Voyage on the Great Titanic
Voyage on the Great Titanic

I read the book “Voyage On The Great Titanic” The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, by Ellen Emerson White.

This book is about a girl named Margaret Ann Brady who lived in England, but everybody calls her Margie for short. She has an older brother named William, her mother died of a sickness and her dad died as well. Margie became an orphan living on the streets with her brother William. A couple months after having to eat left over scraps from the garbage of grocery stores and other local businesses Margie got sick. Her brother then took her to an orphanage called St.Albernathy's for girls, because he couldn't take care of her anymore. Margie was upset, having to split up with her brother. He was the only person she had left to depend on and love .William promised they would meet again, then he left to America in search for a living. Margret met lots of new friends at the orphanage. She met a girl named Nora who later became her best friend. William was fine too. He was off away working on ships, cleaning and fixing them. Yes, William and Margie sent letters but that could never top actually seeing each other.

Five years later the orphanage receives an unusual request from a rich American woman in the name of Mrs. Carstairs looking for a traveling companion, Margie’s teachers agree that she is the perfect candidate. This is an opportunity for her to travel to America on the R.M.S Titanic, as a helper for Mrs. Carstairs and from the port of New York she will be free to join her brother in Boston. Maggie Accepts her offer and takes this opportunity to change her life, she said “ I expect to learn a great deal from my journey… America is supposed to be the land of endless opportunities, and I see no reason not to try to better myself”.

On Thursday, April 4, 1912, the big day finally comes and Margie boards the beautiful majestic R.M.S Titanic ship. She is so taken and fascinated with all the luxuries around her, from A young

    The sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy that had an impact for the entire world. To this day, everyone is familiar with the event. It’s no wonder why mention of the ship would incite a certain dread in the hearts of those who lay their eyes on it. The title, “Titanic” (391), however, is a mere decoy. It’s a tool used to set up the ironic tone of the poem. This is made clear through the rather blunt first line, “Who does not love the Titanic?” The word “love” is a rather explicit word used to describe the world’s reaction toward the vessel for years to come. While the initial set up seems to be satirical, this isn’t the speaker’s true intention. The poem references something other than fear or loss; it describes everyone’s desire to be remembered.…

    According to 100 Unsinkable Facts about the Titanic, William Edward Minahan was a doctor from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Before he sailed on the maiden voyage of the Titanic, he had his fortune read. The fortune teller told him he would die aboard the ship, but he did not listen, and went on the voyage. She was right, and he died in the tragic accident (1). The Titanic is one of the most well known disasters in history. The RMS Titanic was the most luxurious ship of its time. It was said to be unsinkable, which created false hope for the passengers when disaster struck. The survivors’ haunting stories are still told today. Innovative technologies were used to study why the Titanic sank. If Clive Palmer makes a second Titanic, it will plunge into…

    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 Titanic is never an easy topic for me to discuss or write about. Every time I think of that fateful night I feel depressed and my head fills with faces of all the men, women, and children whose lives were taken from them all too soon. It makes me wonder how different our world today would be if the Captain, Edward Smith, had heeded the warnings of the ice field. It was said that when the Titanic is finished man will have surpassed God. Perhaps the sinking of the ship was God’s way of humbling us? Or was this merely a result of an incompetent Captain who put his pride before the safety of his passengers? “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.” –Proverbs 16:18 KJV…

    The novel, “Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady” was an excellent story and I highly recommend it for both children (9+) and adults. It gave significant detail from the passenger’s point of view and made you feel as if you were in Margaret Ann’s shoes. The novel also gave great amounts of factual history throughout the story. On a scale of 1-10 I would give this novel an 8; only because parts of the novel did tend to get boring for certain periods of times. Overall though the story was great and would definitely recommend…

    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.…

    A major shift in our innovative world occurred during the beginning of the 20th century. Inventions that rule our era today were first brought upon in the early 1900s. One of the most notorious of these inventions was the steamboat. During this time there was a big transition from sailboat to steamboat. A significant change as to how naval vessels were built and operated took place, which sometimes resulted in conducting problems leading to tragedies.
