The Birth of the Titanic

The plans to build the Titanic started in 1907. The director of the White Star Line, Bruce Ismay, and the director of the shipyard Harland and Wolff, William James Pirrie, decided to build three ships. These Olympic-class ships would have to be able to pass over the Atlantic Ocean with the speed of approximately 21 knots.

The first of the three ships built was the RMS Olympic which was launched on the 20th October 1910. Construction of the RMS Titanic began just before this on the 31st of March, 1909. The third ship was the HMHS Britannic, which was intended to enter service as a transatlantic passenger liner, was put to use as a hospital ship in 1915 during WW1. On the 21st November 1916, this ship was shaken by an explosion caused by a naval mine and floundered 55 minutes later.

The RMS Titanic was a Royal Mail Ship as it was also used for transporting overseas. At the time, it was the largest ship ever built and many people believed that it was unsinkable.

The Size of the TitanicDue to the large size of the Titanic, it took 3, 000 men, two years to build. After it was launched on the 31st May 1911, it received its engines, funnels and interior.

The Titanic was:

! Length - 2693.06 meters, or 882 feet 9 inches! Width - 28.19 meters, or 92 feet 6 inches! Height (base of the keel to the top of the bridge)– 32

meters, or 104 feet! Weighed over – 46, 328 tons! Had ten decks – The Promenade Deck, the Bridge

Deck, the Shelter Deck, the Saloon Deck, the Upper Deck, the Middle Deck, the Lower Deck, the Orlop Decks and the Tank Top.

! The Promenade Deck (exclusive for First Class Passengers), was 166 meters or 546 feet long.

! The interior was divided into 16 compartments, with each compartment divided by 15 bulkheads

! There were eleven watertight doors that could seal off the compartments

! There were four funnels on the deck, but only three worked. The fourth was installed to make the Titanic look more impressive.

! Cost $7.5 million dollars to build.! It was built to carry 3,589 people

Onboard the Titanic

Onboard the Titanic was a post office, a heated swimming pool, two gyms, four elevators, two barber shops and two libraries.

It even had its own newspaper called, ‘The Atlantic Daily Bulletin.’ Printed in this newspaper were news articles, gossip, advertisements and the daily menu.

Most passengers had to share bathrooms, but in third class there was only two bathtubs that had to be shared by over 700 passengers.

14,000 gallons of water was used each day by the passengers and crew while on-board the Titanic. It also carried lots of food supplies, that were needed for meal times. There was 40,000 fresh eggs, 40 tons of potatoes, 1,000 loaves of bread and 250 barrels of flour.

Other items it carried were 57,600 pieces of crockery, 29,000 pieces of glassware and 44,000 pieces of cutlery.

To move the Titanic, it took more than 800 tons of coal each day.

Page 7: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

There had been a lot of publicity about this ship and its dazzling chandeliers, lavish ballrooms and spectacular amenities, that people from all all over the continent clamoured to obtain a passage on the most luxurious ocean liner in the world. They thought they were going to experience the ultimate journey by sea in an unsinkable ship.

For its first voyage, the Titanic was to sail from Southampton, England to New York City, USA. With 2,224 passengers and crew on board, the Titanic left England on the 10th of April 1912. There were only 16 normal life boats plus 4 collapsible life boats that would hold about 1,708 people. The White Star company knew they needed more, but didn’t want to clutter up the decks.

There were three classes of passengers on board. There were 107 children, who were mainly traveling in third class. The richest man traveling on this ship was said to be Colonel John Jacob Astor IV. It is believed that he had a personal fortune between $90 and $150 million dollars, which would make him a billionaire a few times over today.

The youngest person on board was a little girl, Millvina Dean, who was 2 months, 13 days old. The oldest person on board, was a man by the name of Mr Johan Svensson. He was 74 years, 10 months and 29 days old.

Page 8: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

On April 14th 1912, four days into its journey, the unthinkable happened.

