Here is your first class ticket on the Titanic! The Titanic was a passenger cruise ship that used a brand new way of building.. It took over 26 months to build it. The Titanic stood 28 feet high. It weighed over 6,000 tons. The builders used over 2,000 plates of steel. The Titanic is a ship that was famous for it’s sinking on April 14-15, 1912. It was the most luxurious boat of its time. The boat was a sight to see!


The Titanic had a crazy drill once it hit the iceberg. There were no orders or guidelines to follow for an emergency at sea. When the iceberg hit, it shook the whole boat. The kids used the snow and ice to throw at each other. Some people went back to sleep. Soon, the boat shook to one side and tipped. Water started running out through the 6 watertight compartments. The people on the bottom 2 decks already had to try and save themselves. They were the first few people to lose their lives on the “unsinkable” Titanic. The higher decks soon had to get into the lifeboats. But then, the big ship faced the end of its time, it sunk!

There were not even enough lifeboats even if they were all filled to the max. The lifeboats that they did manage to fill were not filled to capacity. The reasons why the others were half full were because of the new rule the ship had. Only women and children were allowed first on the lifeboats. Many wives did not want to leave their husbands. They refused to go. The crew wanted at least some of the passengers to get to safety, so they went with what they got. When the ship started to sink, the last lifeboat was crowded around. It was madness! The Titanic is always going to be a unforgettable part of history!
