Who Was To Blame Of The Titanic Essay
April 14th, 1912, is a day everyone will remember, it’ll go down in history as a day when disaster struck. Not too far from New York. The Titanic hit an iceberg which as a result made it sink in the North Atlantic Ocean. Nowadays we look back and remember this was an important event because so many people died when the ship sank, partly because of the lack of lifeboats. After the sinking no ship was allowed to set sail unless there were enough lifeboats for everyone on the ship.
It took nearly 3 years to build the titanic and it sank in 3 hours. March 31, 1909 Irish shipbuilder William Pirrie started building the Titanic in Belfast. May 31, 1911 was the day that the Titanic also known as the unsinkable ship was launched. William Pirrie (the …show more content…

The Carpathia, southeast of the Titanic by about 58 miles, picked up the distress call and began sailing to rescue passengers. As I said earlier April 14th, 1912 will go down in history as a day when disaster struck. Not only was it the largest and most luxurious/expensive liner at the time. Along with its sinking, more than half of its passengers were buried at sea. Its sinking later introduced a new era of realism where people began to understand even the GREATEST TECHNOLGY WAS NOT PERFECT, and there was and will never be no such thing as an “unsinkable