Even after receiving multiple warnings alerting them to the amount of icebergs in the area, the Titanic did not slow down, but continued to travel into the darkness at top

speed.

At 11:40pm, when the ship was about 375 miles south of Newfoundland, the lookouts in the crows nest spotted an iceberg, though it was too late. If they had been able to find the binoculars, they may have been able to see if

sooner.

First Officer Murdoch ordered that the engines be reversed to try and stop the ship. The ship was also turned hard to starboard, to try and turn away from the iceberg.

Hitting the Iceberg

Even with all of this, the Titanic couldn’t completely avoid

colliding with the iceberg in front of it. The iceberg punctured

holes in the ship, and immediately the lower compartments began

filling up with icy cold water.

Page 9: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

An iceberg is a huge chunk of ice floating in the ocean. They are usually the size of houses or large buildings

however, most of the iceberg is hidden under the water.

Icebergs break off from glaciers, or large masses of slowly moving ice in a process called calving. Even though icebergs are large and heavy, they float in salt water, as

ice is less dense, or lighter, than water.

When icebergs reach water that is warm enough, they melt away. Each year thousands of icebergs form in the

Arctic and Antarctica regions.

After the loss of the Titanic, several nations worked together to establish the International Ice Patrol. Today

there are patrols which warn ships about icebergs floating in the Atlantic shipping routes.

Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews, one of the designers of the Titanic, met on the bridge. They both

knew something major was wrong, especially when they found out which compartments were damaged.

Orders were given to prepare the lifeboats and the wireless operators were informed to send out distress signals, “CDQ”. None of the ships that answered were

close enough to help. The ‘Carparthia’ was about 4 hours away and started heading in the direction of the Titanic.

Rocket flares were also shot into the air.

Captain Smith remained calm as he ordered everyone to put on their life jackets and prepare to leave the Titanic. The passengers didn’t see the seriousness of the situation, many didn’t want to put on their life jackets or go with the lifeboats. This took a lot of time and many lives were

lost because of this.

Filling with Water

Page 11: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

It took almost an hour after hitting the iceberg for the first lifeboats full of people to be launched. There were not enough lifeboats on board for all the people aboard

the Titanic, and most of the lifeboats were launched with nowhere near full to capacity. There was also a policy for women and children to board the life boats first.

Over the next few hours, the Titanic continues to go down. The bow of ship begins to sink as the last lifeboats

are lowered into the water. It is estimated that there were still about 1,500 people left standing on the sinking

boat.

Due to the weight of the ship, the Titanic then breaks in two. It sinks completely by about 2:20am on the 15th April

1912.

The Titanic Sinks

1912.

Page 12: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

The RMS Carpathia was a passenger steamship built by Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson in England.

The maiden voyage of the Carpathia was in May, 1903 when she made its journey from Liverpool, England to

Boston, USA. She became famous for rescuing the survivors of the

RMS Titanic after it hit an iceberg.The Carpathia was sailing from New York to Fiume, Austria when it received a distress signal from the

Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at

maximum speed. It still took four hours to reach the Titanic. The Titanic had sunk by the time the Carpathia had arrived so she worked her way through the ice

and took on board the survivors.

During the First World War, the Carpathia was used to transfer Canadian and American troops to Europe.The Carpathia sank at 9:15 on the 17 July 1918 in the Celtic Sea. It had been torpedoed by an Imperial

German Navy U-boat. One torpedo hit the port side while another hit the engine room.

Apart from the five people who were killed by the torpedoes the rest of the passengers and crew

boarded lifeboats and were rescued.

RMS Carpathia

Page 13: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

There were only 710 survivors. Over 1,500 people lost their lives, with a majority of these being the men, that weren’t allowed in the life boats. Most of these people died from hypothermia as the water temperature was cold that night. One of the lifeboats did turn back to try

and pick up survivors, but it was too late.

