Magnificent Ship: RMS Titanic
RMS Titanic was a magnificent ship.

3000 men took 3 years in Belfast to build the RMS Titanic at Hartland and Wolff shipyard.

I can imagine the pride when they saw the completed ship.

If you told them that their effort of three years would come to waste in the first journey of RMS Titanic, they would not believe it.

They would want to see RMS Titanic sailed for a hundred years.

As fate would have it, RMS Titanic did not even complete one journey in its short lifespan of four days.

The effort of 3000 men working hard for three years was no match for an iceberg.

If RMS Titanic did not sink, it would still make history for being one of the largest cruise liners to sail the oceans.

    In August, 1807, a steamboat designed by Robert Fulton successfully completed the first round trip voyage from New York to Albany and back (Steamboats, par 1). This voyage started an obsession for advancement in steam travel that reached across the Atlantic and into the minds of the British people. Their quest to always out-do their competitors eventually led to the creation of one of the most famous steamboats of all time. The Titanic was the most luxurious ship that had ever been built. It could not compete with the speed of other steamships, however, so the English decided to compensate by creating the largest and most elaborate ship the world had ever seen (Sinking, par 3). The Titanic was financed by an American company, International Mercantile Marine, which purchased White Star Lines, the British marine company responsible for building the Titanic. The ship, however, was built totally with British technology, registered as a British ship, and manned by British officers (Sinking, par 2). The Titanic launched its first voyage from Southampton, England on the evening of April 14, 1912 (Sinking, par 1). It was traveling to New York when it struck an iceberg and sank, killing fifteen hundred people. The superiority of the Titanic will always be overshadowed, however, by the memory of one of the greatest disasters of all…

    The most powerful aspect of the film The Titanic is not the love story. It is not the grand staircase, or the luxurious dining room. It is not the interaction between characters, or the extravagant “Heart of the Ocean.” The most powerful aspect of The Titanic is that it actually happened. At the end of the film, there were 1,502 dead bodies sinking and in the freezing salt water of the Atlantic. No “story-truth,” no matter how elaborate, could create a greater tragedy than a “happening-truth.” Why not? Since “story-truths” are not as true as “happening-truths.”…

    Fredrick Fleet was the workman on guard on the Titanic on April 14. Fleet, had warned the personnel on the ship’s control deck to look out for icebergs that night, yet nobody was at the control panel that fateful night (McPherson 6). The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable when it was built in 1911. “More than 2,200 people were now aboard the Titanic including 1,300 passengers” (Senan 16). The location the Titanic deported from was Great Britain and it was headed to New York. After three long days of sailing on the North Atlantic, they stopped in Ireland. A few days later, the ship crashed into an iceberg that had made it’s way into North Atlantic from Greenland (Fahey 4). Many people went back to their rooms to get their valuables from down below (Lord 60). Most historians say that they don’t know the exact number of passengers that were on the Titanic because, there was no accurate list of them. The Titanic was a major disaster but could have been prevented if workers were at their stations.…
