Why the Titanic Sank
By Bolton 5/4/12
The Titanic was a famous ship that sunk in the middle of
Atlantic Ocean. You may ask why, and it was because an iceberg from Greenland
broke a hole under the ship! I think the Titanic sank because the equipment was
old and broken, the telegrapher was ignoring iceberg warning and last it’s the
odd officer. No one knows if the mail was sent or not. The more you look at the
books, pictures and videos, the more you can see what happened.
First-the crow’s nest did not have a telescope/binocular.
They could have saved 1,500 lives if they had the equipment. The boat was made
of old pinewood and it broke or leaked easily. And two of the lifeboats were
broken.
They received lots and lots of telegraphic messages saying,
“Iceberg right ahead,” but they ignored most of the messages. Even if this is a
prank, they sent a mail to the captain.
The mailmen gave the mail to an odd officer. No one knew if
the mail was sent or not. After the Titanic sank, the mailman said that he didn’t
know who he is or which deck he worked on. So the people thought there might by
terrorists. Remember, the security was not so good like it is now.
Titanic was an Ocean liner. No one ever thought it’s going to sink. It’s too big
to sink! People on Ocean liners made
by White Starline have never had a ship that sunk. That’s why all the people
said it’s unsinkable! But now you can see I think Titanic sank because the
equipment was old and broken. The telegrapher was ignoring iceberg warnings,
and the odd officer that never delivered the message! The facts and evidence
showed that Titanic’s sinking was caused by HUMAN error!
