Titanic

There were no class distinctions for the crew of Titanic.

Mr. Lightoller was in his quarters at the time of impact, he arrived on deck, near the bridge, about two minutes later. Then, after conferring with the third officer and believing that the ship was in no danger, and receiving no information to the contrary, he returned to his quarters.

Belfast, in Northern Ireland, at the Harland & Wolffe shipyard.

Yes, both Jack and Rose are fictional characters.though there wasa real jack dawson on titanic.

The Titanic is never going to go again, it lies in pieces at the bottom of the sea.
Shipbuilding has learned from this. Modern ships have even more and better watertight compartments and safety devices. We also now have iceberg warning systems and aircraft patrols by USCG that spot and track large icebergs.

the titanic never got raised to be honest I think that she should be left in peace now, many people go down every year and bring something back up, This is now illegal as Titanic is now protected so She should be left in piece and noone else going down to see her.

Titanic's sister ship, Olympic, was the same size. Her other sister, Britannic, was slightly smaller.

There must have been SOME people crying but there weren't many reports of it. Most people did not expect Titanic to actually founder and many were assured that there were lifeboats for all - and simply assumed that they would be reunited with their loved ones.

Only Seconds

From the time the lookouts sounded the alert, the officers on the bridge had only 37 seconds to react before the Titanic hit the iceberg. In that time, First Officer Murdoch ordered "hard a-starboard" (sharp left turn). He also ordered the engine room to put the engines in reverse. The Titanic did bank left, but it wasn't quite enough.

There were several new laws put in place in response to the Titanic disaster. All ships with more than fifty passengers were required to have enough lifeboats for all passengers, searchlights and binoculars, and to conduct regular emergency drills. A special radio channel was created specifically for ships (before Titanic it was a free-for-all), and 24-hour radio watches became mandatory. An international ice patrol was created to monitor and report the location of icebergs, and all ships were required to take a more southerly route through the North Atlantic.

No rose did not die in the ocean when the titanic sank. From every one who got saved are all dead but Rose was the last person to die.

Regarding miles that Titanic sailed, 386 miles were logged on noon Thursday (4/11) to noon Friday (4/12), 519 miles were logged on noon Friday (4/12) to noon Saturday (4/13), and 546 miles were logged on noon Saturday (4/13) to noon Sunday (4/14).

She sunk 963 miles from New York, her destination.

Laid down - 31st March 1909 and launched - 31st May 1911.

It was hit in the hull by an exocet missile.

The Andrea Doria sunk in a collision with another ship - the "Stockholm" on July, 25th 1956 near New York. Both ships were initially on a collision course, but unfortunately both captains turned their vessels southwards which ultimately led to the catastrophe.

The circumstances of Titanic's collision were one-in-a-million.

Titanic hit ice about 400 miles south of Newfoundland.

There is no cure for rabies once you start showing the symptoms. If you get rabies shots before you show symptoms but very soon after you get bit they can stop the rabies.

There are 6 known cases of people surviving symtomatic rabies.

ok, here is the long version. the titanic was never christened with a champagne bottle, that made people think the boat was cursed, others say there was a mummy on board the ship, but none was found when she sank, so the ship made its way to new York. one night, a man accidentally kept the key to a locker which held the binoculars for the lookouts, one lookout spotted an iceberg and alerted the bridge, which told the engine room to reverse. then they turned the ship and tried to avoid the ice berg, but it cut a series of slits about 300 feet long in the ship, then it sank.

The third class people hat their cabins and facilities placed on the very bottom of the ship unlike the second and first class who had theirs on the upper floors. This meant that the water stroke those on third class first.

There are several events that caused the mass deaths on the Titanic.

1) Captain Smith ordered the Titanic to travel "full steam ahead", which means at full speed, while they were in an extremely dangerous ice-field. By doing this, Captain Smith ignored rules which prohibited ships from travelling above a certain speed in ice-fields. Because the ship was travelling so fast, it would have been a lot more difficult for the look-out crew to assess whether the ship was heading into the path of a dangerous iceberg. The fast speed also meant that the ship had less time to react and avoid any icebergs.

Captain Smith committed suicide on the sinking ship, to avoid criminal charges for breaking the rules.

2) Other ships that noticed the Titanic was travelling too fast, sent wireless (Morse Code) messages to the Titanic warning them to slow down because they were about to enter a dangerous part of the ice-field. The wireless operators on the Titanic did pass these messages onto the Captain. But Captain Smith decided to ignore them.

