What The Titanic Was Made Of
The titanic was made to be indestructible. It was
made out of steel. People thought that there was
nothing that could cause a 46,328 ton ship to
sink. Not even an ice burg. Little did they know
that soon they would find out that they were
wrong and that the huge 46,328 ton bulldozer of
steel wouldnt be able to survive anything. It
would go down and take hundreds of lives with it.
The picture below shows the controls of the ship.

A survivors story

• Charles Joughin is one of the most famous
  survivors of the Titanic. He has one of the most
  unique stories man has ever heard. This
  unbelievable man loaded himself with whisky
  before the crash. When the boat sunk he was in
  the freezing cold water for at least three hours
  before he was rescued. Most people believe that
  it was the whisky inside of him that kept him
  alive and kept him going. He has even appeared In
  the movie The Titanic. In the movie you may see
  a drunk man hanging onto the railing as the boat
  is sinking. That is supposed to be him.

This man is Charles Joughin.
