WHO WAS ON IT?
  • On April 10, 1912, the Titanic, largest ship
    afloat, left Southampton, England on her maiden
    voyage to New York City. The White Star Line had
    spared no expense in assuring her luxury. A
    legend even before she sailed, her passengers
    were a mixture of the world's wealthiest basking
    in the elegance of first class accommodations and
    immigrants packed into steerage.

Sinking of the Titanic
  • Stage 1 After the iceberg hit, the Titanic
    began to take on water in her first five
    compartments.
  • Stage 2 As the five compartments filled, the
    next compartment began to fill also. As the
    compartments filled, the Titanic's bow began to
    sink.

  • Stage 3 After the first compartments filled,
    the next ones did. Then the next, and the next.
    The stern of the ship began to rise and the bow
    started to sink more.
  • Stage 4 As the stern rose, the angle became so
    steep, that all moving objects on the ship began
    to crash towards the bow.

5
  • Stage 5Pretty soon, the lights flickered, and
    then totally went off. Leaving everyone on the
    ship, and in the lifeboats, with total darkness.
  • Stage 6As the stern rose, it stood almost to a
    90 degree angle. People on the ship grabbed for
    anything to hang on to.

6
  • Stage 7With the stern in the air, a weak spot
    developed between the third and fourth smoke
    stack, which caused the stern of the ship to
    break off.
  • Stage 8After breaking off, the stern rested in
    the water in the normal position.
  • Stage 9After about a minute, the stern was over
    taken by water, and slipped into the sea.
