WHY DID THE TITANIC SINK????

The Titanic Story

The early 20yh century was a heady time. Steel had made larger and better things than ever before.
The Titanic was the biggest, fastest and most luxurious of as new class of super ships.
However, perhaps they were too ambicious. The steel was not up to today’s standards. Radio was in its infancy. Regulations did not provide for enough lifeboats.
So, of the maiden voyage, the Titanic steamed bravely throurogh the night.
Did the captain agree to go full speed ahead to break the record? Ice warnings from other ships were not priortized at the radio shack.
A freak season had sent ice down into the shipping lanes. The vetran captain retired to bed assured all was well. Then a large berg was sited straight ahead.
The ship franticly turned hard to the left.
However, the iceberg is mostly underwater and the ship struck along its side.
Water gushed in along the long gash. The captain and officers consulted with the ship’s designer who told them it would sink.
There were too many people; many of them steerage, who could not get a lifeboat.
The brave engineers stayed at their posts to keep the lights and pumps working.
Many rich people bravely stayed with the sinking ship. The final sinking was a horrible disaster with many drowned or frozen in the water.
