Should The Titanic Be Preserved
Do you think the Titanic is important enough to be preserved? I think it should be preserved. It should be preserved because of its history. It should be preserved for the education. Also, it should be preserved so we can investigate how the tragedy could have really happened.

The titanic should be preserved because of all its delicate history. The Titanic sank on April 15,1912. Which was 105 years ago! For that reason i think it should be preserved because of it being so long ago children seem to forget. They don't focus on the past they focus on whats now. If we preserve it they wouldn't have to read about it they could walk through, look, and listen about what it was like back then on the Titanic. So if we preserve

    The 100 year anniversary drew more attention to the disaster again in 2012. If a replica of the Titanic is built, the new ship will also sink. The Titanic sank because of several factors. These included poor construction of the water-tight compartments, speeding at night when ice was known to be present, not having proper lookout equipment and carrying too much heavy cargo. Also, improper distress signals were used which cause the nearest ships to stay away and not come to help.The passengers were separated into three classes and were not allowed to socialize with each other, which led to the majority of third class passengers being locked in lower decks of the ship and they could not escape. There were not enough life-boats on the ship for all of the passengers and the crew. After the Titanic went down, the life-boats did not return in time and several people froze to death. The events of that fateful night were re-told in stories by the survivors. The disaster was felt worldwide. The Titanic was re-discovered almost 75 years after it sank using new technologies. Artifacts from the ship have been studied and a new replica ship is being made and Titanic will sail again.First Class passengers were served 11 courses at dinner time and with each course drank a new glass of wine. Third class passengers were more laid back and enjoyed gathering in the large meeting room and playing instruments and dancing all night. The ship carried a lot of cargo including vehicles, paintings, trunks of clothing, and furniture. The Titanic also, “carried 44,000 pieces of cutlery, 29,000 glasses and 57,600 plates and bowls.” It cost $4,350 dollars to buy the most expensive first class ticket aboard the ship. This is equivalent to $69,600 dollars in today's money. In its day the Titanic cost $7.5 million dollars to build and in today’s money…

    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…

    If the Titanic wasn’t created, the historical event of its sinking would be forgotten or would be only a faint memory of what happened that day. The most acknowledgement the event would receive is maybe, two or three pages in a history text-book. Everyone knows the story, that on April 15…

    As I said earlier April 14th, 1912 will go down in history as a day when disaster struck. Not only was it the largest and most luxurious/expensive liner at the time. Along with its sinking, more than half of its passengers were buried at sea. Its sinking later introduced a new era of realism where people began to understand even the GREATEST TECHNOLGY WAS NOT PERFECT, and there was and will never be no such thing as an “unsinkable…

    The wrecked “Titanic” was searched for and located by Robert Ballard in 1985 (The Ship That Never Sunk). Upon review of the footage and pictures of the wreck, the propeller caught the attention of many. The propeller was clearly stamped with the number 401 (The Ship That Never Sunk). This number was the ID given to the Titanic during its construction. Although this seemingly proves that the Titanic really is the wreck at the bottom of the ocean, supposedly the Olympic's propeller was damaged in the crash with the HMS Hawke.…

    Questionable events arose after the sinking because the only evidence about that night was the stories told by the few survivors. It was known that on April 10th 1912, the Titanic set sail on her first voyage from Southampton. On April 14th at 11:40 p.m. the ship struck an iceberg on her starboard side of the bow. On April 15th at 2:20 a.m., the Titanic 's broken off stern sank into the sea (Amy 2). For many people, it was hard to believe that the largest ship ever built had sunk on its maiden voyage. Since it was thought that Titanic could stay afloat with even the hardest of impacts it was hard to imagine that the Titanic went down just because of an iceberg that scratched her bow. Therefore, the world was shocked the morning of April 15th when news broke out that Titanic had gone down in less than three hours. A recently uncovered family secret has revealed new information as to why the Titanic sank so rapidly. Today, the Titanic lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in two pieces and a big debris field surrounding two square miles. The shipwreck site is one of the deepest places on Earth to be explored and has brought us new knowledge about the tragic events of April 15thas well as biological processes currently occurring…

    "I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy." (quotedb) This quote by John Adams, the second president of the United States, illustrates the importance of history and its study. For this reason it is crucial to promote the preservation of historic sites and articles. War has been one of the most defining moments of our country 's early beginnings. A crucial part of these conflicts was the war at sea and the vessels involved. They represented our nation valiantly and deserve to be remembered. Therefore several of these ships have been preserved to teach our younger generations of the great history of our nation. Two of these noble ships are the USS Constitution and the USS Brig Niagara. Both ships saw action in the War of 1812 and were instrumental in protecting our rights against British oppression. These ships have long since been surpassed by more technologically advanced warships, however their historical significance cannot be overlooked.…
