Construction

• The Titanic was designed by special sort of
  sketchers.
• The first stage of construction is the layout of
  the keel. The keel is the key structure is like
  the backbone of the human body.
• After the keel has been laid, construction
  begins on the frame. The frame is similar to the
  ribs in the human body and it forms the basic
  shape of the hull.
• The next stage in ship building is the rivet
  steel plate to the frame, in order to form
  watertight hull of the ship like the skin on the
  human body.

Maiden Voyage

• The vessel began her maiden voyage
  from,Southhampton, bound for New York city on 10
  April 1912, with Captain Edward J Smith in
  command. As Titanic left her berth, her wake
  caused the liner SS New York , which was docked
  nearby, to break away from her moorings,
  whereupon she was drawn dangerously close (about
  four feet) to Titanic before a tugboat towed New
  York away. The incident delayed departure for
  about half an hour. After crossing the English
  channel, Titanic stopped at Cherbourn France, to
  board additional passengers and stopped again the
  next day at Queenstown (known today as Cobh or
  Ireland.

Iceberg Collision

• On the night of Sunday 14th April 1912 Captain
  Smith, in response to iceberg warnings received
  via wireless over the preceding few days, he had
  drawn up a new course which took the ship
  slightly further southward. Until something bad
  started to happen about icebergs but they just
  didnt listen. At 2340, while sailing about
  400 miles (640 km) They spotted a large iceberg
  directly ahead of the ship. Fleet sounded the
  ship's bell three times and telephoned the bridge
  exclaiming, "Iceberg, right ahead!". They tried
  everything left right but nothing worked. they
  lowered the life boats people jumped in .hours
  had gone by until the time had come

The Sinking

• People screamed and shouted the sinking had come
  .Everyone was terrified as they held on to the
  boat which was already halfway into the freezing
  cold water. "lower the lifeboats shouted the
  captain so the life boats were lowered and some
  people were safe. Other people sadly died and
  went down or let go. Finally the boat sunk and
  was soon later found years later

Survivors

• Of a total of 2,223 people aboard Titanic only
  706, less than a third, survived and 1,517
  perished. The majority of deaths were caused by
  the cold water in the 28 F (-2 C) where death
  could be expected in less than 15 minutes. Men
  and members of the 2nd and 3rd class were less
  likely to survive. Of the male passengers in
  second class, 92 percent perished. Less than a
  quarter of third-class passengers survived Six of
  the seven children in first class survived, all
  of the children in second class survived, whereas
  less than half were saved in third class. 96
  percent of the women in first class survived, 86
  percent of the women survived in second class and
  less than half survived in third class. Overall,
  only 20 percent of the men survived, compared to
  nearly 75 percent of the women. Men in first
  class were four times as likely to survive as men
  in second class, and twice as likely to survive
  as those in third
