Who Is To Blame Titanic
Over a century after the R.M.S. Titanic sank into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, artifacts from
the disaster–which claimed the life of 1,500 people–continue to captivate collectors and history
buffs. On October 21, 2017, a letter recovered from the wreckage broke a world record by selling
for 126,000 British pounds, or about 166,000 U.S. dollars. The letter comes from Oskar Holverson,
a first–class passenger and U.S. businessman who perished in the water. He'd written the letter to his
mother on April 13, 1912, the day before the ship hit the iceberg that would take it down. Within a
week of the Titanic's sinking, recovery ships sailed to the wreckage site to collect personal effects
and dead bodies, many of which were floating at the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The recently auctioned letter is also valuable because it describes the ship, the food, and even fellow
passenger John Jacob Astor, at the time the richest man in the world. "He looks like any other
human being even tho [sic] he has millions of money," Holverson wrote of Astor. "They sit out on
deck with the rest of us." Three years ago, the same auction house that sold Holverson's letter
auctioned the last known letter to be written on the Titanic for £119,000. Before that, the auction
house sold a letter written by violinist and Titanic band leader Wallace Hartley for £112,000. In
contrast to Holverson's letter, which was reclaimed from his person, Titanic's "last letter" was
carried onto a lifeboat in a survivor's pocket, and Wallace's letter was sent at a mail stop in
Queenstown, Ireland–now called Cobh–that Titanic made before crossing the Atlantic. This article
was mostly about how they found a letter written by a men writing to his mother, when the police
went to pick up bodys and remains fro the titanic they found the letter and gave it to his mother the

1. When the titanic was made it was thought and believed to be the largest, safest, and most
luxurious cruise liner to have ever been built.
2. Upon its completion in 1912 the Titanic was 100 feet longer and weighed more than 15,000 tons
than any other ship that had previously been built.
3. In Geoff Tibbals book written in 1997 "The titanic" the ship ended up being 883 feet long and
weighed 52,310 tons. But by today's standards of cruise liners it is quite small.

The Titanic Impact On American History
During the years of 1909 to 1912 the Titanic was being constructed and was launched in Belfast,
United Kingdom. "I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot
conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that."
Captain Edward Smith. The Titanic impacted American history through manufacturing ships
stronger and the International Ice Patrol. The Titanic was at the height of luxury at the time. It was
built in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It had fifty telephones and heaters. It took 14,000 workers to build
with state of the art comfort. The Titanic only had three working funnels. The fourth funnel was
fake. It was put on to make it look more symmetrical and powerful. In total The Titanic weighed
46,000 tons ( Pipe 1–5 ). The Titanic had fifteen electric watertight walls inside the hull that shut
automatically if water reached them. It costed 7.5 million dollars to build and it was launched on
May 31, 1911. It was meant to be luxurious and not built for speed. It was 882 feet long, ninety two
feet wide, and 175 feet tall ( Denenberg 5–10). Captain Edward Smith stayed on the boat while it

and the Titanic would still be floating, but six of them got filled so it sank. ( Facts About Titanic )As
people scrambled to get to a lifeboat they started to realize that there were not going to be enough

If there was any other room left (which there couldn't be) the men could go leave. The calls came
from all around shouting "Women and children on the emergency row boats." That really startled the
people on the ship. They wanted to know why they had to go on the emergency boats if the ship was
unsinkable. But if they had to... they would. People went back into their rooms and took things that
were most valuable to them. One person took a Bible that was given to him by his brother, but
almost all of the people (being of the upper class) took jewelry and money. At 12:15 A.M. the next
day, the first wireless call for help was made. The water was getting higher and higher. The
departing said their final good–byes. Soon the Titanic would be under the great Atlantic Ocean, so
the crew would have to act fast. Some men wanted to remain aboard and were ready to go down

