Titanic

"Women and children first!" is the historical rule for evacuating a sinking ship, or escaping in any life-threatening emergency. It's a good rule, if you are trying to protect the structure of society. Wherever this rule is ignored, civilization is in danger.

the titanic was built in irland in a dry dock but was not fitted out in a dry dock and like many big ships like aircraft carriers, cruise liners etc the titanic was fitted out once she was afloat, this would cut down the amount of time she took up in the dry dock and that would cut down the cost of the build she was fitted out at a dock nearby whilst on the water.

Titanic's captain was Edward John Smith and his first officer was William Murdoch.

The people on the Titanic were very shocked. Most did not really realize what was going on. They were also, as you probably know, very scared. They saw people around them screaming, crying, and even dying. They did not know if they were going to die or if their loved one was going to die.

There are a few site that have quotes from some of the survivors (see Related Links).

Titanic received six warnings of icebergs by telegraph and three more by signal lamp. Warning ships include: Mesaba, the Noordam, the Amerika, Caronia, Baltic, Californian, Rappahannock, and La Touraine.

There was a wireless telegraphy system on board, an early form of radio, with two operators. They used used Morse code at about 20 word per minute to send messages to other ships and to coast stations.

Titanic won 11 Oscars, including Best Picture.

The necklace from the movie was fictional but a replica can be purchased from a company in the UK called White Star Momentos and a society in Massachusetts called the Titanic Historical Society.

Having said that, 19 year-old Kate Florence Phillips was eloping to America on Titanic with Henry Samuel Morley, her boss, who had given her a sapphire necklace set-in-diamonds. He was lost but she lived and wore the necklace.

Many of the female passengers refused to leave the Titanic because they either thought it was wrong to leave the men or they were so devoted to their men that they wouldn't not leave them to die when they knew that this was exactly what would happen when they left. Many of the women believed it better to die WITH their men as well, instead of dying alone or leaving the men to die alone.

Titanic was travelling at about 22 knots with 46,000 tons on her, striking something that was larger and denser than she was. If Titanic hit the iceberg head-on, she would have crumpled like an Accordion and sunk within minutes, not hours. Nobody would have had to time to board any lifeboat or call for help, all hands would have been lost, and her fate (and location) would have been a mystery.

The captain was not present at the time of the collision but the First Officer DID give commands to avoid the berg - rather than risk a head-on collision.

No. Captain Smith was a very responsible captain who had several decades of experience behind him. He was off duty at the time of the collision and was preparing for bed. The reason the iceberg wasn't seen in time to turn was because there was no moon to reflect light off the berg and the ship was going too fast. It's debated that Smith ordered it to speed up under the direction of the ship's owner, but regardless, the ship was too large to turn in time anyway with such a small rudder.

Also note that the lookouts did not have binoculars- a last minute crew change ended up causing them to leave port without the keys to the locker with the binoculars in them.

No one knows for sure. There have been claims for several tunes, including "Londonderry Air," "Nearer My God, to Thee," a sentimental waltz called "Songe d'Automne" ("Dream of Autumn"), or the hymn "Autumn." The most likely candidate is probably "Nearer My God, to Thee," since that was the conductor's favorite hymn and he had mentioned at an earlier time that if he were aboard a sinking ship he would assemble the musicians and have them play either "O God Our Help in Ages Past" or "Nearer My God to Thee."

the yard number of the Tianic was 401, the Olympic was 400. i do think the Brittanic was 402 (but dont hold me to that) lol

for the titanic to sink was perfectly predicted was 2 hours but the problem was is that the closest boat was 4 hours away

It depends, Titanic still holds multiple box office records and was undeniably the most popular movie for months on end in theaters, it simply dominated the theaters like a monopoly. But the lion king has stood the test of time, its still a popular movie and has sold more copies. So they are somewhat close to evening out. But Titanic still probably wins.

I believe it was about 100 miles off the coast, but I'm not quite sure. National Geographic's magazine this month is for the Titanic's 100 year anniversary, and I remember reading something about its distance from the coast.

Yes 567 crew members of the titanic survived

Margaret Brown boarded Titanic on the evening of April 10th, 1912 when the vessel was in port at Cherbourg France.

The band continued to play their music even though the boat was sinking
