The Titanic was the biggest ship in 1912. The captain, Edward Smith, and the engineers who had designed the Titanic were sure that she was absolutely safe and unsinkable.
A lot of people bought tickets for the first voyage across the Atlantic from Europe to America. There were rich people as well as third class passengers, most of whom were immigrating to America.
The ship was fantastic. First class passengers could have everything they wanted: lovely music, delicious food, lots of entertainment. They felt relaxed and happy.
At 11.40 p.m. on the 14th of April, everybody on board heard a terrible sound. The Titanic had crashed into an iceberg. Sailors didn’t notice it in the dark, misty, cold night.
The panic began. It was discovered that there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers.
At 2.20 a.m. on 15th of April the Titanic sank and took more than 1500 lives with it.
The liner Carpathia arrived at the site of the tragedy at 5 a.m. on the same day and rescued the people in the lifeboats. In the end, only about 700 passengers of the Titanic survived.
