3. Construction • The Titanic was designed by special sort of sketchers. • The first stage of construction is the layout of the keel. The keel is the key structure is like the backbone of the human body. • After the keel has been laid, construction begins on the frame. The frame is similar to the ribs in the human body and it forms the basic shape of the hull. • The next stage in ship building is the rivet steel plate to the frame, in order to form watertight hull of the ship like the skin on the human body.

4. Facilities Onboard • Onboard passenger facilities included: 2 parlour suites, gymnasium, squash courts ,2 barber shops, smoking rooms (for men) and reading and writing rooms (for women) • Also they had A state of the art infirmary and operating room staffed by Drs. William O'Loughlin and J. Edward Simpson. • And darkroom for amateur photographers to try their skills.

5. Maiden Voyage • The vessel began her maiden voyage from,Southhampton, bound for New York city on 10 April 1912, with Captain Edward J Smith in command. As Titanic left her berth, her wake caused the liner SS New York , which was docked nearby, to break away from her moorings, whereupon she was drawn dangerously close (about four feet) to Titanic before a tugboat towed New York away. The incident delayed departure for about half an hour. After crossing the English channel, Titanic stopped at Cherbourn France, to board additional passengers and stopped again the next day at Queenstown (known today as Cobh or Ireland.

6. Iceberg Collision • On the night of Sunday 14th April 1912 Captain Smith, in response to iceberg warnings received via wireless over the preceding few days, he had drawn up a new course which took the ship slightly further southward. Until something bad started to happen about icebergs but they just didn’t listen.At 23:40, while sailing about 400 miles (640 km) They spotted a large iceberg directly ahead of the ship. Fleet sounded the ship's bell three times and telephoned the bridge exclaiming, "Iceberg, right ahead!". They tried everything left right but nothing worked. they lowered the life boats people jumped in .hours had gone by until the time had come…

7. The Sinking • People screamed and shouted the sinking had come .Everyone was terrified as they held on to the boat which was already halfway into the freezing cold water. "lower the lifeboats” shouted the captain so the life boats were lowered and some people were safe. Other people sadly died and went down or let go. Finally the boat sunk and was soon later found years later…

8. Survivors • Of a total of 2,223 people aboard Titanic only 706, less than a third, survived and 1,517 perished. The majority of deaths were caused by the cold water in the 28 °F (−2 °C) where death could be expected in less than 15 minutes. Men and members of the 2nd and 3rd class were less likely to survive. Of the male passengers in second class, 92 percent perished. Less than a quarter of third-class passengers survived Six of the seven children in first class survived, all of the children in second class survived, whereas less than half were saved in third class. 96 percent of the women in first class survived, 86 percent of the women survived in second class and less than half survived in third class. Overall, only 20 percent of the men survived, compared to nearly 75 percent of the women. Men in first class were four times as likely to survive as men in second class, and twice as likely to survive as those in third
