The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 after colliding with an iceberg. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew on board, more than 1,500 died in the disaster. Some key facts about the Titanic include that it had an luxurious first class dinner menu, there were not enough lifeboats for all onboard leading to many empty lifeboat seats, and various passengers stories are described such as Mr. Caldwell who survived with his family.

6. Facts about the Titanic
• The Titanic has two sister ships
called The Britannic and the
Olympic.
• A first class ticket cost €200 back
then but now it would cost about
€40,000.
• The Titanic struck an iceberg at
11:40 am on April 14th, 1912 and
didn’t sink until two and a half
hours later.
• The Titanic sank 12,500 feet below
sea level.
• The wreck of the Titanic was found

7. Facts about the lifeboats
Not only were there
not enough lifeboats to
save everyone on
board, most of lifeboats
that were launched off
the Titanic were not
filled up with people.
For instance, the first
lifeboat to launch, 7
boats from the
starboard side only
carried 24 people,
although it could hold
up to 65 passengers.
However it was
lifeboat 1 that carried
the fewest people- only
7 crew and 5
passengers got on
despite having the
capacity to carry 40.

8. Mummy’s Curse, Did you know?
A man by the name of William. T Stead
managed to smuggle a mummy called
Ikhnaton on board the Titanic. It was
known to curse the person who owned
it. It was rumoured that it had in fact
sank the Titanic.
Iceberg!
Typically, about one-tenth of an
iceberg is above water level with
the rest of it hidden below. This
makes icebergs hard to see,
especially when rough waves
hide the upper part, this may
have happened on the Titanic
voyage.

9. Music on Titanic
The Titanic had two groups
of musicians: a five-person
band who played concerts
and a trio who played in a
reception room outside the
first- class restaurant. The
bandleader, Wallace Hartley
gathered the two groups
together to calm the
passengers by playing as the
ship went down. All eight
musicians lost their lives in
the disaster.

10. Building the titanic
Construction took place at the Harland
and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland.
It took three years to build and took
around 3,000 workers.
Harland & Wolff were the company
that built the Titanic and was owned
by J.P Morgan of White Star Line. It
cost $7.5
million to build and was the most
luxurious ship of its time.
