I think that it is written about the Titanic ochchen much about him, nothing is heard only muffled. And watched the film with DiCaprio's all. But how it all happened, how significant was the tragedy at the time.
He sank April 15, 1912, during his first voyage.
Titanic was the second of three ships of class "Olympic." This class of ships glittering splendor and moshyu their size. It was established that-be surprising. The idea of a luxury liner was first introduced in 1907, but construction of the "Titanic" did not begin until March 31, 1909 in Belfast (Ireland). The construction was entrusted to the shipbuilding company "Harland Wolff End." Exactly 3 years later it was launched, its construction has been expended $ 7.5 million. In construction, employed about 3,000 people. During construction, has been published numerous articles about the "Titanic" which talked about flooding the liner. Technology storitelstva that time was unsurpassed. "Titanic" had sixteen compartments that's just were waterproof and could be isolated from each other with steel doors that could be closed no more than 25 seconds.
Now of course on the picture you can see that most of the three million rivets used in the construction of the liner, rolled into povyskakivali after a collision with an iceberg. Through holes for rivets water quickly seeped into the hull. According to other theories assumes that storoitelstve used is not the best metal, the metal was discovered a large amount of sulfur, which makes the plate more susceptible to the icy Atlantic waters. But I think you should not blame the builders for the deaths, because metal used was the standard at the time. Although this fact has an important role in the death of "Titanic," but it was not the only cause. There is also a hypothesis that the crash occurred because the excess of safe speed in the Atlantic Ocean. According to some reports the owner of the White Star Line, Bruce Ismay instructed Captain Smith set a world speed record for a transatlantic move. Whether it was true or not, after the death of "Titanic" Bruce was asked to resign. I think that the rumors about the unsinkable "Titanic" were greatly exaggerated and could not properly sort out the situation. According to numerous reports, the nearest ship, they told about the danger of ice floes, but the leadership of "Titanic" has ignored the warning. Yes, and call for backup immediately, because in the radio room was the turn of the rich to "call a friend," this is not bad radio operators earned.
Many say that it was a little boats superliner. But it was not, at rates that were at that time, the number of boats was regulated tonnage of the ship, not the number of passengers. According to the rules of the time on the Titanic would be a maximum of 962 seats in the boats, and they were in 1178. Not all the boats were fully loaded, one of the reasons is that many could not believe that the Titanic would sink, and the boat seemed to be fragile. Women and children first refused to sit in the boat and the men had to show by example that it is necessary to leave the Titanic. Places on the boats missed the fact that-be have survived all the women and children and, in addition to 550 men. But the numbers are not as survivors and optimistic - 74% women, 52% of children. During the rescue there was no difference either before the passengers of the first class and third. Acting principle of "Women and children first." Third-class passengers did not want to throw their belongings, as a third-class passengers seats was more distant from the boats.

Very interesting story and poznovatelny
The terrible fate of the passengers of "Titanic" is already known to all, but thanks all the same article drew a lot of new. Thank you
Nice to hear such comments
Around the "Titanic" has many legends, even after 50 years of stories about him will be like the legend of Atlantis: the truth, where fiction - not tell.
Found in the blog Aport ...
But ... our frequenter of Arthur and Victoria Temnikova told that my site is more modern blog.3eko.com ......
Ships would be called "G ** NOM" - even though it had not sunk
A good site ...
How little ... online classroom resources! Your blog blog.3eko.com one of them ......
As a shipbuilder can tell you with full knowledge of the subject. Do not know which one of the ships sunk, but the fact that the ship sank due to an error of captain, to date, the court made on the same principle as the Titanic, a watertight bulkhead, only in the courts of their teperishnih 13 rather than 16, and in case of damage permeability of the three bulkheads, the vessel 100 percent remains afloat, receiving only a minor roll. Titanic is at a meeting with the iceberg had been ordered by the captain, "Rewind" and "Left rudder." But no vessel can not stop instantly, so the Titanic met the iceberg starboard, is proportional to a bulkhead 12 of 16. In this situation, the ship is doomed. Invisible in all the books written by navigators main rule: "If an accident is inevitable, meet her forepeak or afterpikom no way overboard," If we translate this into human language, you get hit Meet the bow or stern. At the same time constant are only two compartments, and in such a situation, a vessel can get yourself to the point of arrival. So the entire responsibility for the death of the Titanic rests solely with the captain ...
According to the first channel once upon a time was a movie about the death of the Titanic, and it said that the Titanic was not sunk, and his "brother" in Atlantic, like two peas in a pod like him. Titanic is broken just before his first voyage, but it is not made public. These are the losers here brothers
I also saw this movie, it said on the Atlantic and is not about that, instead of Titanic, Britannic sank. Incidentally, all three of the Olimpico (Olympic, Titanic and Britannic) sank. So all the little family was unsuccessful.
Very interesno.Spasibo for information, good luck.
Thanks for the info.
