Story of titanic
After years of construction and work, the Titanic was finally ready for her maiden voyage. The beginning of her voyage was to take place on the morning of April 10, of 1912 at approximately 10:00am. The firs of Titanic passengers began to board the ship. Most of these passengers were British residents who had journeyed to Titanic by means of transportation either that a boat train. The real precipitance came when the boat train arrived. People rich or poor were scattered all aver Southampton's bay, attempting to find their gangway. After the second and third class passengers boarded, the firs class passengers were to be escorted to their cabins. Approximately at 12:00pm Titanic was ready to set sail. After Titanic sets out into the open sea, her water displacement causes mooring ropes of the New York, which was a small ship, to brake. Which causes her stern to swing towards Titanic's mighty bow. Titanic official's quick actions prevent a catastrophic collision. After hours delayed the Titanic finally sets sail into the open sea headed towards Cherbourg, France. The Titanic lowered her anchor when arrived at Cherbourg, France, at about 5:30pm of the same day. More passengers boarded the Titanic. At approximately 8:10pm Titanic
It was 11:30pm of the night of April 14, of 1912. As Titanic sped through the darkness towards its doom, the majority of the passengers and crew had not the slightest inkling idea that they were in danger at all. The last games of cards were breaking up. The last conversations were ending. Most passengers were already in bed, but the few who remained, were heading towards their cabins. Though the passengers settled, the officers on the bridge kept a sharp look out for anything in Titanic's path. Ice reports had been sent to the Titanic all day form other ships but Titanic's wireless operators chose to neglect the messages and so Titanic sailed in to history. High up in the crows nest, were lookouts Fleet and Lee. They to kept a sharp look out. More than a 1,500 people floated hopelessly in the water, trying to find something to grab on to. The lifeboats didn't return for fear of being swamped. The screams and cries of the people in the water slowly stopped as they died in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. After half an hour or so one lifeboat returned to the disaster site to locate survivors but they were to late. Out of 1,500 people on the ocean only 6 remained alive. Over 1,200 passengers, rich or poor received their eternal rest in the cold riveted Atlantic for which their bodies were never found. All that was left were the lifeboats, bobbing in the gradually settling waves, floating scene of Arctic desolation lit only by the stars in the clear sky above. The time was 2:20am, 2hr 40min from the time that the iceberg ripped into Titanic's hull. Today in the disaster area all you'll hear are the screams and cries of the 1,500 souls who lost their lives on the cold and fateful night of April 14and15 of 1912. Now it was up to the crew to get the first class passengers safely into the lifeboats. The crewmen ordered for women and children firs. Many women weren't willing to leave their husbands. They thought the nice warm ship was the better place to be, other than that dinky, little lifeboat. Ida Straus refused to leave her husband, Isador, stating that she would go were her husband would go. As time went by, the band on the Titanic, lead by Wallace Harley, played to try to keep the passengers calm. No one really thought the unsinkable ship was in any kind of real trouble.
