  1. Titanic Ryan Dawson

  2. Facts • Canceled Lifeboat DrillOriginally, a lifeboat drill was scheduled to take place on board the Titanic on April 14, 1912 - the day the Titanic hit the iceberg. However, for an unknown reason, Captain Smith canceled the drill. Many believe that had the drill taken place, more lives could have been saved. • Lifeboats Not FullNot only were there not enough lifeboats to save everyone on board, most of the lifeboats that were launched off the Titanic were not filled to capacity. For instance, the first lifeboat to launch only carried 24 people, despite having a capacity of 65. However, it was Lifeboat 1 that carried the fewest people - only seven crew and five passengers despite having a capacity for 40. • Another Boat Was Closer for RescueWhen the Titanic began sending out distress signals, the Californian, rather than the Carpathia, was the closest ship yet the Californian did not respond until it was much too late to help.

  3. Edward Pennington Calderhead • Edward Pennington Calderhead. He was born in Pennsylvania on 4 June 1869. • His last residence was in New York City, New York, United States. • Calderhead worked as an engraver before retiring to Los Angeles, California. • He died there on 5th April 1961.

  4. Anthony Abbing • His Last Residence was in Cincinnati United States • He was a Blacksmith • He was a 3rd Class passenger

  5. More men did not survive than women

  6. Women and children first

  7. Crew members that survived

  8. Why I chose the third graph topic • I chose the crew members that died and survived because almost all of them had died. Also it seemed interesting to me.

  9. Conclusion • In the end 1500 people died and only 700 survived. More people could have been saved if the crew and passengers were more prepared.
