Should Titanic Be Preserved
What if the titanic crumbled into millions of pieces we would forget about all that happened that night. I think the titanic should be preserved. We could learn from our mistakes. We could also set up tours for people who never knew what the titanic was. We could give the relics to the family's members that lost their loved ones that night.
I think the titanic should be preserved because we could learn from our mistakes. We could test the many theories people have come up with about how it sank. We could build Greater larger ships than the titanic and from the data the people who tested the titanic we could make them better than ever. The people cold figure out if somebody was responsible for the sinking of the titanic. We could

    On April 15, 1912, 1500 people died on board the RMS Titanic. Families were lost at sea, struggling to survive in the dark, murky waters of the Trans-Atlantic Ocean. However, one question remains… Who or what is responsible for the sinking of the ‘unsinkable ship’? The Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912 carrying 2200 passengers and 1300 crew. She hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912 at 11:45 p.m. At first the captain thought that the ship had merely scraped the iceberg. The damage was much worse... The iceberg scraped the hull so bad the rivets used to hold the ship together popped out. The gash in the hull let water come into the ship at 10 tons per second! Of the 2200 passengers, she carried on board, only 700 survived. Some people say that Thomas Andrews (the head designer of the Titanic) was responsible for the tragedy due to faulty ship design. Others say that J. Bruce Ismay is responsible for encouraging faulty ship design. Ismay is to blame because he should have told Thomas Andrews to make the supposed ‘water tight’ bulkheads higher. Ismay also should have added more lifeboats to save everyone on board in case of disaster. Out of all the culprits, Ismay is the most responsible because he had the final say in how the ship was made.…

    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…

    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. As for one, a woman cries,” Oh, save me, save me!” Then a man answers, “ Good lady, save yourself. Only God can save you now.” People were even leaping out into the frigid waters.…

    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 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.”…

    As soon as the engine stopped working it was clear that the Titanic was not able to work again. Numbers may vary on the amount of passengers and workers on the Titanic because the workers never truly made a list of the names of the passengers (Landou). The control workers could have been there when Fredrick Fleet called them to warn about the iceberg. The passengers and workers on the lifeboats didn’t fill them up as much as they could have. Many valuables were taken down with the Titanic on the morning it crashed (“Unsinkable”). The control room workers could have been on guard or at least have another person working the controls. If the Titanic wouldn’t have sunk, we would build ships the same and we wouldn’t over think about the possibilities, we would just put as much equipment as needed as we do…

    The Importance of BSN

    My interest of going back to school sparked some interesting questions amongst my colleagues. Some would ask, “Why?” Others would ask,” Does it make you a better a nurse?” The comment that all nurses practice under the same governing board so why bother was heard twice. These are great questions and while all nurses do practice under the same board, with the demanding and evolving changes in health care and the numerous studies that show better patient outcomes with baccalaureate prepared nurses at the bedside has sparked a call for 80% of nurses to be BSN prepared by 2020("Institute of Medicine," 2010). A nurse with a higher education can work in diverse health setting, will be equipped to handle these evolving changes and deliver a higher quality of care.…

    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…
