15. Fun Facts
Class fares cost $7 5s (equivalent to $608 today) while the
cheapest First Class fares cost $23 ($1,928 today). The most
expensive First Class suites cost up to $870 ($72,932 today) in high

Third
The
Titanic originally was designed to carry 64 lifeboats. To save
from cluttering decks, the ship ended up carrying 20 on her maiden
voyage.
The
Titanic's crew failed to fire correct distress signals after
hitting the iceberg. Instead, the incorrect rocket pattern signaled to
any ship in the area: "I'm having navigation problem. Please stand
clear.“
If
the ship had hit the berg head first, Titanic probably would have
survived because of the strength of its bulkheads.

17. Self reflect
I think I did quite well on this Passion Project. I
think I deserve a fully meetings because. I stayed
on topic pretty much most of the class time I was
given. I think I could of added a bit more detail into
this project. Also I could have added a bit more
pictures.