When the RMS Carpathia did arrive, it collected as many people as it could and carried them back to New York. It

took the ship three days to reach New York as the journey was slowed down due to ice, fog, thunderstorms

and rough seas.

The news of the Titanic sinking had been relayed ahead, so when the Carpathia docked at New York, it was

greeted by about 40,000 people. Immediate relief in the form of clothing, transportation and shelter, was provided

to the passengers.

This obviously led to a frenzy of press interest, with newspapers competing to be the first to report the

survivors’ stories. It took another four days for a complete list of casualties to be compiled and released.

For years, many researchers and scientists tried to find the resting place of the Titanic. Although they had the ship’s last known location, they had no way of knowing how far the ship drifted in its final two hours before it sunk. Also, the ocean currents would also have caused it to drift while sinking the 2.3 miles to the ocean floor.

It wasn’t until the 1st of September 1985, when Dr.Ballard and his team discovered the remains of the

sunken ship, that the Titanic was seen again.

The wreck was about 13.5 miles or 21.7 kilometers from its last reported location.

The bow, the front of the ship, is almost 600 meters, or 1,970 feet, away from the stern, or the back of the

ship.

It currently remains over 2 and a half miles under the sea on the ocean floor.

The Titanic Found

Page 15: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

Due to the loss of life and worldwide shock, the tragedy of the Titanic is often referred to as the ‘greatest

maritime disaster in history.’

Due to this incident, there were major improvements in ship safety as well as the establishment of the International

Ice Patrol.

There is also a great debate about whether or not, artefacts from the remains of the Titanic should be left

where they are or brought up to the surface.

Many people believe that the artefacts should be brought up from the ocean. These artefacts are being restored

and conserved and used for research, education and put on public display. The wreck is also being destroyed by water and small organisms, which eventually will eat away at the wreck and nothing will be left but dust.

Though, many people still believe the wreck should be left along as it is a gravesite and many of the artefacts being

brought up are personal items. They believe it should remain as a permanent memorial on the ocean floor.

After the Titanic

Page 16: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

The Captain of the Titanic was Captain Edward John Smith.He was born on the 27th January 1850, in Staffordshire, England

and died when the Titanic sank on the 15th April 1912.

Edward Smith began his sailing apprenticeship on the Senator Weber. He joined the White Star Line in March 1880 as the

Fourth Officer of the SS Celtic.

In 1887, Smith received his first White Star command, the Republic and in 1888, he joined the Royal Naval Reserve. He sailed the

Majestic ship for nine years, even transporting troops to Cape Colony during the Boer War.

He gained a reputation and some passengers would only sail in a ship he captained. From 1904 onwards, he commanded the

White Star Line’s newest ships on their maiden voyages. June 1911 was when incidents in the ships that Smith was commanding

starting happening. While docking at Pier 59, The Olympic was being helped by twelve tugboats. One of these tugboats got caught in the backwash, spun around and collided with the

Olympic getting trapped under the stern.

20th September 1911, the Olympic collided with HMS Hawke, a British warship. This left one of the Olympic propeller shafts

twisted and compartments were filled with water. In 1912, the Olympic lost a propeller blade and had to return for repairs.

These two incidents caused the Titanic's maiden voyage to be delayed. Finally on the 10th April 1912, Captain Edward John Smith

got to command the Titanic.

Thomas Andrews, Jr was born on the 7th February 1873 in Comber, Ireland and died in the Titanic disaster

on 15th April 1912.He was the nephew of Lord Pirrie, who was the

principal owner of the company that built the Titanic -Harland & Wolff.

At the age of 16, Andrews left school and became an apprentice at Harland & Wolff. He gradually worked his way up, eventually becoming the managing director of

the company. He was in charge of designing.

Mr Andrews sailed with a team of mechanics on the maiden voyages of the Adriatic, Oceanic and the

Olympic to see how they operated and to recommend any improvements for future vessels, such as the Titanic which he helped design. He was also traveling on the

maiden voyage of the Titanic for this reason too.