3) Officer Murdoch, who was commandeering the bridge while Captain Smith was sleeping, made the wrong decision. He ordered the ship to turn to the right, away from the iceberg, but the ship was moving too fast to turn quick enough. This is why the iceberg managed to breach the hull.

Instead, he should have ordered the ship to slow down to a stop (by dampening out the coal-engines) and slowly hit the iceberg head-on. This would have just caused denting/crushing damage to the sharp-front of the ship (called the ships "Prow"). If the ship hit the iceberg head-on in this method, it might not have sunk. The ship would have been trapped, but at least lives would have been saved.

4) When the Titanic hit the iceberg, the crew didn't think there was anything to worry about. Titanic was supposedly built using "new ship technology" at the time, and was classed "un-skinkable". For this reason, no emergency plan was made for a while.

The ship was designed so that if the hull was ever breached, then they would simply just lock down that part of the ship by means of electronic doors to keep the water from spreading.

However, an incredibly major flaw in the ships design meant that the more water that was "trapped" inside the ship, the heavier the ship was getting. The heavier the ship got, the quicker it sunk. As it sunk, more and more water flooded into the ship.

5) Recently, modern-day Titanic investigators have discovered that the Titanic was built incorrectly. The metal plating on a ship in those times was bolted together with huge, extremely strong bolts that could withstand pressure, temperature and force.

However, it has recently been discovered by Titanic investigators that the company ordered the WRONG bolts for the ship. But they used them anyway. These cheaper bolts fitted into the Titanic's metal-plated hull were not very strong.

Modern investigators found records that had been hidden by the company that built the Titanic, proving that the bolts used were not the right type. Amongst the records were also complaints from the workers building the ship complaining that the bolts kept snapping or bending when the hull was being built. The company ignored the complaints.

Therefore, when the Titanic hit the iceberg, the hull stripped away like a hot knife in butter. And later as the ship began to submerge underwater, it snapped in half because of the lack of structural support. This helped the ship to sink even faster.

6) There were not enough lifeboats. The ship was bigger than any other ship before, therefore the out-dated regulations didn't state the correct amount of lifeboats the ship needed to have. Also, before the Titanic set sail, the owners REMOVED half of the lifeboats, because they were concerned about them making the ship look ugly or spoiling the views for the rich people on board.

7) Concerning the lifeboats again, the rich people on the Titanic got first picks of the lifeboats. While the poorer passengers were kept below deck, the rich were making their escape from the sinking ship. There were far more poorer people on board than rich. Many of the lifeboats were not even full when they were released into the sea.

The Captain of the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors, the Carpathia, noted in his ships logs that some of Titanic's lifeboats only had about 15-30 people in them; The lifeboats were designed to carry 65 people (63 passengers and 2 crew to accommodate the passengers).

8) There was no officially recognised distress call back in those days. Nowadays, the international distress signal is "SOS", because it's the easiest combination of letters to send in Morse Code. Back in the Titanic day, there was no official, internationally-recognised distress signal.

9) While the Titanic was sinking, the nearest ship to them was the Californian. However, the wireless operator on the Californian was asleep, and there was nobody on board assigned to replace him, therefore the Californian did not hear the Titanic's pleas for help. After midnight, the crew of the Californian saw distress flares being set off by the Titanic, and woke up their Captain. However, the Captain of the Californian dismissed them as fireworks and refused to wake up his wireless operator to contact the Titanic.

10) The second nearest ship, the Carpathia heard the distress signals and also tried to contact the Californian, but they couldn't get an answer either. Even though the Carpathia was already racing towards the Titanic at full speed to rescue them, they wouldn't arrive until the morning because they were so far away AND had to navigate through the dangerous icebergs to avoid sinking themselves. If the Californian had responded to either the Titanic or the Carpathia, many more lives would have been saved.

11) The water was absolutely freezing. If you didn't drown, then you most likely froze to death. In extremely freezing ice-water, the body can only survive a matter of minutes before blood circulation freezes in your veins and heart, starving the brain of oxygen.

12) Poorly designed life jackets. The life jackets on the Titanic was simply 4 square pieces of cork sewn inside a cotton vest. After a while in the water, cork is like a sponge and begins to absorb water, making the wearer heavier and more likely to drown. Cotton also absorbs water and would make the wearer heavier.

There were 2,223 passengers and crew on board.

1,517 of them died.

706 survived.

Survivors of the Titanic testified that J. Bruce Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line and passenger aboard the Titanic, suggested to Captain Edward Smith and chief engineer Joseph Bell that they test the ship's speed. However, there hasn't been any substantial evidence to support this claim.
