The Titanic Research Paper

Back in the 1900’s there was a mass number of large ships being constructed all at the same time. Through all these ships there was a particular ship that people just adored and paid top money to board. This incredible ship was named the Titanic. The Titanic also had an anther name: the unsinkable. However, the Titanic had a horrible tragedy during its time sailing. The Titanic, the largest steamboat of its time, struck a massive iceberg creating a gigantic hole in the back of the ship, causing it to sink to the bottom of the ocean killing a myriad of passengers as well as the dream that the ocean liner embodied. However, before any of this could happen, they had to construct this amazing ship of dreams. This RMS ship was a production of an insanely intense competition with many rival shipping lines during a majority of the 20th century (“The making of Titanic”, 1). They acquired the parts needed from different locations all across the world. The teak came from Siam, the steel from Scotland, the rubber and stern from Durham, and the fabrics from

They decided from now on to have enough lifeboats for everyone on the entire ship, so this tragedy would not occur again (“Disaster strikes aboard”,
