Introduction
In this report I am going to talk about a great ship, the R.M.S. Titanic. The R.M.S. Titanic was a passenger ship that struck an iceberg on her first and last voyage. I am going to tell you how it was constructed, how the voyage went, how and why did it sunk, how another ship rescued the survivors, and how and when scientists found the wreckage. It is a very interesting topic because it happened so fast and I want to know how it happened.
Plans for Construction
Titanic was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, along with her sisters the Olympic and the Britannic were designed to compete with the rival Cunard Line 's Lusitania and Mauretania and were intended to be the largest, most luxurious ships ever to sail.
Her length overall was 882 feet 9 inches (269.1 m). It had a maximum width of 92 feet (28m), had 46,328 tons, and a height of 59 feet (18 m) from the water line to the boat deck. The ship was licensed to carry 3547 persons, passengers and crew. The Titanic 's design and construction featured luxury and opulence. There was a telephone system, a lending library and a large barber shop on the ship. The first-class section had a swimming pool, a gymnasium, squash court, Turkish bath, electric bath and a Verandah Cafe.
For her maiden voyage, Titanic carried a total of 20 lifeboats of three different varieties. Lifeboats 1 and 2 were “The emergency wooden cutters” and had a capacity for 40 people. Lifeboats 3 to 16 were “The wooden lifeboats” and had a capacity for 65 people. Lifeboats A, B, C and D were “The Collapsible lifeboats” and had a capacity for 47
