Titanic On the morning, April 12, 1912, Marcus and his family were going to the Titanic. While they were going there Marcus was a little bit of a troublemaker but his mom Martha was telling him to behave, so when Marcus was walking to the Titanic his little sister Lucy was wanting to get something to play with. So while Lucy was whining Marcus was getting annoyed and decided to get her something to play with. When Marcus got Lucy a toy to play with, Marcus had to catch up to their mother so they could go to the Titanic. When they got there, they went to there room and it was a good thing because Marcus needed to go to the bathroom. So after that Marcus decided to steal something to eat for later since he was a troublemaker and all. When …show more content…
He was still mad over what happened yesterday, so he went to get something to eat for breakfast, so got some Crunchy Loggs to eat for breakfast. Right after that Marcus decided to go and find where his mom was and sister was too, but they were both were just sleeping since they were both at a party. So Marcus was just was reading a comic book called, Tarzan of the apes. When that happened, he was to sweaty and decided to take a shower. So when he took a shower his mother came home with her daughter and Marcus thought it was some random person coming to his room and steal him, but it was his mother Martha. Marcus was this close to hit her in the face. So Marcus was super scared about what he was going to do. Lucy was afraid of Marcus about what he was going to do. So Marcus went out of the room and got some money from his mother and then got something to eat for himself. When he got done eating, he went out in the Titanic and looked in the ocean and thought of his father which died in a boat that exploded a long time ago and then his mother came and Marcus said to his mother, ‘’ I miss father alot.’’ So his mother felt the same also for him. Now they both went back inside because it was getting dark. When they were both in the room, Martha told Marcus some stories of his father in his job as a doctor which Martha was glad that he was a doctor because she …show more content…
Marcus already ate and he decided to go out hang around but when he did that he bumped into girl named Bella and he told her, ‘’I’m so sorry are you okay.’’ She replied, ‘’I’m okay and you got to look out ok, and you’re forgiven.’’ ‘’ I’m Marcus what’s your name.’’ Marcus said. ‘’I’m Bella.’’ She said. ‘’Wow that’s a beautiful name.’’ He said. ‘’Thanks I appreciate it.’’ She said. ‘’Your welcome.’’ He said. ‘’Well I have to go ok see you later, bye.’’ She said. ‘’Bye, see you later.’’ He said. They both left to their parents. Marcus went to his room all happy and his mother was surprised about Marcus, because she didn’t know what going on with Marcus and Lucy didn’t know either about Marcus being happy and all. Marcus was all happy and then Martha came to his room and said,’’ Why are you acting strange.’’ Marcus couldn’t say anything because he couldn’t stop dreaming of Bella when he first met her when they both bumped into each other. Marcus slept a little too early dreaming of Bella and his mother just ignored him when he was sleeping. When Martha saw him sleeping she was just happy and then she went to her room and then she looked and her family photo and kept thinking of her husband Mark. She said ‘’Oh Mark I wish you were here right now with us.’’ Martha went to the kitchen and saw Lucy asleep in the kitchen, when Martha saw her she carried Lucy to her room
“The Wreck of the Sea-Venture,” written by Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker in their book Many Headed Hydra, tells the story of the shipwreck of the Sea-Venture en route to Virginia in 1669, which left the passengers of the ship stranded on Bermuda without a ship to continue the journey to Virginia. While the members of the Virginia Company made a boat to continue the journey, the remaining passengers of the Sea-Venture had to cooperate with one another in order to survive. The authors’ thesis in this document is the shipwreck of the Sea-Venture and the actions taken by the sailors portray the themes of early Atlantic settlement. For example, the sailing of the Sea-Venture was caused by expropriation. The Virginia Company advertised the New
The sinking of the Lusitania was a tragic event. It occurred on May 7th, 1915 in the North Atlantic ocean. The famous British ocean liner had departed from New York City and was off the coast of Ireland when a German submarine fired torpedoes. The ship had roughly 1,900 passengers on board, most of which were American citizens. The ship was meant for passengers and not for cargo but as lots of reporters have stated there was in fact a handful of war materials aboard the ship which was kept secret from its passengers.Prior to the sinking the Germans had declared that the waters around the British Isles were considered to be a war zone.1 This war zone idea was backed by the fact that the Germans admitted to enforce unrestricted submarine warfare; meaning if you were in the water you were getting blown up with or without prior knowledge. It took a total of eighteen minutes for the Lusitania, in its entirety, to disappear beneath the waves of the North Atlantic ocean.2 After the ship had sunk the American press had openly and with lots of determination and passion deemed the event uncivilized. However, the Lusitania was not the only ship that was torpedoed. A year later in 1916 the Sussex, an unarmed French passenger ship was sunk by another German submarine. 3
Would you risk your life to do something you loved and save someone’s life at the same time? That is what Mr. John Wesley Woodward did as it was explained by Stephanie Jenkins in “Mr. John Wesley Woodward.” Woodward was a cellist on the Titanic when it sank. “R.M.S Titanic,” by Hanson W. Baldwin explains what happened to have caused the ship to sink. Unfortunately, Woodward did not survive. “A History in Numbers,” by Dave Fowler, explains how he could have survived, but Wesley gave up his spot on the lifeboats and gave them to the people that could have kept from the ship sinking; all they had to do was listen.
