The Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world when it
set sail from Southampton, England to New York City in 1912. No other ship has
captured the world’s attention quite like the Titanic did. Constructed to be
unsinkable, the first class ocean liner set sail on April 10 that year. The
world has awaited the maiden voyage of this luxury liner for years.
Then, on Sunday, April 14, four days after it
began its voyage, the Titanic was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean when
tragedy struck. At 1:45 p.m. messages were sent from another ship telling the
crew of the Titanic that large ice bergs lay, in its path. However, since the
Titanic’s radio operators were concerned with relaying messages to and from the
passengers, they did not report the message about the icebergs to the bridge.
That night, which was freezing cold the ocean
was calm and the moon was not visible, even though the sky was clear. At 11:４0 p.m.,
two members of the crew on the bridge spotted a large iceberg and telephoned
the senior officer, exclaiming, “Iceberg, right ahead!” When the ship struck
the iceberg, many people on board were drinking and socializing. So they did
not notice the sudden jarring movement of the ship. The crew, on the other hand,
soon realized that the Titanic would sink.
Sadly, there were not enough lifeboats before
departure because it wanted to make the Titanic look good. However, this was a
big mistake. It resulted in the deaths of 1,513 people that night. Of the 2,228
passengers and crew members who set sail, only about 700 of the Titanic
passengers survived.
I thought it was
surrounded by a solid 'wall' of class in British society at the time, and
upper-class aristocrats and millionaires, lower class middle class, such as
teachers, engineers, officers, workers belonging to disjoint. For example,
train seats and won the first, 2 and 3, and distinction, people were even
choose class belongs his seat.
I think in 'titanic' being brought in
as gap in British society at the time. Rose and Jack rose was third class cabin
guests first class cabin, Jack. Is a tremendous gap that the shipping cost of
the Titanic's first class cabin is 870 pounds, 2 class cabin is 13 pounds, 3
cabin is 3 to 6 pounds. Design dining room and aisles are doorways in all, meet
each other that not even was. It is truly a
microcosm of British society at the time. Was the mechanism by which men and
women do not love beyond the class gap and brought love field. It is was
predisposed to to love among the upper class in social circles.
