Estonia By:Hannah Day

As a passenger on the Estonia ship wreck changed my life.

The day I got on the ship I never thought about it being the deadliest ship wreck of the 20th century.

Being on a ship out in the middle of the Baltic Sea and having the fear of dying is not what you planed on happening when stepping on to the ship.

I will never forget that day cause my life will never be the same.

The day my life changed I had to become someone I didn’t want to be.

I had to fight to stay alive and let go of the people I was close to.

Seeing the pain and fear in a friends eyes from suffering is the last thing I wanted to see.

Being the person who made it through the wreck is a

1994 was a year that many of crises came about and harmed and destroyed many of people and families.

The 20th century was a time when people that got affected by this wrecked had to slowly put their life back together.

When you step on a ship your not thinking about a plan if the ship sinks.

Out in the middle of the sea there’s not much you can do when a ship is sinking.

Having fear and crying out loud when you know your going to drown and breath in all water is a painful way of dying.

I would never step back on to a shit.

Knowing everyday my life will never be the same ill have to think of the things that not many other people has seen or see on a daily base.

Many of people don’t experience thing like this everyday and, many of people hasn’t had the fear of being on a sinking ship and, dying.

Something’s you can forget and move on from but ill never be able to forget the scared unhappy people I seen the day I thought I was going lose my life.

Thinking back to the day I wish I could made a difference in ones persons life and gave them the opportunity I had and got them to rescue as many people as

    The major lesson that was taken from this tragic event is that no matter how great or ready your crew or leadership is, bad things can happen at any time and it’s out of anyone’s control. Captain McVay’s actions of taking ownership of the sinking of the ship even though it was out of his control models the values of being a commanding officer. No matter what happens, good or bad, a captain will always be responsible for the safety of their ship and crew. This event also reminded us that complacency can set in and procedural compliance must always be followed even if there is no imminent hazard nearby. As a result of the casualties, the Navy mandated an escort ship for a crew greater than 500 crewmembers, mandatory reporting of the ship if five hours late, and improved lifesaving equipment by converting life rafts into colorful self-released rafts, with added emergency equipment such as parachute flairs. Last but not least, the bravery and sacrifice of the ship’s crew is a reminder of what the men and women in the service have to…

    On May 1, 1915, the Lusitania, a luxury, British ocean liner set sail out of New York, bound for Liverpool. Captain Turner read the paper earlier that morning appending that the Germans made an admonitory stating that they had submarines in the Atlantic that haven’t given their location. Nobody was worried, as everyone presumed that the Lusitania was the safest, most sturdy ship ever built! Only two people canceled due to the warning. Captain Turner had nothing to be worried about, so he thought. Before seafaring, family and friends were allowed on the ship to say their farewells to the passengers. After beginning the voyage, everyone began to get settled in. First class passengers had tons of suitcases full of heirlooms and expensive items.…

    One of the choices I made would be to be a more caring and helpful person. I was always both caring and helpful, but just sometimes and to certain people. I really like helping people and caring for them, I know it makes them happy, so it makes me happy. Even though I have a lot going on in my life, I like to be a caring person; it helps everyone out a little bit. If I could tell everyone in the world one thing, it would be: “Do things to your best ability and help those that need help, or a…

    Ever wondered what it was like to be on the Titanic while it was sinking? How did it feel and what happened? There were many survivors and many non survivors. It was a tragic event in our history that most people remember. It was not fun or enjoyable, it was terrifying for most.

    The boat comes to a stop, drop the anchor, says the captain of the boat. My stomach just jumped into my throat, we are here, and I am really going to do this! I suit up, and then we all jump in for the dive. I keep looking at my regulator, making sure I was doing ok on air, I give the signal stating that I am doing ok. I look around, not much to see but a few fish and some coral. It all seems so beautiful, crystal clear, bright yellow and blue fish, pink corral wrapped in such gorgeous turquoise green seaweed, with all the beauty there was surely nothing I have to worry about. I notice that I am starting to breathe a bit heavily as I get closer and closer to the ocean floor. I make it down and looking around once again at all the gadgets I have attached to me, everything looks ok until I see how far down we were, 80 feet! I screech in my head. I knew if something happened I was for sure going to want to race to the top, but at the same time I have to keep myself calm so I wouldn’t. I know what the consequences were if I were to do such a thing. Knowing that a horrible pain through my ears and a bubble that could form under the skin from trying to go to the surface to quickly was what was keeping me at the bottom.…

    You’re worried about your ships. Your mind is getting tossed around in the ocean with them, but they’re fine. They’re like huge parade floats on the sea. They’re so big they look down on the smaller ships, which all have to bow and then get out of the way. Your ships fly like birds past those tiny little boats.…

    After a near-death experience one might think “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” What they should be thinking about is what got them into a near-death situation in the first place. Several years ago I had been working in Europe for more than 200 days straight. I was sick of the cold, dreary weather I was forced to endure day in and day out in the north of England. So when my friends suggested that I join them on vacation to go scuba diving in the Cayman Islands, I jumped at the chance to go. What I didn’t know at the time was that I would learn a valuable lesson - to trust my instincts and not to give into peer pressure.…