Because the crew of the Titanic did not listen to the warnings sent by other ships, the Titanic hit an
iceberg at eleven–forty p.m. The scouts of the ship saw the iceberg about thirty seconds before the
ship's starboard (right) side scraped against it. If the Titanic was going slower, then the crew would
have been able to turn the ship around the iceberg. The crew and the passengers were not too
worried, though. The Titanic was built so that it was "unsinkable". There were compartments on the
sides of the ship that would hold water if the ship were to get any holes. Then, the whole ship found
out that there were not enough compartments to hold all of the water gushing into the hull. At
eleven–fifty p.m., fourteen feet of seawater was filled inside of the Titanic. Most of the crew was
shocked by how much water was entering the Titanic that they started to panic as the ship started to
tilt forward. Fifteen minutes later, Captain Edward Smith called told the crew that they had to start
lowering the lifeboats. At twelve–forty–five, the first lifeboat was lowered from the ship. Women
and children from the upper classes were allowed onto the lifeboats first. Because of this most of the
deaths were from third–class passengers. Most of the lifeboats were not carrying their total capacity,

The Outline Of The Titanic
Titanic
When: Started building on March 31, 1909. The Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912. It sank on April
15, at 2:20 A.M.
Where: Left from Southaptom, England, and was on its way to New York. Made stops in Cherbourg,
France and sailed to Queenstown(now known as Cobh), Ireland. Sank in the North Atlantic.
Who: Ship was created by White Star Liner. The architect was Thomas Andrews. Around 2,200
people were boarded on the ship. Edward John Smith was the appointed captain.
What:
The construction of the RMS Titanic started on March 31, 1909 in Belfast, North Ireland and cost
$7.5 million. The man who designed it was a naval architect named Thomas Andrews. The ship was
built to be the world's largest passenger steamship, along with two other ships, the Olympic and
Britanic. Although the ship has always been known to many as unsinkable, it was actually never
supposed to be advertised like that. Extra measures were put into the ship to insure safety, for
example, if four watertight compartments out of the 16 were flooded, the ship would still stay afloat.
Even though all these precautions were made, who would have ever thought that a single iceberg
could cause such a huge devastation. The ship set sail on April 10, 1912 from Southampton,
England and on its way to New York. The total passengers were around 2,200 people, including a
crew of around 900. The passengers were divided into certain classes depending on what kind of

Essay on The Sinking of the Lusitania
The Sinking of the Lusitania On the 7 May 1915 at 14:30, then 240 metre long and 27 meter wide
ship the Lusitania sunk to the sea bed. Despite the fact that so many were killed, 1,195 people, this
ship has not become one of history's most well known vessels, unlike the Titanic. This is due to the
fact that the Lusitania was sunk by the Germans during the First World War. The Lusitania and her
sister ship, the Mauretania, were built by John Brown & CO Ltd in Glasgow for the purpose of
winning back the Blue Riband, an award to ships crossing the Atlantic ocean in the quickest time. *

Ships that came later, the Titanic included, could only reach speeds of 22 knots, however in these
cases speed was compromised by concentrating more on comfort and luxury; perhaps more
importantly the Lusitania was built for use in war. The Lusitania left Liverpool on the 7 September
1907 on her maiden voyage to Queenstown and New York. Approximately 200 000 people had
gathered to see her offmänniskor, despite the fact the ship had been built to win the Blue Riband
back from the German ship "Deutschland" it was not until the Lusitania's second journey that the
record was broken on the 5 October 1907. The journey from Queenstown to Sandy Hook took 4
days and 19 hours. *

Copper Mining Essay
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the following question; "What have we learned
about the mining for copper that could minimise environment impacts of mining in the future?"
Copper is a metal used for jewellery, copper wiring, electrical motors, engines, but mainly used in
electrical generators and powers. This is because copper has a high thermal and electrical
conductivity. Hence, copper is essential in today's society. The mining for copper in Queenstown,
Tasmania was founded in 1883, but first started in 1896.
Copper mining led to the formation of acid rain because Acid mine drainage (AMG) was formed
into the river system by natural processes when the pyrite bedrock was exposed to oxygen and
water. This is because ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A scrubber is used to remove gases and destroys the harmful chemicals in the atmosphere, which
prevents the formation of acid rain. Additionally, FDG works by "spraying a wet slurry of limestone
into a huge chambers where the calcium in the limestone responds with the sulfur dioxide in the flue
gas." When sulfur produces 〖SO〗_2, the fumes gas goes through the scrubber where a spray
mixture of limestone and water reacts with the 〖SO〗_2. It produces calcium sulfate (when
〖SO〗_2 consolidates with limestone), known as synthetic gypsum. Scrubbers reduce the health
risks of the local residents and workers. It is extremely important to remove sulfur dioxide because
it combines with water in the air to form sulfuric acid (acidic compound) when released into the
atmosphere. Thus, scrubbers are utilized to remove acidic gases as it filters out the sulfur dioxide

