What the story is about of Titanic?

Answer 1

The story of the real Titanic - she was the largest, grandest ship in the world, 882 and a half ft. long. The year was 1912 and she was under Harland and Wolf of the White Star Line. Famous people had boarding passes in elaborate First Class rooms. There were second class and third class. All classes had food conditions. On Sunday the 5th day of the journey, the Irish coast far behind, she was hit by an iceberg. Other ships had sent her warnings of icebergs earlier but they were ignored and hit the ice. Water rushed in killing workers in the mailroom (according to the latest beliefs) first. As the night grew on the thrid class were locked up, preventing any way of them to get out, survive, and have a chance of getting on the lifeboats. All passengers were warned in the beginning but few listened and thought it was a mere precaution. When they saw the water it was too late. Thousands died that night (trapped in the ship) from drowning and others died fron hyperthermia in the frigid water. The boats did not go back until most of the people were dead for fear of being swamped. When they went back most in the water had perished. They were infamous for the great loss of life. The story is one that lives on even 95 years later.

Answer 2

Well, some of it. There were actually a Rose and Jack in love on the Titanic, but nothing like that happened in real life like in the movie. Those two had ended up dying during the sinking. In the movie, where during he sinking it shows two old people in the bed, it's said that is how Rose and Jack died (but they were younger).

Answer 3

The move "Titanic" is based upon the 1912 of the RMS Titanic. Rose, a Survivor, recalls her experience on the beautiful ship known as "The Unsinkable Titanic". The movie is filled with facts but follows a fictional story line of a forbidden love that is torn apart with Jack Dawson freezes in the cold waters while being sure Rose is saved from them.

  • The Mesaba reports pack ice, field ice and icebergs in the location of where the Titanic was traveling. There is no evidence that this message ever reached Captain Smith or Titanic's bridge.

• 10:50 pm

  • The Californian sends a wireless message directly to the Titanic telling them that they were stopped and surrounded by ice. Before the Californian could relay their position (about 20 miles north of Titanic), wireless operator Jack Phillips angrily responded, "Shut up, shut up. You're jamming my signal. I'm busy. I'm working Cape Race". The Californian's wireless operator, Cyril Furmstone Evans, waited patiently and then finally gave up, turned off his equipment and went to bed.
  • The ocean water temperature is about 28 degrees (F).

• 11:30 pm

  • Lookouts Fleet and Lee notice a low-lying mist ahead, but do not see an iceberg. They probably would have sighted the iceberg if they had been issued binoculars.

  • Smith asks Boxhall to establish Titanic's position.
  • Captain Smith requests that Thomas Andrews and the ship carpenter "sound the ship" (inspect the damage).

Answer 5

1. In 1996, treasure hunter Brock Lovett and his team explore the wreck of RMS Titanic, searching for a diamond necklace called the Heart of the Ocean. They recover Caledon "Cal" Hockley's safe, believing the necklace to be inside, but instead find a sketch of a nude woman wearing it, dated April 14, 1912, the night the Titanic hit the iceberg. An elderly woman named Rose Dawson Calvert, hearing about the drawing, calls Lovett and claims that she is the woman depicted and she and her granddaughter, Lizzy Calvert, visit him and his team on his salvage ship. Asked if she knows the whereabouts of the necklace, Rose recalls her time aboard the Titanic, revealing that she is Rose DeWitt Bukater, a passenger believed to have died in the sinking.

2. In 1912, 17-year-old first class passenger Rose boards the ship in Southampton with her fiancé Cal, the son of a Pittsburgh steel tycoon, and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater. Ruth stresses the importance of Rose's engagement, as the marriage will solve the DeWitt Bukaters' secret financial problems. Distraught by her engagement, Rose considers suicide by jumping off the ship's stern. A drifter and artist named Jack Dawson stops her. Discovered with Jack on the stern, Rose tells Cal that she was looking over the ship's edge in curiosity and that Jack saved her from falling. At Rose's insistence, Cal invites Jack to dinner the following night to show his appreciation. Jack and Rose develop a tentative friendship, though Cal and Ruth are wary of the young third-class man. Following the first-class dinner that night, Rose secretly joins Jack at a party in the ship's third-class quarter.
3. Forbidden to see Jack by Cal and Ruth, Rose attempts to rebuff Jack's continuing advances. She soon realizes, though, that she prefers him over Cal, and meets him at the bow of the ship during what turns out to be the Titanic's final moments of daylight. They go to Rose's stateroom and she asks Jack to sketch her nude wearing the Heart of the Ocean, Cal's engagement present. Afterward, the two evade Cal's bodyguard, and make love in the ship's cargo hold. Going afterwards to the ship's forward well deck, they witness the ship's collision with an iceberg and overhear the ship's officers and designer outline its seriousness. Rose tells Jack that they should warn her mother and Cal.
4. Cal discovers Jack's drawing and a mocking note from Rose in his safe along with the necklace. Furious, he has his bodyguard slip the necklace into Jack's coat pocket. Accused of stealing it, Jack is arrested, taken down to the Master-at-arms's office and handcuffed to a pipe. Cal puts the necklace in his coat. Rose runs away from Cal and her mother (who has boarded a lifeboat) and releases Jack. The ship then starts to launch fireworks in order to attract any nearby ships.
5. Once Jack and Rose reach the deck, Cal and Jack persuade her to board another lifeboat, Cal claiming that he has arranged for himself and Jack to get off safely. After she boards, Cal tells Jack that the arrangement is only for himself. As Rose's boat lowers, she realizes that she cannot leave Jack, and jumps back on board the Titanic to reunite with him. Infuriated, Cal takes a pistol and chases them into the flooding first-class dining saloon. After exhausting his ammunition, Cal realizes to his chagrin that he gave his coat with the diamond to Rose. With the situation now dire, he returns to the boat deck and boards a lifeboat by pretending to look after a lost child.
6. Jack and Rose return to the top deck. All lifeboats have departed and passengers are falling to their deaths as the stern rises out of the water. The ship breaks in half, and the stern side rises 90-degrees into the air. As it sinks, Jack and Rose ride the stern into the ocean. Jack helps Rose onto a wall panel only able to support one person's weight. Holding the panel's edge, he assures her she will die an old woman, warm in her bed. Meanwhile, Fifth Officer Harold Lowe has commandeered a lifeboat to search for survivors. He saves a nearly dead Rose, but Jack has already died from hypothermia.
7. Rose and the other survivors are taken by the RMS Carpathia to New York, where Rose gives her name as Rose Dawson. She hides from Cal on Carpathia's deck as he searches for her. She learns later that he committed suicide after losing his fortune in the Wall Street Crash of 1929.
8. Her story complete, Rose goes alone to the stern of Lovett's ship. There she takes out the Heart of the Ocean, which has been in her possession all along, and drops it into the ocean. While seemingly asleep in her bed, the photos on her dresser are a visual chronicle that she lived a free life inspired by Jack. The young Rose is then seen reuniting with Jack at the Grand Staircase of the Titanic, cheered and congratulated by those who perished on the ship.

Answer 6

Titanic's plot was "God Himself could not sink this ship". Some people mostly 1st class passengers and the crew believed that to be true.

Answer 7
