 Have you ever heard about the Titanic and how it sank? Today, I’m going to be talking about how it actually sank and what it was like. The Titanic sank from a regular iceberg, so you think. You probably wouldn’t believe how big it actually was. I’ll tell you if you don’t freak out though, ok? Ok, so it was an astonishing 3,000 feet big! Imagine that? But that wasn’t the only cause of the Titanic sinking. But first, let’s talk about what it was like in the Titanic. The first thing about it was it was ALWAYS busy on the ship. You may ask why, and it was because there were three classes in the ship or three floors of rooms on the ship. The first class was usually more wealthy people that were most likely bankers or businessmen. The second class was full of a little bit less wealthy people and were usually tourists, professors, or teachers. The third class was actually mostly poor people because it was the cheapest floor on the ship. One of the main attractions on the ship was the Grand Staircase. If you’ve seen it before, And if you are asking already if it was actually made of gold, it was not. It was built out of oak. A fun fact for you though, the grand staircase was on multiple floors. Starting from the bottom deck, the E deck, then it goes to the D deck, then it goes to the C deck, then it goes to the B deck, and then it goes to the A deck, and FINALLY, it goes to the Boat deck and it stops there. Gotta be honest, that is tiring to say over and over again with counting backward in the alphabet from E to A. Let’s get to the point though. The first thing I want to talk about is the Captain of the ship. His name exactly was Edward Smith. Smith was already not trusted because he took the blame of sinking the RMS Olympic, the Titanic’s identical. Once it was heard that Smith was sailing the RMS Titanic, some people didn’t trust it because they assumed that he would sink that ship along with the Olympic. Any guesses on what Captain Smith did? Well, you’ve probably guessed by now that he sunk it. You might be wondering how though. Captain Edward Smith was sailing in the Atlantic Ocean going full speed, IGNORING the iceberg warnings. Long story short, he crashed the ship straight into an iceberg. Let’s go back to how they made the ship. When the made the ship, they put compartments on the bottom so if the ship crashed into anything, it wouldn’t sink. The only thing is that if the ship actually crashed into something, only four of the compartments’ maximum can fill up on the bottom without sinking. That was the other problem of the sinking of the Titanic. More than four compartments filled up all the wat, therefore, it sank. So, if you are still wondering who’s the fault it was overall, it was a lot of people/things fault. First off, it was the Captain’s fault for going full speed into the iceberg. Second, it was the iceberg’s fault for being so big and tearing so big of a gap in the ship. The last person/people’s fault it was is the people who built the ship because of how they constructed the compartments. And that’s it! That’s all from the story behind the Titanic.