The Titanic: The Sinking Of The Titanic
The titanic was said to be the largest most luxurious ship at the time, also known as the
"unsinkable". After three years of building this huge luxurious "unsinkable ship" the titanic was to
begin its first and only voyage. On April 15th, 1912 the titanic struck an iceberg causing the biggest
disaster in modern times. The sinking of the Titanic took many innocent lives, it was said to be an
unsinkable ship till 5 days later after it left for its first transatlantic voyage.
The Titanic was the largest ship ever designed, it was the biggest man made moveable ship, and it

Dead Wake Quotes
Accelerated English II Quote Analysis In the historical novel, Dead Wake by Erik Larson, the author
composes and reveals the lesser known story of the Lusitania, a passenger liner that was traveling to
England. However, despite the great pride in the Lusitania's greatness, she was sunk by a German
U–boat, the U–20, on May 7th, 1915. There are many reasons that people believe that the Lusitania
was sunk, but Larson seemed to most prominently claim that the Lusitania was intentionally sunk in
order to drag America into World War I. These quotes are examples of his claim in the book:
"Indeed, these are the great lingering questions of the Lusitania affair: Why, given all the
information possessed by the Admiralty about U–20; given the Admiralty's past willingness to
provide escorts to inbound ships or divert them away from trouble; given that the ship carried a vital
cargo of rifle ammunition and artillery shells; given that Room 40's intelligence prompted the
obsessive tracking and protection of the HMS Orion; given that U–20 had sunk three vessels in the
Lusitania's path; given Cunard chairman Booth's panicked Friday morning ... Show more content on

When analyzing the syntax and diction used in this specific quote, it is obvious that Larson appears
to be very suspicious of the behavior and actions of Room 40. Larson does this by adding slights
hints of sarcasm by the placement of his chosen words to add extra impact and differing meanings to
many words. He also proves his claim by showing how Room 40 was very aware of the situation at
hand and the possible outcome of the Lusitania's lone voyage of the, at the time, dangerous British
sea's. Larson explicitly knows that the Admiralty was very cautious when in regard to boat's such as
the HMS Orion, and knew that the Admiralty was aware of the three previous boat sinkings before

Captain Smith served 32 years with the white star line company, there was 18 white star vessels ever
made. He's had plenty of experienced years traveling in the North Atlantic Ocean, he's had 26 years
of experience. Captain Smith knew that the ship was going to sink when they scrapped along the
iceberg and the engine stopped. (Fowler, Dave. Titanic facts.net). The time of the sinking and
amount of water was a pretty large number. It was an 60 minute delay between the collision and the
first titanic lifeboats launching. The size of the opening was about 12 inches that's the actual
estimated size. The R.M.S. titanic took 400 tons of water on the ship per minute after the Collison.
(Fowler, Dave. Titanic facts.net). The captain never taught the crew how to lower down the
lifeboats. It took 80 minutes to launch all 16 lifeboats, 10 minutes for a crew to launch a lifeboat.
The first lifeboat took 28 people on the first load, and the number of lifeboat spaces that went

Lusitania Report
Lusitania
It was 2:10 p.m. on May 7, 1915. Leslie Morton, a lookout on the Lusitania, screamed,
"Torpedoes coming on the starboard side." Two explosions followed.
Within 18 minutes the huge liner, once the largest ever built, sank to the bottom of the Celtic Sea.
1,195 out of the 1,959 people aboard died. Walther
Schwieger, commander of the German submarine U– 20, who had fired a single torpedo 750 yards
away from the ship, later called it the most horrible sight he had ever seen.
The Lusitania entered service between Liverpool and New York on September
7, 1907. Funded by the British Admiralty, the Lusitania, built by the Cunard
Steamship Company, was required to double as an auxiliary cruiser in case of war.

