On the night of April 14th 1912, the Titanic was sailing from Southampton to New York on her maiden voyage. She was the world’s langest and most luxurious steamship of that time.
Suddenly, in the thick fog, the Titanic hit on an iceberg and water began to pour in. Panic and terror followed. Unfortunately on the “unsinkable” ship there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. When a rescue boat arrived in the morning, only 780 of the 2200 passengers were still alive. It was one of the greatest disasters at sea, a real shock to the whole world.
73 years later, in September 1985, scientists sent a robot, “Jason Jr”, down to 3,950 feet to find the Titanic in her ( grave). The video images were fascinating. All around the steam ship there were reminders of the life on the Titanic on her very first and last voyage: a botlle of champagne that the passengers never drink, a ceramic head of a doll that a little girl did not have time to take with her, a silver service bowl from a first class table, a metal bench from the ship’s deck. The passengers on Titanic were having a good time before disaster came on that terrible night in the Atlantic Ocean.
Excellent Ester!!!
