The Titanic History The Titanic History The sinking of Titanic caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.

RMS Titanic

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York City, US. The RMS Titanic, the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service, was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and was built by the Harland and

Wolff shipyard in Belfast with Thomas Andrews as her naval architect. Andrews was among those lost in the sinking. On her maiden voyage, she carried 2,224 passengers and crew. Under the command of Edward Smith, the ship's passengers included some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe seeking a new life in North America. The first class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury, with an on-board gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants and opulent cabins. A wireless telegraph was provided for the convenience of passengers as well as for operational use. Though Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard due to outdated maritime safety regulations. Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people—slightly more than half of the number on board, and one-third her total capacity. After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland before heading westwards towards New York.[2] On 14 April 1912, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm ship's time. The glancing collision caused Titanic's hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea; the ship gradually filled with water. Meanwhile, passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats, many of which were launched only partly loaded. A disproportionate number of men were left aboard because of a "women and children first" protocol followed by some of the officers loading the lifeboats.[3] By 2:20 am, she broke apart and foundered, with well over one thousand people still aboard. Just under two hours after Titanic foundered, the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia arrived on the scene of the sinking, where she brought aboard an estimated 705 survivors. The disaster was greeted with worldwide shock and outrage at the huge loss of life and the regulatory and operational failures that had led to it. Public inquiries in Britain and the United States led to major improvements in maritime safety. One of their most important legacies was the establishment in 1914 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which still governs maritime safety today. Additionally, several new wireless regulations were passed around the world in an effort to learn from the many missteps in wireless communications—which could have saved many more passengers.[4]

The wreck of Titanic remains on the seabed, split in two and gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet (3,784 m). Since her discovery in 1985, thousands of artefacts have been recovered and put on display at museums around the world. Titanic has become one of the most famous ships in history, her memory kept alive by numerous books, folk songs, films, exhibits, and memorials. On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic embarked on its maiden voyage, sailing from Southampton, England, to New York City. One of the largest and most luxurious passenger liners at the time, the Titanic was also considered by many to be unsinkable. On April 14, however, the ship struck an iceberg, and early the next day it sank. Some 1,500 people perished. Because of the tragedy, the Titanic became perhaps the best-known ship in the world, capturing the public imagination and inspiring popular books and movies. After the 1985 discovery of its wreckage, interest in the famed liner only increased. Some 100 years after its sinking, the Titanic remains an enduring legend. Through articles, photographs, and interactive features, Encyclopædia Britannica presents the story of the Titanic, from its construction to its early demise to its lasting influence on popular culture.

I have two long lost family members who used to work on the Titanic
One was called Mary Sloan who was A stewardess & the other Family member was called Peter Sloan Who was the chief electrician on the ship.
Mary Sloan survived the sinking by literally getting pushed onto lifeboat 16 which was the last lifeboat to leave the ship as it went down.
She didn’t want to leave so much to stay because all her friends were staying behind she told Thomas Andrews.
Peter Sloan sadly did not survive the sinking he went down with the ship Little is known about him.
There is more history about Mary Sloan but very little about Peter Sloan.
Because of my two long lost family members who worked on the Titanic.
I have decided to dedicate my life on research about the Titanic and her to sister Ships.
So I have set up a page and a YouTube channel with the name of the Titanic history.
On my page and YouTube channel there is a lot of documentary videos about the Titanic and her sister ships.
I have come to realise that the ship that everybody knows as the as the Titanic was in fact her twin sister ship the Olympic.
Because there was a switch of the two ships because the Olympic who set sail on her first voyage sailed to Southampton to pick her first lot of passengers up.
I’m going to set sail from Southampton she accidentally collided with a Royal Navy warship it was the Royal Navy warship at fault but because it was the Royal Navy war ship they did didn’t want to lay the blame at the Royal Navy or ship so they decided to lay the blame Directly at Olympic and the White star line.
And the insurance companies did not want to pay out.
So they towed the Olympic back to Southampton docks for a quick repair before sending her back to Belfast where she was built.
It was there whilst their Olympic and the Titanic was sat side-by-side in dry dock The decision to switch the two ships was made.
And it took over one weekend to switch to ships by a team of dedicated shipbuilders who was sworn to secrecy.
Because I was frightened if they spoke out but the switch of the Titanic and the Olympic The workers and their families would of been kidnapped by The White star line and killed.
To shut them up to keep their secret a secret.
As you can see in a lot of the documentary videos on my YouTube channel The Titanic history if you look closely at the wreckage of what everyone thinks is the Titanic You can see evidence that what a bloody knows as the Titanic is in fact the Olympic.
Look around the area of the ship where is the name of the ship was & look at the promenades and the portholes the windows as well as the portholes.
Also I ordered to get the both shapes carpeted everything that could be switched from the Titanic to the Olympic was stretched.
Now that’s go back to the repeller played that was not yet fitted to the Titanic was ordered to be fitted to the Olympics.

If no one believes what I am saying to be true please please take a look at my YouTube channel the Titanic history