About a week before the voyage, the New York German community tried to run an ad warning
about the trans–Atlantic voyage. But the duty officer at the State department did not approve, so no
ads were placed. Later George Vierick, who was in charge of placing the ads, convinced William
Jennings Bryan, Secretary of
State, that on all but one of the Lusitania's voyages it carried war materials.
Bryan had an advertisement run the morning of departure of May 1, 1915. British
Naval Intelligence discovered the ad and gave orders to look out for U–boats, predicting a trap.
Turner, Captain of the Lusitania, was told that he would rendezvous with the cruiser Juno about 40
miles west of the southern tip of
Ireland. German Intelligence thought that the U–boat lookout order meant that large vessels would
be leaving England. U–20 and U–30 were immediately sent to the British Channel and southern
Irish waters(Simpson 66–69).
On May 5, Winston Churchill attended a meeting concerning the Lusitania and the U–20. They
concluded that Juno would need an escort, so assistance would be given, most likely the destroyer
Flotilla. But this did not happen. For unknown reasons, Juno was recalled to Queenstown, and no
destroyers were sent(Simpson 70).
On May 5 and 6 three ships were sunk by the U–20, the last without warning.

The Development of Jazz in South Africa
On June 19, 1890 South Africans came into contact with African American music for the first time.
This contact came when Orpheus McAdoo's Virginia Jubilee Singers. Orpheus McAdoo, a graduate
of Hampton Institute, now known as Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia joined five members
of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, an African American a capella group from Fisk University and
began to tour places such as Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. When he returned to the U.S., he
added four members to the minstrel troupe and in 1890 they found themselves in Cape Town, South
Africa. Their tour in Cape Town was extremely successful and they forever left an impact on South
African culture in the form of a Carnival that takes place each year. Kaapse Klopse, formerly known
as the Coon Carnival takes place on January 2nd each year. Minstrel troupes gather in District 6 and
take part in a parade and various competions. Various genres of music are represented in the Kaapse
Klopse but one genre has been apart of the festivsal since its early beginnings, South African Jazz.
As the jazz tradition was developing in the United States through the cross fertilization of African
and African American culture, this jazz music would eventually reach all the way to South Africa.

The Real Estate Institute Of New Zealand Essay
Although we are a small country in terms of population, New Zealand encompasses a land area
similar to that of Great Britain. Because of this relatively low density, analysts and observers are
able to clearly identify patterns and trends between regions and cities. One of these trends is the fact
that house prices differ markedly across New Zealand, ranging from roughly $800,000 in Auckland,
to $200,000 in Invercargill. In this essay, I will produce evidence of this variation be presenting data
taken from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), before describing how supply and
demand acts as one of the core mechanisms to why house prices diverge across the country. After
this, I will then investigate three arguments as two what has a noticeable effect on the price of the
house. I will look at migration, and how people moving from one location to another, can have an
observable effect on the house prices, by looking at the fallout of the Christchurch Earthquake. The
second reason I'll investigate is the physical geographic location of a house, both in terms of
services and transport in the proximity of the property. My third argument will deal with the
financial reasons of the house buyer, or seller, and how the current economic outlook can have a
profound effect on the housing market, before finishing off with a conclusion to my observations.

From this we can see that mainly males did not survive. Although there were more males on board
(577), about 460 perished. From the females (314), about 235 survived.
Another attribute that needs attention is the age category. I wanted to find out if the women and
children first policy was adhered to, but there are 177 missing age values. This is going to
complicate my results on this. From leaving the 177 as they are, I get this graph:

My theory should indicate a higher level of survival amongst the younger age group, but this is not
conclusive in Figure 5. I thought that the fare price might indicate a children's price and therefore
allow me to fill in an age, but the fare price doesn't seem to have much pattern. Another idea I
thought might help would be to look at the names of passengers, i.e. miss might signify a lower age.
(In 1912 the average age of marriage was 22, so anyone with title miss could have an age less than
22.) Names which include master might indicate a young age as well. Figure 5 also indicates
possible outliers on the right hand side.

