alerts, and yet he chose to go down with the ship.

In my opinion, if the captain would have listened to the warnings instead of placing the piece of paper in his coat pocket, they might have been able to change course again for a little while until they passed the ice and survived. A couple days before they left England, Captain Smith decided to alter slightly his route because of the many iceberg warnings that he received. The entire day of April 14, 1912 (the day of the sinking), Captain Smith was still receiving iceberg warnings from the other ships around her. They were all saying the same thing: the route he switched to had large amounts of ice floating about. Ignorantly, the Captain did not heed their warnings very well and did not re change it. He did, however, tell the watchmen to tell him if they saw anything ahead of them that could be potentially dangerous.

The Titanic was known as the “unsinkable” ship, yet it was taken down by an iceberg while it was carrying 2,208 passengers and crew. The ship took a year to design and two years to build, and the launch of the massive ship was a heavily publicized spectacle whose profits went to a local children’s hospital. Stanley Lord is at fault for more than 1,500 lives lost on April 15, 1912, at 2:20 am. Lord thought the flair signals were “company rockets”, he broke the law while he was captain of the S.S. Californian, and he lied about where the S.S. Californian was when the Titanic sank. Stanley Lord broke the law while he was captain of the S.S. Californian.

Have you ever wondered who sank the Titanic ? I feel that the history of the Titanic is important because all of the people on the Titanic would either die or they would live and it was their decision. I care about all of the people that were on the Titanic and passed away and I think you should care about them too. I suppose that Captain Smith was responsible for the sinking of the Titanic because he ignored the 7 iceberg warnings, he also didn’t slow down the ship and he didn’t fill up the lifeboats completely. Here are some reason why I consider that Captain Smith sank the Titanic.

This tragedy could have been avoided if the crew had not over estimated the largest ship in the world, built by a work force of 17,000 people. The designers and crew overlooked many details on the ship knowing that if this ship had ever sunk that they would not be ready for the rescue. The Titanic was considered unsinkable by just about everyone, including Paul Smith the captain of the boat. The crew and the builders of this ship had considered no worries about the Titanic, so they were not fully planned for this destruction (Ballard 11). The radio workers for the Titanic were not even on twenty-four hour surveillance. The workers of the ship thought that they did not need them there because they thought that nothing could go wrong. There was a "…planned preparation rescue effort"(The Titanic) that was meant for the crewmembers to go through many times. This preparation effort was only gone through one, the day before the maiden voyage. If the workers would of considered the massive Titanic as any other boat, they might have taken the correct precautions and more people might

On that night April 14: 11:40 p.m. The lookouts spot an iceberg with their bare eyes straight ahead and they veered to the left to hope to miss the iceberg. Little did the passengers know that they hit the iceberg but up front there was a loud SKREECH! Down in the coal bunker the man was right there when the side of the boat busted open and after a while five compartments had filled but the ship could only float with four compartments filled that meant that they had only 2 hours to to get everyone off the boat. After the Titanic sank there was hundreds of people got locked in and some lived and got rescued while Captain Smith went down with the ship.

Why the issuance of countless codes, rules, best practices and guidelines, the outburst of marine colleges, institutions, governmental offices and committees, the strictness on certification, investigation, inspections and control, did not succeed their safety purpose? Still the Titanic tragedy did not recur after 100 years just by chance.

The Titanic was the largest ship in the world of its time. This ship was filled with people of all ages and social classes. On the night of April 15, 1912, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic struck a monstrous iceberg and as a result, 1,500 people died. James Bruce Ismay is responsible for the passing of the civilians because he left the boat when he wasn’t supposed to, he owned the Titanic, and he was so cheap when designing the ship.

In “Exploring the Titanic” by Robert D. Ballard, bad planning and bad luck caused many people to die on the Titanic, because people did not know what to do and everything was happening so fast. In the story, “Sensing trouble, Ruth’s mother looked out of the door of their second class cabin and asked a steward what had happened. He told her that nothing was the matte, so Mrs. Becker went back to bed.” That shows that the people who worked there, didn’t tell any of their passengers so when trouble came where they had to evacuate, all the passengers didn’t know what to do. Also another example is “Poking her head out of the cabin, she found a steward and asked what the matter was. “Put on your things and come at once” said the steward. “Do we

This is not saying that the iceberg did not have a huge impact on the sinking of the ship; however, think about how many lives could have been saved if it was not for the ignorance of the crew members.

During the time of her construction, Titanic was the largest, grandest, safest, and most technologically advanced ship during her time. Her designers and engineers set out to build a class of ocean liners that could compete against White Star Line’s rival company, Cunard. However, when Titanic, the second of her sister ships sunk on her maiden voyage, it shook the world and it had a major impact on the world and its people. One of the main effects was the effect on safety regulations. Titanic only carried enough lifeboats to sustain roughly half of the passengers and crew on board. At the time, Titanic actually exceeded the amount of the lifeboats required by the British Board of Trade regulations by 10 percent.

On April 14, 1912, with 1316 passengers and 891 crew members, the Titanic left on it’s Maiden Voyage for New York City. Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee were on duty in the crow's nest and being the “lookouts” they did see an iceberg, but seeing that the ship was “unsinkable” they felt that there was no need to sound an alarm. Some passengers aboard were still wide awake; playing cards or enjoying the gorgeous scenery. While many others were already sound asleep. Around 11:40 that night some people heard a grinding noise coming from the inside of the ship. Then word got around that they had hit an iceberg! But not very many seemed worried and soon, everyone carried on. Soon they realized that the collision was a lot worse than had been anticipated, Captain Smith and some crew members went to check the damage, as they did the crew came to find out that the iceberg had caused a gash in the side of boiler room! This forced the boat to be evacuated. But the Titanic only had enough row boats for a fraction of the passengers. People went back into their rooms and took things that were most valuable to them. At 12:15 A.M. the first wireless call for help was made. The crew would have to act fast otherwise, the Titanic would soon be under the Atlantic,
