The Titanic and her sinking tragedy

The Titanic, often referred to as the ‘unsinkable’ ship, has recorded the deadliest maritime

tragedy in the history of U.S.A, and the entire global society. Although it was a massive disaster,

the fact that the Titanic tragic has proven inspiring to thousands of people throughout the world

remains. Until now, the story of the sinking of the unsinkable ship, the Titanic, still captivate vast

audiences in their diverse capacities. This is because, the whole phenomena was encrypted with a

number of concepts among them love, dramatic irony, and most notably the tragedy itself. With

those significant events associated to the Titanic, its history has become a matter of massive

significance to the history of the U.S., and has motivated many more specialists to keep finding

information about it.

The Titanic was a passenger liner from the United Kingdom, and sunk in the Northern

part of the Ocean of Atlantic in 1912, April 15. This terrible ordeal occurred when the ship

collided with a huge iceberg in her journey, from Southampton in the United Kingdom to the

New York City in the U.S. The sinking of this enormous ship led to the loss of more than 1500

persons; thus, becoming the deadliest tragedy to ever occur on water body in the global history.

By the time the Titanic entered into service, it was the biggest water-travelling vessel

worldwide. Moreover, it was the second largest ship among the three Ocean Liners categorized

as the Olympic class. The White Star Line was the operator of this prestigious ship .The Titanic

was as well operated by The RMS Titanic was designed by a naval architect, Thomas Andrews

then constructed by the Shipyard of the Wolff and Harland in Belfast. At the moment of the

tragedy, the RMS Titanic had carried 2,224 passengers together with the crew, and Andrew was

among the people who succumbed to their death due to that.

The Titanic had carried some of the wealthiest persons in the world, and hundreds of

emigrants from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia, and throughout the European

continent, who were in search for new livelihoods in the Northern part of the U.S. The epitome

of luxury and comfort in the Titanic, which was the first class accommodation, included an on-

board gymnasium, libraries, high-class restaurants, swimming pool, and the opulent carbines.

This section of the ship also had a wireless telegraph, which worked for the wellbeing of the

passengers as well as that of the operators of the vessel.

In as much as the Titanic had complex features of safety among them the watertight

compartments and the remotely activated welterweight doors, it happened that it did not have

sufficient lifeboats, which could accommodate all its passengers in case of a tragedy. It is a given

that within the ship was only 1178 lifeboats, a number that was slightly more than half the total

population it was carrying at that particular moment, and just a third of her total capacity. Before

the Titanic sunk, it had been on action for four consecutive days. It had left Southampton on

1912, April 10, sailed to Cherbourgin, France; then Queenstown in Ireland; and was on its way to

New York City in America. On 14 April of the same year, the Titanic had covered an

approximate distance of 600 kilometers, which is equivalent to 375 miles.

These glancing collisions made the ship hull its plates, buckle to the inside, more so,

along the side of the starboard, and spoilt 5 out of her 16 compartments of watertight to the sea.

Based on that, the ship was gradually filled with water, a phenomenon that triggered the

evacuation of passengers and some members of the crew using the lifeboats. The loading of

lifeboats was somehow biased, as men were left behind in favor for women and children, who

were perceived more vulnerable in the situation. At 2.20 am of the same day, the Titanic did

break apart and foundered. At this time, it had more than one thousand people still in the ship.