Impacts Of Copper Mining
What have we learned about the mining for copper that could minimise environmental impacts of
mining in the future?
Copper is an inexpensive metal that occurs in abundance in communities where copper mining has
occurred, such as Queenstown, Tasmania. Copper resists corrosion and an effective conductor of
heat and electricity.
One positive impact of copper mining is that it has a great impact on the economy, as it is a multi
purpose metal. It can be used for infrastructure, motor vehicle radiators and heating systems. In
addition, it can also be used in electrical generators and motors for electrical wiring. As copper has
many uses, more establishments will purchase the metal. Although it's not as costly as gold, copper
is sought out for its versatility.
In addition, copper mining promotes employment to people. In Queenstown, only so many people
can get employment in sufficiently paying jobs. Copper mining gives the unemployed a chance to
work as well as encouraging the flourishment in the building of new copper mines. This secures that
there will be an abundance of copper to sell in bulk.
Another positive effect copper mining has on communities is the developing technology to mine
copper. As copper mining occurs, the public begins to regard the states of the environment and
health of the people. Through this, people can come up with innovative ideas to improve the state of
the environment and prevent diseases caused by pollution.
Acid rain is any form of precipitation comprising of acidic components such as sulphuric acid,
carbonic acid or nitric acid that falls from the atmosphere as rain, snow, fog, fail or dust. When
sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere, they are
transported by wind and air currents. Hence, the two substances react with water, oxygen and other
chemicals to for sulphuric, carbonic and nitric acids. The intense extraction of copper in Queensland
is one of the causes of acid rain because the large machines that drill into the ground contributes to
the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in large masses. The roasting, smelting and

In fact, it was quite the opposite. The Titanic represents a very clear cut example of social class
divisions providing different opportunities (in this case, opportunities to get on a lifeboat and
survive) to individuals occupying different classes. Your odds of survival were greatly shaped by
your structural location aboard the ship i.e. your social class, gender and age.
The Sad Story.
Under the command of Edward Smith, the ship left Southampton with 2224 passengers on board for
Cherbourg and then on to Cobh. Titanic anchored off Roches Point on April 11th 1912 at 12noon
and remained in the harbour for almost two hours taking on supplies, mail and additional
passengers. They were taken to board Titanic from the old pier in Queenstown as it was then known,
in tenders called America and Ireland. The Titanic then sailed with 2347 passengers aboard,
including some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of poor emigrants from
Europe seeking a new life in North America. The ship had advanced safety

Negative Effects Of Copper Mining
Copper is an inexpensive metal that transpires in abundance in communities where copper mining
occurs, such as Queenstown, Tasmania. Copper resists corrosion and an effective conductor of heat
and electricity, which makes it an ideal material. However, copper mining is a factor that influences
acid rain on a large scale through the use and release of a variety of detrimental chemicals. One
positive impact of copper mining is that it has a great impact on the economy, as it is a multi–
purpose metal. It can be used for infrastructure, motor vehicle radiators and heating systems as well
as electrical generators and motors for electrical wiring. Furthermore, various establishments will
purchase the metal. Although it's not as costly as gold, copper is sought out for its versatility. In
addition, copper mining promotes employment to people. In Queenstown, only so many people can
get employment in sufficiently paying jobs. Copper mining gives the unemployed a chance to work
as well as stimulating the flourishment in the development of new copper mines. This secures that
there will be an abundance of copper to sell in bulk. Another positive effect copper mining has on
communities is the developing technology to mine copper. As copper mining occurs, the public
begins to regard the states of the environment and health of the people. Through this, people can
come up with innovative ideas to improve the state of the environment and prevent diseases caused
by pollution. For example,

