Titanic Diary
A Voyage to Remember
Dear Diary, April 10, 1912, 12:00 A.M.
The Titanic is HUGE. I’m waiting in line to board it right now. Since it is a long line, I figured I could write a quick entry in my diary. I’m riding on the Titanic to New York to take care of my very ill cousin. She has been ill for a couple of weeks and I am the only family she has, so when I heard about the Titanic, I bought a first-class ticket for its first voyage. I have to go now; it is almost my turn to board. I will write soon. Dear Diary, April 10, 1912, 11:00 P.M.
When I got on the boat, I got settled into my first-class cabin. It is one of the most beautiful rooms I have been in. After I got settled in my cabin, I decided to explore the huge ship. I passed a lot of gorgeous and interesting places like the squash court, swimming pool, Turkish bath, and gymnasium, but my favorite place was the Grand Staircase. It has a glass dome over it to let the sun shine in. It was breathtaking. When I was exploring the ship, I heard someone calling my name, “Ms. Cornelia Andrews.” I turned around and it was an employee. He said that on Sunday, April 14, Captain Smith would like to invite me to dinner. Soon after receiving the message, I got hungry and decided to go get something to eat in the first-class dining room. I enjoyed a delicious ham and turkey club and met some people who I started to talk to. I talked to them until after dinner, and then decided to go to bed. I’m getting tired, so that’s all for now.
Dear Diary, April 12, 1912, 9:45 A.M. I just finished eating eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast. Sorry I didn’t get to write yesterday, I was

    On May 1, 1915, the Lusitania, a luxury, British ocean liner set sail out of New York, bound for Liverpool. Captain Turner read the paper earlier that morning appending that the Germans made an admonitory stating that they had submarines in the Atlantic that haven’t given their location. Nobody was worried, as everyone presumed that the Lusitania was the safest, most sturdy ship ever built! Only two people canceled due to the warning. Captain Turner had nothing to be worried about, so he thought. Before seafaring, family and friends were allowed on the ship to say their farewells to the passengers. After beginning the voyage, everyone began to get settled in. First class passengers had tons of suitcases full of heirlooms and expensive items.…

    Day Three: Todays date is January 31, 1873. The weather is perfect for sailing but too bad I can’t do anything because I’ve gotten seasick. The constant motion of the boat was something I was not prepared for. I’m just thankful we have lime juice stored or else we would all get scurvy eventually which is a lack of vitamin C. I am having doubts on if I will be able to make the whole voyage. It is getting to be too much but then again that might just be because I am puking my guts out right now.…

    Everyone felt the cold breeze on their face, their eyelashes; frozen. Their hair is iced in place and everyone is surrounded by freezing cold water. No one can feel their body, it has only been ten minutes but people around Rose are already dying. The movie, Titanic, is based on historical stories 50 years prior. White Star Line, the contractors for the creation of the Titanic, and many others, believed that the ship was unsinkable. Therefore, no one would get on the lifeboats. Although, today's forensic science proves many flaws that the ship held. The Titanic is the most influential American film because it illustrates a profound look into history, uses engineering to recreate the historical event, and demonstrates how to live life.…

    Her passengers included some of the richest people in the world, such as millionnaires John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim and Isidor Strauss, as well as over a thousand emigrants from Ireland, Scandinavia and elsewhere seeking a new life in America. The ship was designed to be the last word in comfort and luxury, with an on-board gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants and opulent cabins. She also had a powerful wireless telegraph provided both for the convenience of the passengers and for operational use. Though she had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, she lacked enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard. Due to outdated maritime safety regulations, she carried only enough lifeboats for 1,178 people – a third of her total passenger and crew capacity.…