I am writing my first entry aboard this incredible vessel today, primarily because I have been spending the last three days exploring the sections open to my fellow third-class passengers and I. What I have seen is extraordinary, especially when first boarding the ship. The halls and staircases of the first class section were like nothing I had ever seen before in my life. They were blanketed in luxury from end to end. The first class passengers I had managed to see wore their best garments boarding the ship and were conversing with each other about their rich lives back home. I believe I even saw Mr. John Jacob Astor, a man I had heard much about for his contributions to the American fur trade. I had heard that he would be aboard for the maiden voyage of ...

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 theorist believe the ship never even sank -- regardless of the ships remains at the bottom of the ocean. Other conspiracy theorists believe the Titanic was actually switched with the RMS Olympic because of an insurance scam. Ever since that day, many scientists, engineers, and physicists have tried to analyze the problems of the Titanic; the reasons why it sank.
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.
My topic is concerning the sinking of the Lusitania. The Lusitania was a British merchant ship that had 200 Americans on board. The Germans sunk the cruiser with submarine warfare on May 7th, 1915, claiming that the ship was carrying munitions. Though the Lusitania was not a weapons-bearing ship, later investigations proved there were a few munitions on board. When the ship sank, a total of 150 of the 1,100 casualties were Americans; thus, this crisis later became war propaganda in America. President Woodrow Wilson became frustrated with the transgression on the Germans’ part and issued them a warning. He claimed that the Germans violated American rights on the high seas, and that the Germans were accountable for their breach of
The titanic was a gigantic ship. It was the biggest, newest, and advanced ship during its time. The titanic was built in Belfast with the newest and best technology. Then after its completion it would travel to New York. During the tragedy of the Titanic the engineers had a key role on saving people. Although the tragedy of the titanic was sad it taught us many lessons on preventing such a thing again. Although the titanic has sunk to the bottom of the ocean it will never be forgotten.
First, it was Captain Smith’s fault. If he wouldn’t have ignored the seven iceberg warnings from his crew and other ships the Titanic wouldn’t have sunk. Also, if he would have called for the ship to slow down this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
December 31,1877, Lawrence Beesley was born in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, England. Mr. Beesley would go on to be a scholar and science professor, a successful author, and most importantly survive the sinking of the RMS Titanic. He was a second-class passenger traveling to visit his brother in Toronto, Canada. He was very lucky due to his timing of when he reached A deck. Miraculously, no other survivors were around lifeboat 13 allowing him to board. Once back home, Mr. Beesley wrote a book titled The Loss of the SS Titanic. Inside he details his experience on the ship just 9 weeks after the incident. Lawrence was the perfect representation of a middle-class man during the gilded age being that he was a well-educated scholar, he had a white collar job, and he enjoyed the sport of golf. Without Lawrence Beesley surviving the RMS Titanic
On May the 7th 1915 the Lusitania sank, taking with it the lives of one thousand, two hundred and one people including ninety-one children and thirty-one infants. Despite the fact that it was the largest and fastest ship at that time, the German torpedo still found its mark off the South Coast of Ireland while the ship was travelling between the United States and England. The failure to prevent the tragedy despite the warnings given, the actions (or lack thereof) of the Admiralty and the neglect in ensuring that the lifeboat system and the ship itself would offer maximum protection; puts the primary blame unto the British Admiralty and the Cunard Company.
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

Everyone thinks they know the tragic story of the RMS Titanic (Titanic). Everyone thinks they know the statistics. But there is so much more than meets the eye. Few know whose fault it was that 1,518 people died or that only 706 lived. Few know the stories behind all of these people. Few know the story of the band and their last efforts to calm the passengers. Some know of Dr. Robert Ballard and his amazing discovery. And most have seen the movie. What follows is information about “that fateful night”, “that unsinkable ship”, the mysteries that even Leonardo DiCaprio did not reveal.