Nellie Foley Research Paper
Nellie Foley Marries Timothy Foley
Timothy Foley invites Nellie (Bennett) Foley to East St. Louis for a visit and it is from this visit that
their relationship blossoms. Timothy, the son of Timothy J. (Muriead) and Julia "Jud" (Diarmuid)
(Foley) Foley, live in Shanahill West.* Nellie is the daughter of Daniel "Donal Rua" (Bennett) and
Katie (Nagle) Foley. Timothy and Nellie, being 25–years–old, have known each other since they
were kids. The marriage takes place at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in East St. Louis on Tuesday,
November 5, 1901. Timothy is a streetcar conductor. Upon immigrating to the United States, Nellie
had been living with her brother and sister–in–law, John and Julie (Moriarty) Foley, in Chicago. It is
while living in Chicago that she had served as the Maid of Honor at Jerry and Nora (Foley) Flynn's
wedding and as a baptism sponsor for their daughter, Nora. (F14) (F20)
*Both of Timothy Foley's parents are Foleys and now his wife is a Foley all born and raised in the
same area. To differentiate the different Foley families, the locals have attached nicknames to ...

It is a custom for one member of the family to stay on the land, such as John Flynn, and all the other
siblings to go to America. Now the only other Flynn siblings left in Ireland are Katie and the 11–
year–old Nora. Those who were already in America look after the "greenhorn" when he or she
arrives. This includes having a place for them to live. When Nellie arrives in Chicago, it is
customary for her relatives to roll back the rugs in the front parlor for a welcoming party. The Irish
custom is to dance and sing and chat into the night to hear all the news from home. The first one out,
in this case Jerry Flynn, always sends money back for the next one to come and then this one,
Maggie Flynn, sends back money for the next one to come. And so, in 1902, another Flynn

Who Is To Blame Titanic

  • 1. Who Is To Blame Titanic Over a century after the R.M.S. Titanic sank into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, artifacts from the disaster–which claimed the life of 1,500 people–continue to captivate collectors and history buffs. On October 21, 2017, a letter recovered from the wreckage broke a world record by selling for 126,000 British pounds, or about 166,000 U.S. dollars. The letter comes from Oskar Holverson, a first–class passenger and U.S. businessman who perished in the water. He'd written the letter to his mother on April 13, 1912, the day before the ship hit the iceberg that would take it down. Within a week of the Titanic's sinking, recovery ships sailed to the wreckage site to collect personal effects and dead bodies, many of which were floating at the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The recently auctioned letter is also valuable because it describes the ship, the food, and even fellow passenger John Jacob Astor, at the time the richest man in the world. "He looks like any other human being even tho [sic] he has millions of money," Holverson wrote of Astor. "They sit out on deck with the rest of us." Three years ago, the same auction house that sold Holverson's letter auctioned the last known letter to be written on the Titanic for £119,000. Before that, the auction house sold a letter written by violinist and Titanic band leader Wallace Hartley for £112,000. In contrast to Holverson's letter, which was reclaimed from his person, Titanic's "last letter" was carried onto a lifeboat in a survivor's pocket, and Wallace's letter was sent at a mail stop in Queenstown, Ireland–now called Cobh–that Titanic made before crossing the Atlantic. This article was mostly about how they found a letter written by a men writing to his mother, when the police went to pick up bodys and remains fro the titanic they found the letter and gave it to his mother the letter was now bought for about 166,000 dollars and so far it was the mostexspenive letter ever ...

This story takes place on the ship and on its many decks while sailing along the Atlantic Ocean. Walter Lord wrote this book in 1955, but the famous collision occurred on April 14, 1912 at 11:40 P.M. In this novel the author, Walter Lord wants to show what happened at every moment on the colossal cruse liner. The novel does not only have one main character, but rather all characters hold the same importance in the story. It was on April 14, 1912, at 2:00 P.M., when the Titanic left Queenstown for New York on her Maiden Voyage carrying 1316 passengers and 891 crew members. In the beginning, all was calm ...

