TITANIC It's Been 111 Years Old Into The Depths Of The Atlantic Ocean.

Deep-sea submersible Titan, on an expedition to the Titanic shipwreck imploded, killing all five onboard. Both the Titan and the Titanic are now sitting on a seabed in a remote corner of the Atlantic Ocean -- 111 years and just 490 metres apart. The last moments of both were different, but there are some similarities between them too.

HISTORY

Titanic, launched on May 31, 1911, and set sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton on April 10, 1912, with 2,240 passengers and crew on board. On April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg, Titanic broke apart and sank to the bottom of the ocean, taking with it the lives of more than 1,500 passengers and crew.

Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service and the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. She was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, the chief naval architect of the shipyard, died in the disaster. Titanic was under the command of Captain Edward Smith, who went down with the ship. The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from the British Isles, Scandinavia, and elsewhere throughout Europe, who were seeking a new life in the United States and Canada.

The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury, with a gymnasium, swimming pool, smoking rooms, high-class restaurants and cafes, a Turkish bath and hundreds of opulent cabins. A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. Titanic had advanced safety features, such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, contributing to its reputation as "unsinkable".

Titanic was equipped with 16 lifeboat davits, each capable of lowering three lifeboats, for a total of 48 boats; she carried only 20 lifeboats, four of which were collapsible and proved hard to launch while she was sinking (Collapsible A nearly swamped and was filled with a foot of water until rescue; Collapsible B completely overturned while launching). Together, the 20 lifeboats could hold 1,178 people—about half the number of passengers on board, and one third of the number of passengers the ship could have carried at full capacity (consistent with the maritime safety regulations of the era). When the ship sank, the lifeboats that had been lowered were only filled up to an average of 60%.

Mystries & Fact's

1] How deep down is the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean?

The Titanic wreckage, which is about 12,500 feet deep in the North Atlantic, is in the midnight zone. That's as deep as about nine Empire State Buildings stacked on top of each other.

2] What country did the Titanic sink?

This area, since 1991, has been called 'Titanic Canyon' after the idea of the marine geologist Alan Ruffman. The wreck is located in the northern Atlantic Ocean, 650 kilometres southeast of the coast of Newfoundland (Canada). The ship lies some 3,800 metres under the sea.

3] How many died in Titanic?

1,503 died

According to the U.S. committee investigating the sinking, 1,517 lives were lost, and its British counterpart determined that 1,503 died. The crew suffered the most casualties, with about 700 fatalities. Third class also suffered greatly, as only 174 of its approximately 710 passengers survived.

4] Where is the Titanic now?

The ship was near Newfoundland, Canada, when it sank. It was just about 400 miles off the coast. Most of the Titanic wreckage remains about 350 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, according to NOAA.

5] Why did the Titanic sink so fast?

The Secret of How the Titanic Sank

The ship wasn't nimble enough to avoid an iceberg that lookouts spotted (the only way to detect icebergs at the time) at the last minute in the darkness. As the ice bumped along its starboard side, it punched holes in the ship's steel plates, flooding six compartments.

Conclusion

Titanic ends with Rose finishing her story, and the crew accepting that the jewel will never be found. Brock, though disappointed, is moved by Rose's story and gains a keener understanding of what really happened that night. However, Rose still has the Heart of the Ocean, a secret token of her experience.
