2. On the morning of April 15,
1912, the sinking of the
Titanic the previous night
shocked the world. The year
had dawned bright with
promise and the maiden
voyage of the Titanic was a
symbol of the advances
mankind had made in the last
few years.
3. The ship was considered to have been so
well constructed it was believed she could
sustain any amount of damage and still
remain afloat. Late on the night of April 14,
1912, the sinking of the Titanic proved this
idea wrong in a horribly tragic way.
The causes of Titanic to sink have been
the subject of much study and debate.
Obviously, the instigating factor was the
collision with the iceberg; however the
question of 'how did it sink' is frequently
the center of most questions regarding the
Titanic.
4. In1912 the sinking of the Titanic began late
on the night of April 14th. Information on the
sinking Titanic indicates that the ship
approached a massive iceberg, and
although efforts were made to steer clear of
the large frozen mass, all efforts were to no
avail. Sadly, further records of the Titanic
accident history indicate that the Titanic
disaster may very well have been able to
have been completely avoided had officers
on ship paid heed to reports received earlier
regarding the frozen waters they were
approaching.
