Why did the titanic sink and why was there such a huge life loss?
Well, firstly because it was marvelous and enormous. It was huge, expensive (400.000.000 dollars) and the tickets as well.
Imagine that a mansion full of luxury disappear in the ocean, well this was even bigger than a mansion, and the things it contained were extremely expensive. For example, the famous stairs of the main hall.
A lot of the most rich people were in that trip, a lot of people died. They just freeze in the water. They didn't have any way to survive.
What was the Titanic sister ship called?
The 215 metre Oceanic was launched in 1899 at the same Belfast shipyards that went on to build the Titanic. Both ships were operated by White Star Line and the Oceanic in fact helped to return survivors from the April 1912 sinking of the Titanic
The Titanic actually had 2 sister ships. The Olympic was the first to be launched and then the Titanic followed by the Britannic. It was used by the British as a hospital ship during the First World War and was involved in an accident involving the 103 sub. Further research has proved this. The Britannic was known as "The Unsinkable Ship" and after a few years it was pulled out of the ocean to have all the parts sold. You can find the parts at a hotel in Europe, it is layed out exactly like the ship.
RMS Olympic

The third class passengers were near the bottom of Titanic, on decks D, E, and F. Their cabins were spread out between the three decks, as were their general and smoking room, open space, and dining saloon. It wasn't just third class on the three decks, there were also a bit of second class' cabins, first class' cabins, dining room, swimming pool and Turkish Baths.

Was there an actual Jack and Rose that survived the titanic?
No. Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater, portrayed in the movie by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, are almost entirely fictional characters (James Cameron modeled the character of Rose after American artist Beatrice Wood, who had no connection to Titanic history). The movie's love story is also fiction. It was created by Titanic screenwriter and director James Cameron. In addition to Rose and Jack, a handful of other characters associated with them are fictional as well. They include Rose's fiancé Caledon 'Cal' Hockley (Billy Zane), her mother Ruth (Frances Fisher), Cal's valet Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner), and the third class passengers, who include Jack's friends Fabrizio (Danny Nucci) and Tommy (Jason Barry). Some of the third class passengers were modeled after real people.
In Southampton you can go out to dinner at many different types of restruants. You have many nightlife activities to choose from. Clubbing, dance clubs, bars, pubs and music entertainment are just a few things you can do.
Why should the titanic not be raised from the sea?
Great question...but who says it can't?
The problem is money versus result.
The 50,000 ton displacement Titanic is 3800 meters below the North Atlantic. If you built a REALLY BIG scoop and lowered it with REALLY BIG cables from a REALLY BIG salvage vessel, you could probably get it into a drydock for under a trillion dollars.
Then what? There's no money to be made compared to the costs. If you made a billion dollars on it by selling the dishes on Ebay, you'd be 999 Billion dollars in the hole.
Salt water corrodes metal relatively quick, and due to the titanic being under water for so long it is quite brittle.
You would also be challenged by several countries for disturbing the gravesite, and the estates of 1200 people to return their valuables.
it can be done,the iron is still in good shape,the damage on the ship was done by the submirsibles landing on it.
How were certain people treated on the Titanic?
It depended on what class you were in. Whether you were 1st, 2nd or 3rd class.

Titanic received closer to seven (or eight) warnings on the day of her crash from vessels such as the Mesaba, the Noordam, the Amerika, Caronia, Baltic, Californian, Rappahannock, and La Touraine.
How many people worked on board the titanic?
lots Harland and Wolfe employed 10,000 workers at that time most of whom must have worked on the Titanic at one time or another.
Did they recover Titanic victim's bodies?
Long ago, any bodies in Titanic would have been dissolved by calcium bicarbonates.
What was the Titanic powered by?
Fuel consumption is directly proportional to velocity. The Titanic was coal fired and had two reciprocating steam engines on each power wing, and one central shaft driven turbine which ran on the waste steam from the main engines. The intermediate shaft ran only (ahead) the others could run both ahead and astern. An SIRT boat burns up about 500 Gallons per hour and this is at a relative velocity of l7.5 knots . I don"t know any fuel consumption stats, the ship was in effect on a speed trial ( Able flying - signal flag A) and surely was running at full speed at the time of the accident.Do some research into the more technical angles of the Titanic and you might get something on fuel consumption ! Good luck.
