3. Intro
Titanic
was the biggest ship made at the time it
was at service.
Titanic
collided with an iceberg on April 14 1912
at 11:50 pm . It sank 2 hours 40 minutes later at
2:30 in the morning.
It
was one of the most deadliest maritime
disasters in modern history
4. Construction
Titanic
was constructed on Queen's Island, now known as the Titanic Quarter
in Belfast Harbour, Ireland.
The
Titanic was about 270 meters in length, which is about 1/6 of a mile. It
also was 53 meters in height
They
thought Titanic would look better with 4 funnels when 3 were actually
working
Titanic
was owned by the White Star Line
Titanic
was built in about 3 years
It
took 7.5 million dollars to build
5. Passagers
2,566
tickets were sold in total.
1st class: 1034
2nd class: 510
3rd class: 1022
Some of them didn’t or couldn’t go so around 2,200
people got onto Titanic.
6. Life styles
Third-class
passengers could hear the loud roar of the
ship's engines in their cabins at all times.
Only
two bathtubs were available for more than 700 thirdclass passengers - one for men, one for women.
Most
On
third-class cabins contained four to six bunks.
the Titanic, only 2 suites had private washrooms.
7. Engine
It
used 825 tonnes of coal a day
The
engines each weighted 1000 tons
The Titanic had 29 boilers which used 159 coal
burning furnaces.
Titanic's
had two 4 cylinder engines
8. Nicknames
Some of Titanic's nicknames were:
●
The Millionaires ship
●
The Ship of dreams
●
The Unsinkable ship
●
and The wonder ship
9. Collision
The
collision happened around 23:40 on April 14 1912
They
saw the iceberg on 23:39, once the lookout sounded the
alarm, they only had 37 seconds to react.
The
water started flooding into the first 5 compartments on
the starboard side, which is to the right. The Titanic could
only stay afloat with any 2 compartments or the first 4
compartments fully flooded, so it sank.
12. Survivors
●
Only over 700 people manage to get on to a boat and
survive
●
The people who did manage to get on a boat were
picked up by the closet ship Carpathia.
●
2 dogs were also saved from the Titanic
13. Why so many died
●
There weren’t enough life boats for even half the crew
onboard
●
The boats were not fully loaded when they launched,
there was one boat which had 12 people on when it was
built for 40.
●
There was still 2 lifeboats empty when Titanic sank
●
A lifeboat drill was Originally planned to take place on
board the Titanic on April 14, 1912, but it had been
cancelled
●
There was a closer ship, but the Captain of that ship was
asleep.
14. The Wreck
●
●
Titanic's wreck sit on the sea bed over 3780 metres
beneath the surface.
It took about 15 minutes for Titanic to reach the ocean
floor
●
Titanic sank at a speed of about 16 km an hour.
●
The Titanic's hull was discovered 74 years later.
17. 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
season.
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.
19. 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.