He was always a popular man, assisting the crew with difficulties as they got to know the new ships.During the last hours aboard the Titanic, he

encouraged the passengers to wear their lifebelts and make their way to the lifeboats.

Joseph Bruce Ismay was born on the 12th December 1862 in Crosy, Lancashire and died on the 17th October 1937.His father was the founder of the White Star Line and also a senior partner in the firm of Ismay, Imrie and

Company. Bruce was an apprentice for Thomas Ismay’soffice for four years before spending a year to tour the

world.

On his return, he was posted to New York where worked at the White Star Line office for a year. He was made

partner in the firm of Ismay, Imrie and Company in 1981. In 1899, his father died and he became head of the business

which thrived.

Like Thomas Andrews, Bruce Ismay often accompanied his ships on their maiden voyages. Ismay was rescued

from the Titanic in Collapsible C.At the inquiry after the Titanic sinking, Imsay said that all vessels of the International Mercantile Marine Company

would be equipped with enough lifeboats for all passengers.

After the Titanic disaster, Ismay was called a coward for not following the women and children first rule. He was criticised by the newspaper reporters. He kept a low

profile, out of the public eye after this.He died in Mayfair, London after some health problems.

Margaret Brown (nee Tobin), also known as Molly, was born on 18th July, 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri and died on 26th October 1932 at the Barbizon

Hotel in New York. She married James Joseph Brown before being involved in the establishment of the Colorado Chapter of the National

American Women’s Suffrage Association. When a deep depression came in 1893, her husband came up with an idea to help the mine produce more gold for which he was awarded 12,500 shares of stock and a seat on the board. He eventually became

one of the most successful mining men in the country.Margaret then went on to become a founding member of the Denver Woman’s Club, she raised funds to build the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception and the St. Joseph’s Hospital and help establish the first

Juvenile Court in the country, all while studying literature, language and drama and raising her two children as well as her brothers three daughters. She also ran for the Senate position eight years before

women had the right to vote, making her one of the first women in the United States to run for political office.

She was traveling on the Titanic to visit a sick grandchild and this was when she became known as ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown’ for the work

she did during this time. After helping others onto lifeboats, she was forced into Lifeboat six, helping to row and encouraging them to return and search for survivors. When rescued by the Carpathia, she assisted

the survivors and helped establish the Survivor’s Committee of which she was elected the Chair of this committee raising lots of money for

destitute survivors.In the years that followed she used her fame as a Titanic survivor to promote issues that concerned her, including labour rights, women’s

rights, education and literacy for children and more.During World War I she helped rebuild devastated areas behind the front line and helped wounded French and American soldiers. For this she was awarded the French Legion of Honour. During the last few years of her

life she studied acting and drama.

Lucy Christiana Sutherland was born on the 13th June 1863 in London, England.

She married at eighteen and had a daughter named Esme. The marriage didn’t last long, so to support herself

and her daughter, she became a dressmaker. Her business was known as Maison Lucile.

Cosmo Duff Gordon was an investor in her company, but they later married in 1900.

She opened a shop in New York and began traveling between New York, London and Paris which was why

she was on board the Titanic. The Duff Gordons boarded the Titanic in France and were on their way to New York to attend to urgent

business. They were first class travelers on the Titanic. The Duff Gordons were rescued on lifeboat 1 which only had twelve people on it despite being able to hold forty

people.The Duff Gordons were ridiculed by the media with their lifeboat being called a ‘money boat’ due to the fact that Lucy’s husband Cosmo had offered a bribe to the seven

crew members that were on board the lifeboat.After Cosmo died in 1931, Lady Duff Gordon wrote her memoirs which she called ‘Discretions and Indiscretions’.

She died on 21st April 1935 in London.

