Introduction: Today, I want to share about Maria Beasley who was a housewife, dressmaker, and inventor. We can all imagine the scene at the end of the Titanic movie where Rose is slowly letting go of Jacks hand saying, “I’ll never let go, Jack. I promise.” (www.rottentomatoes.com/m/titanic/quotes) One of Maria Beasley’s inventions, that I will talk about soon, helped save many lives on the Titanic. Not much information is found about Maria’s life, but that she was born in Philadelphia and held many jobs including a dressmaker.
When Bethany is describing how it felt to surf after the incident she said, “It’s hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode a wave in for the first time after the attack.” (pg. 181) The attack made Bethany a stronger person and gave her a chance to share her story of faith. She feels like she does fine by herself (and God) and does not need to alter her life around the fact that she lost an arm, “I have a prosthetic arm, but honestly, I never wear it. It just hangs by the window in my room.”
"All aboard the R.M.S Titanic," Rosalynn and I heard. We couldn't wait to just hop on this maiden voyage to New York. I'm Georgiora Rustsits and my sister Rosealynn were boarding the R.M.S Titanic.

Finney was not sure what had hit him, but his daughter pointed out that he had blood gushing out of his back.

The R.M.S Titanic was a luxury Steamship made by Harland and Wolff Industries but its Architect is an Irish man named Thomas Andrews. The Titanic was a marvel of its time but it had its fair share of flaws. It had 15 watertight bulkheads compartments that had electric sealing doors that could be operated from the individually or simultaneously from the bridge. No one knew that the flaw in the bulkheads was a critical factor in the sinking of the Titanic, the bulkheads were watertight the walls that separated them were not so water could leak into one bulkhead from another if the boat began to list or pitch forward. It was the 10th of april 1912 around noon, the Titanic was ready to set sail on her maiden voyage she was considered a wonder of her time.
In the early 1900's one of the most catastrophic and well known events was the sinking of the RMS Titanic. The Titanic was a luxury ocean liner and was one of the most popular ships of its time. Everyone, young and old, poor and rich wanted a ticket on the liners first trip departing from Southampton, England and scheduled to end in New York City. The Titanic was also one of the biggest ships of the time at 883 feet long and the ability to hold over 2,000 passengers. It was one of the biggest of its time and was considered unsinkable, but as the saying goes nothing is impossible.
In his memoir, “The Truth About the Titanic,” survivor Colonel Archibald Gracie made note of “the pleasure and comfort which all of us enjoyed upon this floating palace…with its extraordinary provisions for such purposes.” Indeed, the $7.5 million Titanic was the floating equivalent of a four-star luxury hotel, equipped with intricate Edwardian gadgetry and posh conveniences. Beyond that, the 46, 328-ton liner—whose 882 feet 9 inch length, the New York Times calculated, was the equivalent of more than four city blocks—also represented the cutting edge in transportation technology and design. “She was the latest thing in the art of shipbuilding,” White Star chairman and managing director J. Bruce Ismay testified in a U.S. Senate inquiry into the Titanic’s demise. “Absolutely no money was spared in her construction.”

April 14th, 1912, is forever remembered as an incredibly tragic day. It was the day the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg, and after a mere four hours, sank to the bottom of the ocean, taking the lives of 1,500 people with it. When people hear “Titanic” they often think of death, the tragedy, how it happened and why it happened. But in this essay, we will look at what life was like on the Titanic before the tragedy occurred. Life on the Titanic was very different depending on which passenger class you were in.
The Sinking of Titanic The ocean is home to many famous wrecks but most of these ships are forgotten underwater. Some wrecks make a mark for history and those ones have been gone for up 100 years.
