The Titanic
INTRODUCTION Ana
RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the
early morning of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage
from Southampton, UK, to New York City, US. The sinking resulted in the loss of more
than 1,500 passengers and crew, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime
maritime disasters in modern history.
THE MAKING OF TITANIC Mar

The Royal Mail Steamer Titanic was the product of intense competition among rival
shipping lines in the first half of the 20th century. In particular, the White Star Line
found itself in a battle for steamship primacy with Cunard, a venerable British firm with
two standout ships that ranked among the most sophisticated and luxurious of their
time. The Titanic, the largest movable manmade object in the world, made its way
down the slipways and into the River Lagan in Belfast. More than 100,000 people
attended the launching, which took just over a minute and went off without a obstacle.
TITANIC’S FATAL FLAWS Ana

According to some hypotheses, Titanic was doomed from the start by the design.
On of the critical safety lapse that contributed to the loss of so many lives was the
number of lifeboats carried on Titanic

As befitting the first transatlantic crossing of the world’s most celebrated ship, many of
the passengers were high-ranking officials, wealthy industrialists, dignitaries and
celebrities. But by far the largest group of passengers was in Third Class: more than
700, exceeding the other two levels combined. Some had paid less than $20 to make
the crossing.
DISASTER STRIKES ABOARD TITANIC Ana

That encounter took place roughly four days out, at about 11:30 p.m. on April 14. A
lookout saw the iceberg dead ahead coming out of a slight haze. By the time the
captain toured the damaged area, five compartments were already filling with
seawater, and the bow of the ship was alarmingly down. . At that point the captain, who
had already instructed his wireless operator to call for help, ordered the lifeboats to be
loaded. The craft was designed to hold 65 people; it left with only 28 aboard.In the
middle of the confusion and chaos during the hours before Titanic plunged into the sea,
nearly every boat would be launched under-filled, some with only a handful of
passengers.

Exceeding Andrews’ prediction, Titanic managed to stay afloat for close to three hours.
Those hours witnessed acts of cowardice and extraordinary bravery. Hundreds of
human dramas unfolded between the order to load the lifeboats and the ship’s final
downfall: Men saw off wives and children, families were separated in the confusion and
selfless individuals gave up their spots to remain with loved ones or allow a more
vulnerable passenger to escape. Titanic, nearly perpendicular and with many of her
lights still on, finally dove beneath the icy surface at approximately 2:20 a.m. on April
15.
ANALYZING THE TITANIC CATASTROPHE Ana

Newspapers initially reported that the ship had collided with an iceberg but remained
afloat and was being towed to port with everyone on board. It took many hours for
accurate accounts to become available, and even then people had trouble accepting
that this paradigm of modern technology could sink on her maiden voyage, taking more
than 1,500 souls with her.
THE FILM Mar

Titanic is a 1997 American epic romantic disaster film directed, written, co-produced,
and co-edited by James Cameron. A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS
Titanic, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social
classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its voyage.
INSPIRATION Ana
Cameron's inspiration for the film came from his fascination with shipwrecks; he felt a
love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to convey the emotional
message of the disaster. Production began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the
actual Titanic wreck.
SUCCESS Mar
Titanic was the first film to reach the billion-dollar mark. It remained the highest-
grossing film of all time.When the film became success, it was credited as “The love
story that stole the world´s hearts”.
