Have you heard about titanic liverpool,one of the world's biggest ship at that time?Probably you have.However,many have but do not know the full story or detail about what happened.
Titanic is a unique ship,built in the shipyard of harland,measuring 269m in length and 28m in width,so large that its able to carry large number of people and large quantity of goods.
After the construction, april 10 1912,was the first time of conveying people to their various destinations,leaving Southampton and heading to newyork carrying about 2,200 humans on board.
There have been several warning by other sailors about an ice berg in the atlantic,some captains were asked to look out for this danger,but at a snap of the finger,they lost concentration.Before noticing how close the ship was to the iceberg,it was somewhat late.At 11:40pm april 14,the ship collides with the iceberg,althoug managed to avoid the face of the ship,scratched it edge causing so much damage to this uniquely built ship.
On learning that the great titanic will sink,lifeboats were lowered,saving the lives of just 705 individuals.
Sadly,on april 15 1912,at 2:20am,the great titanic sanked,consuming the lives of 1500 people.Those who were saving refused to return to the scene to check if there are still survivors. It was a tragedy in history.
