The largest and most luxurious steamship in the world sank into the North Atlantic.This sinking was the result of a collision with an iceberg; a collision which had occurred two hours and forty minutes earlier.
As Cottam, now assisted by Harold Sydney Bride, the surviving radio operator from Titanic, began to transmit the names of the survivors, David Sarnoff, a 21 year-old radio operator from Philadelphia was one of the people with a receiver powerful enough to pick up the signals broadcast by Carpathia. (Sarnoff would eventually go on to create the first ever national radio network-NBC!). By April 18th, 1912, three days after the sinking, Carpathia was approaching the familiar landmarks of the Statue of Liberty, and the skyscrapers of New York. RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 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 With the lifeboats safely under tow from the Merritt & Chapman tug Champion, Carpathia finally turned and made her way the last couple of hundred yards back to Pier 54, where she was tied up by 9.30pm, ready to unload the extra passengers she had picked up only three days before.

By April 18th, 1912, three days after the sinking, Carpathia was approaching the familiar landmarks of the Statue of Liberty, and the skyscrapers of New York. (Coast Guard photo). Everyone has heard about the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic, but 98 years removed we have little connection to the disaster other than watching a movie or documentary. In the world of 1912, the April 14th sinking of the world’s largest, most advanced ship shook the world. Much like everyone remembers where they were on 9/11, the sinking of the Titanic captured the attention of the planet. It was possibly the first truly global disaster for mankind Titanic on her sea trials, 2 April 1912. At the time of her entry into service on 2 April 1912, Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liner sister ships, and was the largest ship in the world. Before all the steerage passengers had even a chance of their lives, the Titanic‍ '​s sailors fastened the doors and companionways leading up from the third-class section ... A crowd of men was trying to get up to a higher deck and were fighting the sailors; all striking and scuffling and swearing. October 14, 2000 Causes and Effects of the Rapid Sinking of the Titanic Prepared for Teacher’s Name University of Wisconsin By Vicki Bassett College of Engineering University of Wisconsin. Abstract On April 14, 1912, the R.M.S. Titanic collided with a massive iceberg and sank in less than three hours. When the hull of the Titanic was torn open in the collision with the iceberg, water began to flood the damaged compartments in the bow. As the ship pitched forward under the weight of the water in the bow compartments, water began to spill over the tops of the bulkheads into adjacent, undamaged compartments. TITANIC-TITANIC.com | Titanic Articles: The Aftermath of the Sinking of R.M.S. By Alyssa Freitas Christopher Sleeper-History 112 May 15, 2004. On the fifteenth of April, in the year 1912, the largest and most luxurious steamship in the world sank into the North Atlantic. This sinking was the result of a collision with an iceberg; a collision which had occurred two hours and forty minutes earlier. The Titanic was, at the time, White Star Line's finest achievement. She was nicknamed 'The Millionaire's Special' (Wade 19), offering more luxury, comfort and amenities that any other passenger liner of the time. The safety features she boasted included sixteen watertight compartments and a double hull (20). The next section of the article is a discussion of the material failures and design flaws that contributed to the rapid sinking of the Titanic. In the last section, the design changes made to ships and the safety regulations that have been developed as a result of the Titanic disaster are explained. The article concludes with a review of the causes and effects of the rapid sinking of the Titanic. In addition, the conclusion provides a future perspective on the limitations of the shipbuilding industry.
