Here is a Summary of the movie Titanic. So a rich girl named Rose goes on titanic with her mother and finance who is also rich. Then a poor artistsaves her life after she almost fell off the back of the ship. Soon disaster strikes and don't leave Jack (the penniless artiest) side. They both go in the water which is about freezing and Jack dies and Rose says i will never let go and she then is saved but misses Jack. At the end of the movie she either dies or has a dream and sees jack and all those such as Mr.Andrew,Mr.Murdoch, The Captain, Cora and many more people. 1500 lives went in the sea that night and all are there at the ending. I think she dies because she sees all those who died that night.

Modern shipbuilding practice is to build ships in several subassemblies, called blocks. The blocks are constructed from the ground up, and loaded with as much outfitting (piping, electrical wiring, equipment) as possible. The blocks are built on the ground, and then erected onto the ship. The size of the blocks depends on the shipyards lifting capacity. The larger the blocks, the more efficient the build cycle is. Once all the blocks are erected onto the ship, the ship is then launched into the water where final production work is done, and the ship is tested. An incline test is performed to test the stability of the vessel. Before delivery of the vessel to the customer, the building yard will conduct a sea trials.

When were the first metal ships made?
The USS Monitor was the first U.S. Navyship to be made mostly of metal. She was an ironclad ship that was deployed during the Civil War. The first battle between ironclads occurred at the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862, when the Monitor went against the CSS Virginia. The CSS Virgina, which was an ironclad built from the remains of the former USS Merrimack, was the first ironclad built.
The first use of metal on a U.S. Navy ship was when the USS Constitution's wooden hull was sheath with copper. However, this was not for protection from battle. It was sheathed to protect the wooden hull from the ravages of seawater and sea organisms that grow on wooden hulls. The sheathing was applied when the ship was constructed. It was the first ship of the U.S. Navy and was launched on September 20, 1797.
