The Titanic Sang

The Lusitania was destroyed in the same was as the Titanic as they could not pull the boats into the sea and water kept rushing into the hull through the front where the torpedo hit as the boat couldn’t be stopped.The Lusitania was torpedoed by the German submarine U-20 on May 7, 1915. 1198 people died of a total of 1959 people on the boat. The ship sunk in 18 minutes. Second most famous passenger liner after the Titanic. It was destroyed 8 miles from the coast of Old head of Kinsale, Ireland.

Many believe that the captain failed the passengers and crew of the Titanic. He failed to heed ice warnings, failed to slow his ship when ice was reported directly in his path and allowed lifeboats to leave the sinking ship partially filled, unnecessarily adding at least five hundred names to the list of the dead. In the confusion during the precious hours before the Titanic sank, nearly every boat would be launched woefully under-filled, some with only a handful of passengers. Subsequent inquiries attributed the high loss of life to not having enoughlack ofsta lifeboats and inadequate training in their

None of them realized yet that by the time the first hours of daylight came, the Titanic would be gone, along with two-thirds of her passengers and crew. When the passengers realized their impending doom, it was already too late: lifeboats had been launched. After the sinking of the Titanic, many people believed it was simple bad fortune and found no legal negligence. Many have argued since the sinking about what the actual major factors were for the loss of lives on this ship. The major loss of lives on the Titanic is due to a combination of improper precautionary methods, poor weather conditions, and poor response overall to the situation.

On 14 April, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time. The Titanic made an impact, two hours and 40 minutes later, the boat was lost in the ocean forever. Just like Jack Jill, and Bob Blob. They tried to get on a rescue boat and they were being selfish and wanted to be the first people to get a lifeboat so they knew they would survive and so Tyrone T. lll stayed behind. So then they got on a lifeboat and it ended up sinking/freezing because of how many people were on it.

Many problems occurred on the Titanic before and after the journey abruptly stopped. Part of the Titanic’s disaster happened because Captain Smith made a few blunders. If advice was given to the captain, the Titanic could have been saved from sinking. The Titanic will forever be a reminder of a sea accident at its worst which will hopefully not be

Some say the boat was speeding others say it was just an accident. The iceberg was spotted at eleven thirty ish p.m. even though the ship did not have a dead on collision the side of the ship violently scrapped the iceberg ripping open six compartments. The ship was designed to withstand only four compartments to flood. We all know why the Titanic sunk, and why over half the passengers died. But what could have been done to prevent this tragedy.

A crew member received multiple warnings the night of the accident but chose not to listen (Ballard 18). Not only he caused the boat to sink, but there was also a defect when the people first built the Titanic. “...the individual bulkheads were indeed watertight...so water could pour from one compartment into another, especially if the ship began to list or pitch forward,” (History.com 1). If the Titanic were to hit something and somehow move upside down, the ship would flood from the very front. The third cause of the disaster was the reliability of the radio.

The iceberg did have a small role in the sinking, as well as multiple other small things, but the main cause for the ship’s descent was a fire that began before the ship first took off on April 10th. The unsinkable ship was essentially doomed from the start. The path to failure started when the RMS Titanic was being built. The hull

The RMS Titanic, known as the Ship of Dreams, collided with an iceberg and sunk in the early hours of April 15, 1912. The boat, which was the most luxurious of her time, was set to sail from Southampton, England to New York City. Out of the 2,240 passengers on the boat during her maiden voyage, approximately 1,500 survived on the 20 lifeboats available. a controversial topic that is still debated today is whether or not the disaster of the Titanic could have been avoided. There is considerable evidence to suggest that this statement is true, but to what extent is still being decided today.

It is long said that the start of SOLAS was the sinking of the Titanic and similar can be said about the start of the ISM code and the sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise. The Herald of Free Enterprise was a Ro-Ro Ferry just coming out of a Port in Belgium called Zebrugge and sailing towards Dover. As the vessel was coming out of the port the Bow doors were not properly shut, this combined with the ships speed caused lots of water to come onboard and sunk the vessel within minutes. The Assistant Boatswain who was in charge of closing the Bow doors was found to be asleep in his cabin. Although the sleeping Boatswain was directly responsible for the sinking of the ship a Public led enquiry found that he was simply the last in a long chain of failures that led to the sinking of this ship.
