Header: The Sinking of The Titanic
Name:
G.P: To inform the audience about a historical event.
S.P: By the end of this presentation the audience will know what caused The Titanic to sink and what effect it had on other ships and people.
CI: I will inform the cause of the sinking of The Titanic and what effect it has made on new ship designs and passenger safety.
I. Introduction( Quotation) a) "No sound of a crash or of anything else: no sense of shock, no jar that felt like one heavy body meeting another... The thought came to me that they must have still further increased the speed. And all this time the Titanic was being cut open by the iceberg and water was pouring in her side, and yet no evidence that would indicate such a disaster had been presented to us...yet the explanation is simple enough: the Titanic struck the berg with a force of impact of over a million foot-tons; her plates were less than an inch thick, and they must have been cut through as knife cuts: it would have been better if she had listed and thrown us out on the floor, for it would have been an indication that our plates were strong enough to offer, at any rate, some resistance to the blow, and we might all have been safe to-day", The Loss of the SS. Titanic (1912) by Lawrence Beesley (one of the survivors). b) Today I will discuss the cause of the sinking of The Titanic and what effects it has made on new ship designs and passenger safety. c) MAIN POINTS I. One of the biggest causes were the rivets and hull plates. II. Watertight compartments under the ship were no help whatsoever In fact, it made the ship sink faster. III. Unfortunately, many innocent people died and only a few survived. IIII. Now, many improvements have been made as a result of the Titanic's destruction.
II. BODY (CAUSE) a) CAUSES I. When the iceberg was first spotted, there was only thirty seconds left for the ship to collide.The massive ship was too
