Death of a Titan
After years of construction and work, the Titanic was finally ready for her maiden voyage. The beginning of her voyage was to take place on the morning of April 10, of 1912 at approximately 10:00am. The firs of Titanic passengers began to board the ship. Most of these passengers were British residents who had journeyed to Titanic by means of transportation either that a boat train. The real precipitance came when the boat train arrived. People rich or poor were scattered all aver Southampton's bay, attempting to find their gangway. After the second and third class passengers boarded, the firs class passengers were to be escorted to their cabins. Approximately at 12:00pm Titanic was ready to set sail. After Titanic sets out into the open sea, her water displacement causes mooring ropes of the New York, which was a small ship, to brake. Which causes her stern to swing towards Titanic's mighty bow. Titanic official's quick actions prevent a catastrophic collision. After hours delayed the Titanic finally sets sail into the open sea headed towards Cherbourg, France. The Titanic lowered her anchor when arrived at Cherbourg, France, at about 5:30pm of the same day. More passengers boarded the Titanic. At approximately 8:10pm
People began accumulating in the stern holding on what ever they could. Every one on the bridge were altered, as the officers made the desperate attempt to steer the giant ship around the iceberg. This ship was believed to be the Californian. He picked up the phone and yelled into it "Ice burg right ahead" "Thank you" the officer on the other line replied. He saw an object darker than night it self, coming towards the Titanic. "What have we hit?" asked captain smith walking out of his room. Titanic lay at a 90* perspective for about a minute. Ida Straus refused to leave her husband, Isador, stating that she would go were her husband would go. The Californian decided to turn in for the night, and turned off their wireless. As the bow sank to the bottom of the cold Atlantic going at around 30 knots and with the immense water pressure, it began to fall a bit apart. Out of 1,500 people on the ocean only 6 remained alive. The last games of cards were breaking up. As Titanic's bow continued to sink, the weight of the stern in the air became to great. But then it to got overtaken by water. The bridge detached from the Titanic's bow as it was on its way down to the bottomless Atlantic.