The calls came from all around shouting "Women and children on the emergency row boats." That really startled the people on the ship. They wanted to know why they had to go on the emergency boats if the ship was unsinkable. But if they had to... they would. People went back into their rooms and took things that were most valuable to them. One person took a Bible that was given to him by his brother, but almost all of the people (being of the upper class) took jewelry and money. At 12:15 A.M. the next day, the first wireless call for help was made. The water was getting higher and higher. The departing said their final good–byes. Soon the Titanic would be under the great Atlantic Ocean, so the crew would have to act fast. Some men wanted to remain aboard and were ready to go down with the ship. As the ship started to take on more and more water, faster and faster, some people panicked and jumped over the edge thinking that they could swim for their lives. The water was much too cold and they died. The ship was now on such a tilt that it was no longer easy to stand. People were tumbling left and right. People were also going crazy because they either saw their spouse or friend drown in front of them. As the Titanic was in its final stages of being above the sea, some ...

The priests run him out, and Passepartout is lucky to escape on a train with his master on way to Calcutta. The headlines which were produced on English newspapers months ago were proven false.

Because the crew of the Titanic did not listen to the warnings sent by other ships, the Titanic hit an iceberg at eleven–forty p.m. The scouts of the ship saw the iceberg about thirty seconds before the ship's starboard (right) side scraped against it. If the Titanic was going slower, then the crew would have been able to turn the ship around the iceberg. The crew and the passengers were not too worried, though. The Titanic was built so that it was "unsinkable". There were compartments on the sides of the ship that would hold water if the ship were to get any holes. Then, the whole ship found out that there were not enough compartments to hold all of the water gushing into the hull. At eleven–fifty p.m., fourteen feet of seawater was filled inside of the Titanic. Most of the crew was shocked by how much water was entering the Titanic that they started to panic as the ship started to tilt forward.

However, despite the great pride in the Lusitania's greatness, she was sunk by a German U–boat, the U–20, on May 7th, 1915. There are many reasons that people believe that the Lusitania was sunk, but Larson seemed to most prominently claim that the Lusitania was intentionally sunk in order to drag America into World War I. These quotes are examples of his claim in the book: "Indeed, these are the great lingering questions of the Lusitania affair: Why, given all the information possessed by the Admiralty about U–20; given the Admiralty's past willingness to provide escorts to inbound ships or divert them away from trouble; given that the ship carried a vital cargo of rifle ammunition and artillery shells; given that Room 40's intelligence prompted the obsessive tracking and protection of the HMS Orion; given that U–20 had sunk three vessels in the Lusitania's path; given Cunard chairman Booth's panicked Friday morning ...

But the duty officer at the State department did not approve, so no ads were placed. Later George Vierick, who was in charge of placing the ads, convinced William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, that on all but one of the Lusitania's voyages it carried war materials. Bryan had an advertisement run the morning of departure of May 1, 1915. British Naval Intelligence discovered the ad and gave orders to look out for U–boats, predicting a trap. Turner, Captain of the Lusitania, was told that he would rendezvous with the cruiser Juno about 40 miles west of the southern tip of Ireland. German Intelligence thought that the U–boat lookout order meant that large vessels would be leaving England. U–20 and U–30 were immediately sent to the British Channel and southern Irish waters(Simpson 66–69). On May 5, Winston Churchill attended a meeting concerning the Lusitania and the U–20. They concluded that Juno would need an escort, so assistance would be given, most likely the destroyer Flotilla. But this did not happen. For unknown reasons, Juno was recalled to Queenstown, and no destroyers were sent(Simpson 70). On May 5 and 6 three ships were sunk by the U–20, the last without warning.

This contact came when Orpheus McAdoo's Virginia Jubilee Singers. Orpheus McAdoo, a graduate of Hampton Institute, now known as Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia joined five members of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, an African American a capella group from Fisk University and began to tour places such as Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. When he returned to the U.S., he added four members to the minstrel troupe and in 1890 they found themselves in Cape Town, South Africa. Their tour in Cape Town was extremely successful and they forever left an impact on South African culture in the form of a Carnival that takes place each year. Kaapse Klopse, formerly known as the Coon Carnival takes place on January 2nd each year. Minstrel troupes gather in District 6 and take part in a parade and various competions. Various genres of music are represented in the Kaapse Klopse but one genre has been apart of the festivsal since its early beginnings, South African Jazz. As the jazz tradition was developing in the United States through the cross fertilization of African and African American culture, this jazz music would eventually reach all the way to South Africa.

