25 The Titanic Disaster
“I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that.”
Background The RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic on its maiden voyage in April 1912 with great loss of life, mainly because there were not enough lifeboats.
Questions Who travelled on the Titanic? Did women and children have better chances of surviving? What about the crew? Why did so many die?
