the Atlantic Ocean. The White Star Line decided to build the

• In 1912, the Titanic is the biggest ship that was ever built. It
is 269 meters long and everyone thinks that the ship is also
very safe. The ship can carry more than 3.000 passengers, and
has many decks, a swimming pool, a library, Turkish baths,
and excellent restaurants and bars.
• Life on the Titanic was as comfortable as life in the most
expensive hotels in Europe and America. There were many
kinds of people : rich and poor, young and old. Some of the
richest people in the world were on the ship.
The biggest ship in the world
• The Titanic leaves Southampton, on the south coast of
England, on April 10, 1912. There are 2.207 people on the
ship for its first trip. First class: 322 passengers Second class:
275 passengers Third class: 712 passengers Crew: 898
passengers The different classes don’t mix on the ship. They
slept, lived, and ate on different decks, the first-class
passengers are on the higher decks, the second-class
passengers in the middle and then come the third-class
passengers at the bottom of the ship.
5. The “Unsinkable Ship” sinks in the water
• Everyone thought that the ship was also very safe. There were
sixteen compartments. In an accidents, big metal doors could
close and then no water could get from one compartment
another. The Titanic became the famous “Unsinkable ship”.
Nobody seemed to worry about another important fact. The
ship could carry more than 3000 passengers, but it only had
lifeboats for 1178 people.
. The “Unsinkable Ship” sinks in the water
• On Sunday, April 14 comes the third ice warning on this day!
Captain Smith doesn’t show it to his officers. On 11:40 P.M. an
iceberg hits the side of the Titanic and fifteen minutes later,
water comes into the ship. No hope, the ship is sinking now.
April 14 early in the afternoon Radio operaters received so
many ice warming from a ship called Baltic. Unfortunately
they didn’t attend to warming message.
• Parents say goodbye to their children,
husbands kisses their wives for the last time.
• There is only one thing that Captain Smith can do. Just after midnight,
he orders the crew to prepare the lifeboats. Because there are more than
2.200 people on the ship, but the ship have only 20 lifeboats for 1.178
persons. So women and children are the first who are going.
• In the great ship’s final minutes the lights go out. The ship is breaking
in two pieces. People are still falling. At 2:20 A.M. the morning of
April 15, the “Queen of the Ocean” was sunk. The cold is terrible, but
much worse it is for the people in the black water. Many are screaming
for help, but the screams are becoming quieter, as the people in the
water become weaker and weaker.
Parents say goodbye to their children, husbands
kisses their wives for the last time.
• First class: 60% survived 130 died
• Second class: 42% survived 166 died
• Third class: 25% survived 536 died
• The crew : 24% survived 685 died
• Even after the accident, things were very different for first
class and third class passengers. The survivors from first class
were taken to the best hotels in New York. But the passengers
from third class were in a new country without any money or
clothes, or any of their things.
6. The World Cries
• Ten thousand people were waiting when arrived in New-York
on the evening of Thursday, April 18.Through newspapers
and radio, the eyes of the world were on the ship.
7. The Titanic on film
• When James Cameron was writing the movie Titanic,
he wanted to show the rich history of the ship and it’s
many true stories. The love story between Rose and
Jack was the most important part of the movie. If people
worry about the two young lovers, they will understand
the disaster more.
The Titanic on film
• While Cameron was making the movie, not everybody was so sure
about its success. It took a long time to make the movie. As it
continued, the cost went up and up. It finally cost between
185’000’000$-200’000’000$. But the world’s most expensive movie
became the biggest success. It earned over 1’600’000’000$.

8. Conclusion
• We like this book very much, because it is very interesting to
read about this history ship. When we saw the film, there was
a sad love-story about a poor young man and a rich young
lady. But the reality wasn’t romantic. We think the author
wants to show the different of rich and poor people. The most
of rich people survived, but the most of the poor people and
the crew died. We recommend you read about more exciting
story from this book. We learn new words and its easy to read
and we advise our friends to read this amazing story.
