About Titanic
The Royal Post Ship Tıtanıc was the last great dream of the gilded age. It was designed as the greatest success of a welfare, trust and conformity age. Although no one knew, the world was about to change to a great extent. The radio was invented in 1901. The first successful flight of the Wright Brothers was in 1903. Old assumptions about class, morality and gender roles were about to collapse. The concept of Titanic was the peak point of the age, perhaps the collapse of the old drama and the beginning of the beginning of a new drama.
Extremely competitive transatlantic vapor ship work has recently seen great progress in ship design, size and speed. White Star Line, one of the leaders, is determined to focus on size and elegance rather than pure speed. In 1907, Lord James Pirrie, a partner of White Star Line's General Manager J. Bruce Ismay and Harland & Wolff (White Star Line's shipbuilder since its establishment in 1869), designed three magnificent steam ships to set a new standard for comfort. , elegance and security. The first two would be called the Olympic and Titanic, the last name was chosen by Ismay to convey an overwhelming sense of size and power.
It took a year to design two ships. Olympic's construction began in December 1908, followed by Titanic in March 1909. Harland & Wolff had to be redesigned to adapt to Belfast Shipyards to enormous projects, and the White Star's pier in New York had to be extended for ships to move faster. dock. During the last two years to complete Titanic's body, the press was overflowing with promotions about the glory of the ship, and Titanic became almost a legend before it was launched. The "launch of the completed steel in May 1911 was an intense show. Tickets were sold to a local children's hospital to benefit.
Later, the construction of many facilities and systems of the ship, attentive wooden workmanship and beautiful decor was taken for "hardware". As the history of his first journey approached, the completed Olympic suffered a collision and increased his workload in Harland & Wolff, which required comprehensive repairs, struggling to complete Titanic on time. Titanic's first expedition was postponed from 20 March to 10 April.
The Titanic was 883 fit length (1/6 mile), 92 fit width and weighted 46,328 tons.
From spine to the bridge to the bridge, it was almost under the water level of 35 fits ... However, above the water, most of the time was longer than the urban building. There were three piles of smoke; The fourth, puppet was added to a lot of pile, largely, to increase the impression of its gigantic size and strength and to remove smoke from numerous cuisine and galleys. He was the greatest moving object made by man. The enormous dimension and complexity of the ship are shown by an event reminded by the second officer Lightoller. On the Sancak side, there was a "horse and a scaffold gate enough to pass the car".
It was also designed as a wonder of modern security technology. It had a double -bodied body of 1 -inch thick steel plates and a system of 16 waterproof compartments (many announced) closed with a single electrical button on the bridge or even automatically triggered by electrically. Water sensors. The press began to call him "does not sink."
Their accommodation was the most modern and luxurious of any ocean, and in each room, electric light and heat, electric elevators, a swimming pool, a squash court (considered very modern), a Turkish bath, a mechanical and mechanical gym. Camera and first -class facilities that will rival the best hotels on the continent to keep riders in the form. First -class passengers would float down a large six -storey, glass -domed ladder to enjoy high dishes in the magnificent first -class dining hall on the D -deck. For those who want a more intimate atmosphere, Titanic presented a magnificent illegal restaurant, stylish Palm Court and Verandah restaurant and Festive Cafe Parisien. Two of the best musicians in Atlantic offered two music groups (rather than the standard), many of them were withdrawn from rival shirts. There were two libraries, the first and second class. Even third -class (steering) cabins were more luxurious than the first -class cabins on some smaller steam ships, and some of Titanic's immigrant passengers did not have their own homes (such as closed toilet facilities).
The original design required 32 lifeguards boots. However, the white star management thought that the boat deck would look scattered and the total lifeguard's boat capacity reduced the number to 20 for 1178. Although the Titanic has more than 3500 carrying capacity, it actually exceeded the regulations of time. People (passengers and crew).
The first journey attracted "the best people": British nobles, American industrialists, New York and Philadelphia's most creamy. He also attracted many poor immigrants, hoping to start a new life in America or Canada.
The journey began at Southampton on Wednesday, April 10, 1912 at noon.
Until the sunset, Titanic stopped in Cherbourg, France to get additional passengers. That evening, Ireland set out for Queenstown and set out for Atlantic on Thursday, April 11 at 13:30.
Experienced transatlantic passengers were deeply impressed by the new ship. It was so great that they almost never felt the movement of the sea. Huge, powerful motors did not produce almost any of the disturbing vibrations that were common on other steam ships, and their sounds were barely perceived. And it reached this extraordinary comfort level while traveling with 22 nautical miles, one of the top five, not the fastest boat on the route.
The weather was beautiful and clear and the water temperature was about 55 degrees. The winter of 1912 was unusual, and in the polar regions, an unprecedented amount of ice was broken. Titanic was equipped with Marconi's new wireless telegraph system, and the two Marconi operators kept the wireless room for 24 hours a day. On Sunday, April 14, on the fifth day at the sea, Titanic received five different ice warnings, but the captain was not overly anxious. The ship 22 knots progressed rapidly and the general manager of the line J. Bruce Ismay enjoyed the idea of arriving in New York the day before the program.
On the night of April 14, wireless operator Phillips was very busy sending his talkative passenger messages to Cape Race in Newfoundland, so that he could be forwarded to friends and relatives in the inner parts. That night he received a sixth ice warning, but he did not realize how close Titanic was to the position of the warning, and he put this message under a paper weight under his elbow. He never reached the captain Smith or the officer on the bridge.
According to all accounts, the night was unusual and dark, it was moonless, but it was slightly shining with an incredible sky full of stars. The stars were so bright that an officer thought of a planet Jupiter (later rising just above the horizon).
The sea was also unusual, calm and flat, and most of the survivors said "like glass." The lack of waves made it even more difficult to detect the icebergs, because there was no significant white water break on the edges of the mountains.
At 11:40, a scout in the crow's nest saw a dead fridge ahead. He informed the bridge and ordered the first officer Murdoch to return to the harbor hard. He pointed to the machine apartment to reverse the stern direction. The ship turned slightly, but it was very big, moving very quickly, and the refrigerator was very close. 37 seconds later, the biggest sea disaster in history began. 705 lives were rescued on the night of heroism, terror and tragedy, 1502 lives were lost and many legends were born.
