However, the starboard side of the ship scraped with the underwater portion of the iceberg for 7 seconds. The mechanism of the ship was powered by steam, which means that it would have taken about 30 seconds to turn the ship and reverse the engines. There were various warnings, but two of which were acknowledged by the captain. The North Atlantic had the worst ice conditions that year, as compared to the past 50 years. However, on April 14, 1912, the night when the Titanic met with the iceberg, the sky was clear, the ocean was as calm as it could be, and the water was extremely cold. The first 3 days of the journey since the Titanic started her voyage were pretty smooth without any disturbances. Titanic sank at 2:20 am on April 15, 1912. This monster ship now lies in the depth of the Atlantic Ocean. The Titanic offered a variety of facilities, such as a swimming pool, squash court, an electric bath, a gymnasium, a cafe, etc.
Website called Buzzle stated that "The ship had the capacity to accommodate 3,330 people, including 900 crew members" (Buzzle). It could accommodate 739 passengers in the first Class, 674 in the second class, and 1,026 in the third class. The Titanic was built keeping in mind that the world ought to speak of its comfort and luxury. The construction of the Titanic took about 26 months and was launched on at 12:15 pm. The Titanic had 10 decks, 3 engines, 29 boilers, and 159 furnaces. The Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches in length, stood 104 feet tall and weighed 52,310 tons.
Director of the White Star Line and Harold and Wolff had discussions with regard to building a giant four-funneled phunuld ship that would be the largest ever to float on water. The construction task was undertaken by the Harold and Wolff shipyard in Ireland. The White Star Line was one of the most prominent and highly successful shipping companies in Britain. The RMS TItanic was built under the authority of the British shipping company, the White Star Line. People called the Titanic as a unsinkable ship but it wasn't. The construction of the Titanic was successful but it became a disaster. The construction of the Titanic, how the ship sank into sea, and its popularity are three main points for my speech today. I assumed most of you are familiar with the Titanic through the movie Titanic and I'm going to tell about the disaster of the Titanic for those of you know very little about it with. Why was the ship sailing through waters known to be a 'mass of floating ice'? Why were there too few lifeboats, so that 1,522 people were left to perish at sea? Why were a third of the survivors members of the crew? On that fatal night in 1912, the world's largest moving object disappeared beneath the waters of the North Atlantic in less than three hours.
