The Excellent Account of the Sinking of the "Unsinkable Ship"
Since man first ventured onto the oceans human history has recorded many ship wrecks with significant loss of life. Argueably the most memorable sea diaster in history, and the one I find most fasinating for reasons I will discuss in this review, is the sinking of RMS Titanic on April 14-15, 1912. As described in the author's narative, after boarding the crew and most passangers, the RMS Titanic, advertised as "the Ship of Dreams" and "Unsinkable", began her maiden voyage on Wednesday April 10, 1912 from Southhampton, England sailing to Queenstown, Ireland, to take on more passengers. The RMS Titanic, the newest addition to the prestigious White Star Line Company, with 2,223 passengers and crew aboard steamed out of Queenstown, on the morning of April11, 1912 travling the long established North Atlantic shipping lane, bound for New York City. Cruising at near top speed, without incident April 11, 12, 13, and 14. The Titanic crew did their jobs diligently, and the passengers of all classes enjoyed the beautiful decor, wonderful food, and the many other amenities available to them. The weather was very pleasant until it became quite cool the morning of April 14. The Titanic received Iceberg Warnings that same morning and took appropriate percautions. At 1140 pm April 14, lookouts reported the an iceberg, and despitei taking prompt and correct action the bridge officer was unable to avoid the collision with an iceberg to the right of her bow which tore through 5 of the 7 water tight sections of the ship. First responders reported that the ship was taking on massive amounts of sea water, with14 feet of water aboard at 1159 pm. The Captain ordered abandon ship shortly there after. Although Titanic carried the number of lifeboats required by law, they could only hold 1000 souls. Further the lack of lifeboat training and drills for crew or passengers resulted in only 705 people surviving the diaster. At 0240 am on April 15, 1912, while the the ships orcastra played on the great ships sank into the frigid North Atlantic waters with more than 1,500 souls still onboard.
