Titanic Essay example
One of the greatest news headlines of all times was actually never supposed to happen. The shocking news of the sunken ocean liner the Titanic
shocked millions. The sinking itself probably wouldn't have even mattered except that the builders themselves said that the ship simply could not
sink. The news not only hit the United States, but countries everywhere were saddened to hear the news of "The Unsinkable" and its grave end.
In 1907 a man named J. Bruce Ismay, who was the manager of White Star Lines went to a dinner party at the mansion of the wealthy William
James Pierre. Pierre was a chairman to one of the largest shipbuilding companies in Belfast, Harland and Wolff. At dinner the two discussed luxury

the lookouts of the Titanic, which was moving around 20 ВЅ knots, sight a gigantic iceberg straight in their course. The warning bell is
immediately sounded. Quick after, Sixth Officer Moody relays the message to First Officer Murdoch who calls the engine room and tells the
engineers to turn off the engines and turn the ship hard. Thirty–seven seconds of heart stopping time later, the iceberg strikes the ship on the
starboard bow side. The impact is not noticed by most of the passengers. After some time it is reported to the Capitan that the ship is taking
on water rapidly, flooding the holds and boiler rooms. Thomas Andrews, Capitan Smith's assistant, calculates how much longer the ship can
stay afloat and the estimation was two and a half hours only. The ship sends out distress signals, and many ships hear and prepare to assist the
Titanic. At 12:20 A.M. orders are given to have women and children start to board lifeboats. Most lifeboats only left holding only a fraction of
what they were capable of. The last words heard by neighboring ships by the Titanic were heard at 1:45 A.M. Still holding over one thousand
five hundred people, the ships head sinks under water. All of the lights on the Titanic go out, and a huge roar is heard as all of the objects not
bolted to the floor fly towards the submerged bow. At that point the ship breaks in two, and approximately two minutes later, the remaining stern
settles again, fills with water and slowly sinks into the ocean.
