Titanic Journey

The most famous ill-fated passenger liner in history and the most famous or infamous iceberg throughout the whole of human history are both receiving huge coverage in the United Kingdom this particular April of 2012 - a full one hundred years later. I really feel that there is nothing more I can possibly know or imagine what happened on board that ship and in those too few lifeboats during that dreadful night in the Western Atlantic.

I just want to say that what happened was very tragic, but a lot more people could have been saved that night if they had of filled the boats to there capacity. They could have saved 400 more people, but they were to worried about letting the lower class people into the boat so they sat there in the rescue boats and listened to the mothers and their children and the husbands drowned, freeze to death and die. I have never been so discugsted with people in my life. There were 2200 people on the boat, enough boats for 1100 people and 1500 people died that night. THAT IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL. Think of all the children that they let die that night, all of the mothers and fathers all because they were not considered high class and they did not want to share a boat with them. I understand that this happened in 1912 but they could have had a little compassion for the people in the water. The boats fit 70 people each and they only put 20-30 people in each boat. I still can not get over the fact that they sat there waiting for a ship to come and rescue them, and all those people in the boats listened to them screaming because they were freezing and dying, and they had to watch their children & babies die cold scared and crying. There were a lot of selfish people on that boat that night who really needed a reality check because what they did was terrible.
I hope that when people read this they don't think I am a rude person, I am just simply expressing how I feel about what happened. It was a tragic event, and it was unfortunate that it happened; but you would think that in that type of situation people would be willing to look past if people had money or not. You think that they would have tried to save as many people as they were able too.
Just something to think about.

I am seeing titanic today!

This website helped me alot with my Titanic Project for school thanks alot

This was very sad and tragic and 1500 people died. Think about it that could have been your great granfather or something. The amount of people that died is the samew amount off two towns.

The crash of the Titanic was a horribbl thing and my thoughts go out to all of those who does on that "unsinkable ship". Sadly, of only the little who survived, our last survivor died not to long ago. Even though, I hope that the Titanic will still be remembered the same.

many a lesson has been learnt by the tragic loss of this majestic yet gracefull man made creation,its facination it seems is endless,how wonderfull it would be to re create titanic in its entirety and put her to sea as a going concern,surley that would be an honour to all those lost soles,the majority of which it seems had such great hopes for the future,utterly tragic.

You've got the date wrong for when Titanic departed Belfast.

The ship must have taken many hours longer than the 90 minutes you quote to get from Southampton to Cherbourg. I believe she arrived at 1830 having left Southampton at noon.

I am writing a story about a 13 year old girl on the titanic. For the 100th anniversary.