Because of this relatively low density, analysts and observers are able to clearly identify patterns and trends between regions and cities. One of these trends is the fact that house prices differ markedly across New Zealand, ranging from roughly $800,000 in Auckland, to $200,000 in Invercargill. In this essay, I will produce evidence of this variation be presenting data taken from the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ), before describing how supply and demand acts as one of the core mechanisms to why house prices diverge across the country. After this, I will then investigate three arguments as two what has a noticeable effect on the price of the house. I will look at migration, and how people moving from one location to another, can have an observable effect on the house prices, by looking at the fallout of the Christchurch Earthquake. The second reason I'll investigate is the physical geographic location of a house, both in terms of services and transport in the proximity of the property. My third argument will deal with the financial reasons of the house buyer, or seller, and how the current economic outlook can have a profound effect on the housing market, before finishing off with a conclusion to my observations.

What was the ratio of passengers who died, male or female? From this we can see that mainly males did not survive. Although there were more males on board (577), about 460 perished. From the females (314), about 235 survived. Another attribute that needs attention is the age category. I wanted to find out if the women and children first policy was adhered to, but there are 177 missing age values. This is going to complicate my results on this. From leaving the 177 as they are, I get this graph: Figure My theory should indicate a higher level of survival amongst the younger age group, but this is not conclusive in Figure 5. I thought that the fare price might indicate a children's price and therefore allow me to fill in an age, but the fare price doesn't seem to have much pattern. Another idea I thought might help would be to look at the names of passengers, i.e. miss might signify a lower age.

Copper is an inexpensive metal that occurs in abundance in communities where copper mining has occurred, such as Queenstown, Tasmania. Copper resists corrosion and an effective conductor of heat and electricity. One positive impact of copper mining is that it has a great impact on the economy, as it is a multi purpose metal. It can be used for infrastructure, motor vehicle radiators and heating systems. In addition, it can also be used in electrical generators and motors for electrical wiring. As copper has many uses, more establishments will purchase the metal. Although it's not as costly as gold, copper is sought out for its versatility. In addition, copper mining promotes employment to people. In Queenstown, only so many people can get employment in sufficiently paying jobs. Copper mining gives the unemployed a chance to work as well as encouraging the flourishment in the building of new copper mines. This secures that there will be an abundance of copper to sell in bulk. Another positive effect copper mining has on communities is the developing technology to mine copper. As copper mining occurs, the public begins to regard the states of the environment and health of the people. Through this, people can come up with innovative ideas to improve the state of the environment and prevent diseases caused by pollution. Acid rain is any form of precipitation comprising of acidic components such as sulphuric acid, carbonic acid or nitric acid that falls from the atmosphere as rain, snow, fog, fail or dust. When sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere, they are transported by wind and air currents. Hence, the two substances react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to for sulphuric, carbonic and nitric acids. The intense extraction of copper in Queensland is one of the causes of acid rain because the large machines that drill into the ground contributes to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in large masses. The roasting, smelting and converting of copper is another factor that contributes to acid rain. The ores are roasted to remove ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Queenstown (Cobh) its last port of call – is just a few kilometres from my home town. The Titanic was dubbed "unsinkable" and was so confident in its invincibility that its lifeboat capacity could accommodate less than half of the individuals onboard. While this means that most of the individuals didn't make it, it does not mean that everyone on board had an equal chance of survival. In fact, it was quite the opposite. The Titanic represents a very clear cut example of social class divisions providing different opportunities (in this case, opportunities to get on a lifeboat and survive) to individuals occupying different classes. Your odds of survival were greatly shaped by your structural location aboard the ship i.e. your social class, gender and age. The Sad Story.
