I had always wondered what it would feel like to ride the Titanic! It all started on May blabla 2016 in New York City. My mom and I were in the middle of a tour of the Statue of Liberty when all of a sudden I lost my mom. I looked everywhere! That’s when I found a orangish-yellow door. “I might as well look in here.” I said to myself while I walked through the door. It took me a few minutes to figure out that I was inside the eternal flame! There were little buttons, rods, wheels, and levers in the eternal flame. I spinned one of the wheels and it landed on 1912. “Weird” I thought. The walls were transparent with a tint of orange so I had a great view of New York. I digged in my pocket to take a picture of the view with my phone. That’s when

    It was a warm rainy June night the humidity was high which made it even harder to breathe on the crammed boat. My family was asleep on the constantly rocking boat suddenly the boat shook, but my family was still fast asleep. I couldn’t seem to fall asleep so I got up and stepped out on the cold wet steel boats upper deck to get some air. When I got outside I realized that it was pouring bucket sized rain. I saw increasingly large waves crash furiously against the lower deck. Hard water droplets pelted my face, I could taste the salt water in my mouth from the spray of the ocean. Suddenly A massive wave slammed hard against the ship and almost swallowed the boat. Wind gusts started kicking up. I held onto the rail grasping it as if it were my prized possession. Suddenly I was blown

    The Titanic: Why Would it Sink The Titanic claimed to be the ship of its time; one that would never sink. However, what the Titanic claimed to be was not the case because on April 15, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg, broke in half, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. There has been debate ever since that fateful day as to how this happened to the Titanic. Some conspiracy theorists believe the ship never even sank -- regardless of whether the ship remains at the bottom of the ocean. Other conspiracy theorists believe the Titanic was actually switched to the RMS Olympic because of an insurance scam.

  • Essay On The Causes Of The Titanic

    846 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine you’re peacefully sailing along on a giant cruise liner in the middle of the ocean. But suddenly, you feel a shaking and the boat starts to tip. But how could this be? This boat is supposed to be unsinkable. People run to the far side of the boat, trying to avoid impending doom. Panic sets in aboard the Titanic. There are many theories of the cause of this loss of life, but I believe that the primary cause of catastrophic loss of life on the Titanic was the poor communication between crew members because a critical iceberg warning was never delivered to the captain, the Titanic was traveling at full speed in an ice field, and the captain of the ship was very relaxed about the iceberg, making it not seem like a threat.

The zone around North Atlantic Ocean. This was traumatic time/date. The Titanic had sunk and lots of people died 1,503 to be exact. But these people were rude, raw and blunt. And also the rude rich ones ended up dying. But not all of them died. It is kind of funny because the rude rich people were the ones that died. AKA people like Jack Jill and Bob Blob. The Titanic was on her maiden voyage, a return trip from Britain to America. The route was Southampton, England – Cherbourg, France – Queenstown, Ireland – New York, USA.

  • Titanic And The Titanic Disaster

    2631 Words  | 6 Pages

    The tragic history of the Titanic, the sinking of the “unsinkable” giant of a ship shocked the entire world and contributed to important shifts in the mass consciousness of the people who lived at that period and assessed the achievements of new technologies and their role. However, one would have been hardly able to predict in 1912 that this tragedy, no matter how significant and meaningful, would leave such a deep imprint on the history of human civilization. The continuing interest in the fate of the great vessel has taken the form of various narrations and given rise to numerous myths enveloping the true history and, in this way, often obscuring the facts related to the tragedy. In recent years, this interest has been emphasized by the dramatic discovery of the wreck and examination of its remains. The recovery of artifacts from the Titanic and the exploration of the site where it had sank stimulated new speculations on different issues of the failure to rescue the Titanic and the role of different factors contributing to the disaster. These issues have been traditionally in the focus of discussions that caused controversies and ambiguous interpretations of various facts. They also often overshadowed other parts of the disaster story that were confirmed by statistical data and revealed the impact of social realities. The social stratification of passengers that reflected the social realities of the period and its class interests determined the chances of survival, with most of those perished in the Titanic disaster having been lower class individuals.

One was when people felt the jolt from the collision with the ice berg people didn’t suspect what tragedy was to come. A girl named Marguerite Frolicher, who was accompanying her father on a business trip, woke up with a jump since she was half asleep she was thinking about ‘little white lake ferries’ landing sloppily which made her laugh and thought to herself “Isn’t it funny…we’re landing!”. They really did...

    The Titanic set voyage on April 1912 to New York. The Titanic and its sister ships, Olympia and Britannic were said to be virtually unsinkable by a magazine article, not the White Star Line. The Titanic was the second ship to set sail on its maiden voyage out of the three sister ships. The Titanic had been built a lot differently than most of the ships back then. For example, a normal ship was built with three funnels but the Titanic had four. The fourth funnel did not serve the same purpose like the other three; its use was for steam to be released from the kitchen. Another example was that the Titanic was the biggest ship at the time. The ship had received ice warnings at least six different times from ships but Captain Smith had ignored

    Most of you have probably heard about the Titanic, but how many of you have heard of the Olympic? Did you know that the Titanic and Olympic were really the embodiment of one man’s vision to make his company the top shipping company on the North Atlantic run between Europe and the New World? That man was Mr. Bruce Ismay and he had a bold dream to build the grandest ocean liners the world had ever seen. And today I will share how I learned under FLDS that Ismay’s vision and dream was extrinsically motivated by profit. Also I will discuss how his vision was willed into reality by incorporating elements of Change Management. However, Ismay ultimately doomed the future of his company by becoming the single point of failure for his company by not applying Change Management to its end state.

    Within the context of film industry, the film Titanic by James Cameron belongs to epic romance/ disaster genre. The film, released in 1997, was a global box office hit because the director provided equal importance to history, fiction and romance.

On the other side, the main characters including the protagonist and the heroine (Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater/Dawson) are fictional characters.
