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.

How did Australians get to America?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first Europeans to arrive in Australia for permanent settlement were the convicts who were transported from England to Australia. They were fully cared for and were not left to fend for themselves. They were sheltered and fed, but made to work hard. If they shirked their duties, they could be flogged or have their rations reduced. The marines and officers who watched over the convicts had enough rations and livestock to keep going until farms could be established.

Hunting was carried out to a small degree. Europeans did not initially develop a taste for native Australian wildlife, and the colony almost starved until it had its first successful barley crop, and the 3rd Fleet arrived.

How long would it take to sail from the North Pole to the South Pole?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By my reckoning it would take an awfully long time- possibly even 150-200 years. I suppose you could cheat slightly and attach some form of runners or wheels to the bottom of your boat to make it easier between the bodies of water but I think you could still get stuck on some mountainous sections for months perhaps years waiting for a strong enough breeze in the right direction. Anyway, its something that's never been attempted so good luck and don't listen to the doubters.

Many societies in prehistoric times built sailboats, from the Chinese, Japanese, and Polynesian islands to the Egyptians and Phoenicians. The development was most notable in the Mediterranean Sea, and the waters around SE Asia. By the time of the European explorers of the 14th and 15th century, sailboats had become ocean-going ships.