Morse CodeIn 1836, American artist Samuel F. B. Morse, the American physicist

Joseph Henry and Alfred Vail worked together to develop an electrical telegraph system which sent pulses of electric current along wires which controlled an electromagnet at the receiving end of the

system.A code with silence between these pulses was needed and Morse

went on to develop that code. This code allowed operators to translate the indentations marked on paper into text messages.In the earliest code, only numerals were used. This was then

expanded by Alfred Vail to include letters and special characters. The shorter mark were called dots and the longer ones were called

dashes.When this code was adapted to radio communication the dots and

dashes were sent as short and long pulses.People were taught to hear this code as it was easier than learning to

read it from a page.

Can you decipher these Morse Code Messages?

The Size of the TitanicDue to the large size of the Titanic, it took 3, 000 men, two years to build. After it was launched on the 31st May 1911, it received its engines, funnels and interior.

The Titanic was:

! Length - 2693.06 metres, or 882 feet 9 inches! Width - 28.19 metres, or 92 feet 6 inches! Height (base of the keel to the top of the bridge)– 32

metres, or 104 feet! Weighed over – 46, 328 tons! Had ten decks – The Promenade Deck, the Bridge

Deck, the Shelter Deck, the Saloon Deck, the Upper Deck, the Middle Deck, the Lower Deck, the Orlop Decks and the Tank Top.

! The Promenade Deck (exclusive for First Class Passengers), was 166 metres or 546 feet long.

! The interior was divided into 16 compartments, with each compartment divided by 15 bulkheads

! There were eleven watertight doors that could seal off the compartments

! There were four funnels on the deck, but only three worked. The fourth was installed to make the Titanic look more impressive.

! Cost $7.5 million dollars to build.! It was built to carry 3,589 people

There had been a lot of publicity about this ship and its dazzling chandeliers, lavish ballrooms and spectacular amenities, that people from all all over the continent clamoured to obtain a passage on the most luxurious ocean liner in the world. They thought they were going to experience the ultimate journey by sea in an unsinkable ship.

For its first voyage, the Titanic was to sail from Southampton, England to New York City, USA. With 2,224 passengers and crew on board, the Titanic left England on the 10th of April 1912. There were only 16 normal life boats plus 4 collapsible life boats that would hold about 1,708 people. The White Star company knew they needed more, but didn’t want to clutter up the decks.

There were three classes of passengers on board. There were 107 children, who were mainly travelling in third class. The richest man travelling on this ship was said to be Colonel John Jacob Astor IV. It is believed that he had a personal fortune between $90 and $150 million dollars, which would make him a billionaire a few times over today.

First Voyage

make him a billionaire a few times over today.

The youngest person on board was a little girl, Millvina Dean, who was 2 months, 13 days old. The oldest person on board, was a man by the name of Mr Johan Svensson. He was 74 years, 10 months and 29 days old.

Page 58: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

For years, many researchers and scientists tried to find the resting place of the Titanic. Although they had the ship’s last known location, they had no way of knowing how far the ship drifted in its final two hours before it sunk. Also, the ocean currents would also have caused it to drift while sinking the 2.3 miles to the ocean floor.

It wasn’t until the 1st of September 1985, when Dr.Ballard and his team discovered the remains of the

sunken ship, that the Titanic was seen again.

The wreck was about 13.5 miles or 21.7 kilometres from its last reported location.

The bow, the front of the ship, is almost 600 metres, or 1,970 feet, away from the stern, or the back of the

ship.

It currently remains over 2 and a half miles under the sea on the ocean floor.

The Titanic Found

Page 59: All about the Titanic - Simple Living. Creative Learning · Titanic. The ship was immediately set on course for the last known position of the Titanic and was set at maximum speed.

Due to the loss of life and worldwide shock, the tragedy of the Titanic is often referred to as the ‘greatest

maritime disaster in history.’

Due to this incident, there were major improvements in ship safety as well as the establishment of the International

Ice Patrol.

