    THREE SISTER SHIPS
    Olympic, Titanic and Gigantic. This last one was transformed into a hospital ship, changing its name to Britannic after Titanic sinking.

    R.M.S. Titanic
    Titanic was the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship in the world. Although it was advertised as an unsinkable ship, it sank in just 3 hours during its
    first journey on April 15th, 1912.

    Construction
    Ship Details
    Weight: 46,000 tons + · Length: 269 m · Height: 53 m · Width: 28 m · Motor Power: 55,000 horsepowers · Maximum Speed: 22.5 knots (42 km/h)

    Ship Structure
    Of its 16 watertight compartments, only 4 could keep the ship afloat. Unfortunately, one more was damaged and flooded, allowing the ship to sink.
    Inside, the best parts were the common spaces, especially the famous first-class Grand Staircase with a spectacular glass dome at the top. Titanic was
    considered a floating luxury hotel to travel on.

    Journey
    On April 10th, 1912 Titanic left Southampton (England) course to NYC, stopping at Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland) to pick up some
    passengers. Captain Smith took a route further south than usual to avoid icebergs.

    Sinking
    On April 14th at 11:40 pm, Titanic hit an iceberg, sinking about 3 hours later. Sinking Time: 02:20 am · Casualties: 1,500 +
    Murdoch (First Officer) was warned of an iceberg’s precence, leading him to make the worst decision: trying to avoid the iceberg and stopping the
    engines. This caused the ice to hit the hull, letting the water to enter the ship and quickly flooding the safety compartments. At 00:26 on April 15th,
    Carpathia received the CDQ Titanic call. Being at 58 miles (93 km) away, it changed course and headed towards its position at its maximum speed. It
    took almost 4 hours to reach the wreck, being 04:00 am when Carpathia sighted the first lifeboat.
    Famous
    They are some of Titanic most important passengers:

    J. Bruce Ismay (Titanic Owner)


    President and director of the White Star Line company. He survived to the tragedy, for which he had to face severe criticism. However, modern
    historiography has made significant efforts to clear his name.

    Thomas Andrews (Titanic Designer)


    Director and head of the design department at Harland & Wolff in Belfast (Northern Ireland). In charge of planning and construction of Titanic, Olympic
    and Britannic. He was one of the 1,514 people who died at Titanic sinking.

    Edward Smith (Titanic Captain)


    British sailor known for being captain and commodore of the White Star Line and commanding officer of Titanic. In 1911, he assumed command of
    Olympic; and in 1912, he was appointed captain of Titanic, dying in the shipwreck.

    William McMaster Murdoch (Titanic First Officer)


    Titanic first officer, hired by the White Star Line. He was commanding over the bridge the sadly famous night. He was one of the 1,514 deceased.

    Margaret Brown (Titanic Survivor/Human Rights Defender)


    American socialite, social activist and philanthropist, known for being one of Titanic survivors. She was saved aboard lifeboat 6, in which she criticized
    and fought arguing with the boatswain Hichens because he refused to turn back and rescue more survivors; finally she convinced him, took the helm and
    returned. She later participated in the creation of the Survivors Committee. 100 years after the tragedy, she was known as “The Unsinkable Molly
    Brown”, although she never received that nickname in her lifetime.

    Isidor and Ida Strauss (Titanic Victims/Macy’s Co-Owners)


    Married couple co-owners of Macy’s who died at Titanic shipwreck. That night, they were near lifeboat 8. After refusing to board the lifeboat, Isidor
    urged his wife to do it, but she decided to stay with him. Ida’s last words were: “We have lived together a long time. Where you go, I will go”. They were
    last seen arm in arm on deck. Isidor’s body was recovered; Ida’s, no.
    Conspiracies
    Fire
    A fire broke out in one of Titanic boilers, damaging critically the iceberg hitting side. Modern ships contain 2 hulls; Titanic, like most ships of its time,
    had only one. The heat from the fire affected it, damaging its structure because the coal bunkers were just next to it.

    Empty Lifeboats
    The first lifeboats launched into the sea on both sides of the boat since 00:40, 1 hour after crashing (numbers 7, 5, 3, 1, 8, 6), were practically empty of
    passengers, carrying only 28 out of 65, 35 out of 70, 32, 12 out of 40, 28 and 24 people respectively. The evacuation was very slow at first; but starting at
    01:15 am, it accelerated. In addition, steerage passengers, who were the majority on the ship, began to pour onto the boat deck in large numbers.

    Californian Didn’t Help


    On April 14th, Evans (Californian Marconi Operator) was sending messages about sightings of large ice floes to nearby ships. Titanic received the first
    reports at 10:00 pm, but her radio was broken down. At 10:20 pm, Californian stopped its engines to avoid a collision. At 11:00 pm, Evans contacted
    Titanic again but he was rudely rebuffed by Phillips snapping: “Shut up, shut up, I’m busy with the Cape Race”. Evans, dissatisfied, finished his work and
    at 11:30 pm, he turned off his radio and went to sleep. A few minutes later, the disaster occurred. Titanic fourth and second officers detected the lights of
    a ship (Californian) at 5-8 miles away, and Captain Smith ordered Morse lamp signals to be made. Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

    At 00:45, Stone (Californian Second Officer) reported seeing white fireworks and woke Lord (Californian Captain) up to tell him, but he didn’t give it
    much importance. At 02:00 am on April 15th, Titanic disappeared. At 04:00 am, Stewart (Californian Chief Officer) relieved the guard and at 04:30 am,
    he saw green luminous fireworks about 19 miles away and recognized Carpathia, the steamship that was arriving in the area to rescue survivors. At
    05:30 am, Lord woke Evans up and he contacted the ship to inquire about the reason for the fireworks. Then he learnt that Titanic had sunk, so he
    headed towards its last reported position.

    Californian arrived at 08:30 am, when Carpathia was already leaving with the 706 rescued passengers and recommended them to sweep the area in
    search of more survivors. The crawl was brief; they only found floating debris and the small folding lifeboats. Californian continued on her way to the
    USA, and soon the crew testified in the Senate regarding the investigation of the tragedy. Prosecutor blamed Lord for not responding to the white lights
    (emergency) and not approaching Titanic. Lord earned a very bad reputation for negligence of omission.
