TITANIC


TITANIC

The Titanic was the most important ship in the world, in the century XX.

The construction started in May of 1909.


The Titanic had a lot of comforts, for example: electric light and it had heater in all its rooms.
On April 2, 1912, the Titanic was constructed and eight days later, the ship set sail of English seaport of Southampton at twelve o´clock.


The Titanic was going to New York, but first, the ship stopped in Cherburgo and Queenstown to collect more passengers.

The first three days, the trip didn´have problems. The captain, Mr.  Edward Smith knew that there were a lot of ice in this zone, however, he decided to continue to great speed.


On April, 14, at 23:40 hours, all the people was dancing and talking very happy. Suddenly, the look-out saw an enormous iceberg. The look-out informed the Captain Smith, but it was too much late. The Titanic crashed with the iceberg.
The engineer of the ship studied the accident but it was very complicated because the ship was sinking. Nobody could do anything.

The Titanic sent a sign of SOS, but the most nearby ship was at fours hours. A few minutes later, the crew started to haul donw the lifeboats, but there weren´t a lot of lifeboats.

All the people was very nervous and they wanted to save although, there were people who was helping others persons.

At 2:20, the Titanic sank and only the voices were listened asking for help.
Finally, 1500 persons died that cold night.

In 1997, James Cameron directed one of the most important movies of the history of the cinema based on the Titanic. This film won 11 Oscars.