There is also a great debate about whether or not, artifacts from the remains of the Titanic should be left

where they are or brought up to the surface.

Many people believe that the artifacts should be brought up from the ocean. These artifacts are being restored

and conserved and used for research, education and put on public display. The wreck is also being destroyed by water and small organisms, which eventually will eat away at the wreck and nothing will be left but dust.

Though, many people still believe the wreck should be left along as it is a gravesite and many of the artifacts being

brought up are personal items. They believe it should remain as a permanent memorial on the ocean floor.

After the Titanic

Thomas Andrews, Jr was born on the 7th February 1873 in Comber, Ireland and died in the Titanic disaster

on 15th April 1912.He was the nephew of Lord Pirrie, who was the

principal owner of the company that built the Titanic -Harland & Wolff.

At the age of 16, Andrews left school and became an apprentice at Harland & Wolff. He gradually worked his way up, eventually becoming the managing director of

the company. He was in charge of designing.

Mr Andrews sailed with a team of mechanics on the maiden voyages of the Adriatic, Oceanic and the

Olympic to see how they operated and to recommend any improvements for future vessels, such as the Titanic which he helped design. He was also travelling on the

maiden voyage of the Titanic for this reason too.

He was always a popular man, assisting the crew with difficulties as they got to know the new ships.During the last hours aboard the Titanic, he

encouraged the passengers to wear their lifebelts and make their way to the lifeboats.

Margaret Brown (nee Tobin), also known as Molly, was born on 18th July, 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri and died on 26th October 1932 at the Barbizon

Hotel in New York. She married James Joseph Brown before being involved in the establishment of the Colorado Chapter of the National

American Women’s Suffrage Association. When a deep depression came in 1893, her husband came up with an idea to help the mine produce more gold for which he was awarded 12,500 shares of stock and a seat on the board. He eventually became

one of the most successful mining men in the country.Margaret then went on to become a founding member of the Denver Woman’s Club, she raised funds to build the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception and the St. Joseph’s Hospital and help establish the first

Juvenile Court in the country, all while studying literature, language and drama and raising her two children as well as her brothers three daughters. She also ran for the Senate position eight years before

women had the right to vote, making her one of the first women in the United States to run for political office.

She was travelling on the Titanic to visit a sick grandchild and this was when she became known as ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown’ for the work

she did during this time. After helping others onto lifeboats, she was forced into Lifeboat six, helping to row and encouraging them to return and search for survivors. When rescued by the Carpathia, she assisted

the survivors and helped establish the Survivor’s Committee of which she was elected the Chair of this committee raising lots of money for

destitute survivors.In the years that followed she used her fame as a Titanic survivor to promote issues that concerned her, including labour rights, women’s

rights, education and literacy for children and more.During World War I she helped rebuild devastated areas behind the front line and helped wounded French and American soldiers. For this she was awarded the French Legion of Honour. During the last few years of her

life she studied acting and drama.

Lucy Christiana Sutherland was born on the 13th June 1863 in London, England.

She married at eighteen and had a daughter named Esme. The marriage didn’t last long, so to support herself

and her daughter, she became a dressmaker. Her business was known as Maison Lucile.

Cosmo Duff Gordon was an investor in her company, but they later married in 1900.

She opened a shop in New York and began travelling between New York, London and Paris which was why

she was on board the Titanic. The Duff Gordons boarded the Titanic in France and were on their way to New York to attend to urgent

business. They were first class travellers on the Titanic. The Duff Gordons were rescued on lifeboat 1 which only had twelve people on it despite being able to hold forty

people.The Duff Gordons were ridiculed by the media with their lifeboat being called a ‘money boat’ due to the fact that Lucy’s husband Cosmo had offered a bribe to the seven

crew members that were on board the lifeboat.After Cosmo died in 1931, Lady Duff Gordon wrote her memoirs which she called ‘Discretions and Indiscretions’.

She died on 21st April 1935 in London.
