The Titanic
The Titanic came from England and was heading to America but hit an iceberg outside New York.
It left on April the 10th sinking on the 15th of April 5 days after leaving.
Only 340 bodies were found after the sinking of the ship.
1,500 people died on the ship, about 1,160 bodies remain lost.
2,435 people boarded the Titanic, 705 people survived and 6 people were saved from the water.
All of the boots from the people are still scattered all over the ship. If you have a look today the boots will still be there.
It is not possible to raise the Titanic because it is 12,500 feet deep in the water.
The titanic is in two pieces and is really broken.
It was 4,000km from New York in America when it sank.
There were 107 children on the Titanic and 50 children died, which means 57 children survived.
It took 2 hours and 40 minutes to sink.
Out of a dozen (12) dogs only 3 very small dogs got let onto a lifeboat and survived. The dogs that were saved were 1 Pekinese and 2 Pomeranians.
Dogs, cats, chickens, other birds and rats (not the pet kind) were on the Titanic.
The Titanic is the biggest ship to ever sink. The captain of the ship is called Captain Edward J. Smith.
Captain Smith ignored seven iceberg warnings from his crew and other ships. If he had called for the ship to slow down then maybe the Titanic disaster would not have happened. It cost $7.5 million to build the Titanic and then it just sunk to the bottom of the ocean, so that's just a waste of money.
108 years ago (in 1912) the Titanic sunk.
There were many lifeboats that were half filled and could have had more people in it, there were 20 lifeboats but they only had time to release 18. 2 lifeboats went down with the ship. Even if they had more lifeboats they wouldn’t have had time to launch them all.
Other facts:
The titanic took 2 hours and 40 minutes to sink to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean
There were some really lucky people that didn't board on time and missed the boat.
At 11:40 PM the titanic hit an iceberg and at 2:20 AM the ship finally slipped from view
