A TRIBUTE TO THE LIVES LOST ON THE TITANIC
By 7ony Stewart

Tragically more than 1,500 of the Titanic's 2,223 passengers died when the ship sank on her maiden voyage while in route to New York, in 1912, just two hours and 40 minutes after hitting an iceberg. During her day the Titanic was the largest and most luxurious afloat. She was said to be unsinkable. It had a double-bottomed hull that was divided into 16 presumably watertight compartments. Shortly before midnight on April 14, the ship collided with an iceberg and five of its watertight compartments were ruptured, causing the ship to sink at 2:20 AM April 15. It was determined later that the liner Californian, which was less than 20 miles away, and could have aided in saving many lives if the ships radio operator would had been on duty and received the Titanic's distress signals. The arrival of the steam liner Carpathia, 1 hour and 20 minutes after the Titanic went down prevented further loss of life in the icy waters. As a result of the disaster, the first International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea was called in London in 1913. The convention drew up rules requiring that every ship have lifeboat space for each person embarked (the Titanic had only 1,178 boat spaces for the 2,224 persons aboard); that lifeboat drills be held during each voyage; and, because the Californian had not heard the distress signals of the Titanic, that ships maintain a 24-hour radio watch. The International Ice Patrol also was established to warn ships of icebergs in the North Atlantic shipping lanes. FOR nearly 100 years, the blame for the sinking of the Titanic has been split between the iceberg and the man who sailed into it. The Titanic was built between 1909 and 1911, it was pulled together mainly with steel rivets, fitted by machinery. But the machine parts of the hull were fitted with old-fashioned iron rivets, which are easier to work by hand.National Geographic found experts in ship construction who were surprised at the damage caused by a glancing blow against an iceberg suggesting that the iron rivets holding the Titanic together would have torn too easily. I would have thought that running a liner into an iceberg at 27 knots would have been enough to do the damage.The White Star Line boasted in its promotional material by stating : "The science of shipbuilding… has now reached to a degree of perfection in its highest form which has put wind and water almost to defiance. It has not only robbed the sea of its terrors, but has imposed upon its unstable surface comforts and even luxuries of travel surpassing anything on land." Because of this confidence, the Titanic had enough lifeboats for only half its passengers and crew.At the time the Titanic was not only considered the largest ship ever built, but she was also considered to be unsinkable by her makers. The Titanic wreck was discovered in 1985, two and one half miles beneath the Atlantic. Oct. 30, 2006 — New research suggests the Titanic's hull had opened up like a zipper upon impact, flooding and sinking the said to be unsinkable ship. The life boats bounced around hitting the waves and frequently striking cakes of ice that were everywhere in the freezing waters. After four long hours of rowing life boats into the pitch dark icy cold Atlantic, survivors felt blessed to see the rescue ship Carpathia in the distance. Everyone was weak and on the verge of collapsing from the painfully suffering experience and loss of loved ones.
Cool Slideshows After reading the tragic stories of survivors paints a picture of panic, despair, sadness and bravery. When the Titanic first hit the iceberg, there was complete order among the passengers and crew. No one really felt there was any danger. However, as the lifeboats became fewer and the great ship began to slowly slip into the Atlantic, a realization of fate began to emerge in the minds of those still on board. One survivor, Miss Alice Farnan said: "The ship settled slowly, the lights going out deck after deck as the water reached them. The final plunge, however, was sudden and accompanied by explosions, the effect of which was a horrible sight. Victims standing on the upper deck toward the stern were hurled into the air and fell into the treacherous ice-covered sea. Some were rescued, but most of them perished. I cannot help recalling again and again.” Another survivor said by dawns first light she saw dead bodies of brave men float past the lifeboats and could hear the cries of women with a terrible reality of the disaster. Mrs. John M. Brown described her experience on the Titanic as the "Most harrowing and terrible that any living soul could undergo. Oh, it was heart-rending to see those brave men die," she said. Survivor Edwina MacKinzie said it was so dreadfully cold that night and very few people were getting on the lifeboats because they thought they would be rescued. MacKinzie was a second class passenger and by the time she reached the deck of the ship there was only one life boat left with only two seats available. She heard a older woman refusing to leave her husband so MacKinzie decided to give up her seat for the couple until an officer asked her to save someone’s baby. Today's Titanic Survivors: As of August 14, 2006 there are only two living survivors who survived the RMS Titanic disaster, in which it sank on April 15, 1912 after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean. The survivors are Barbara Joyce West was born on May 24, 1911 in England. She was 10 weeks old when the ship sank and lost her father. And Eliza Gladys Dean, born February 2, 1912 of South Hampton. She was only 10 weeks old and also lost her father. Regardless of the hopes and dreams of the 2,223 passengers aboard the Titanic, it all ended in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, as the largest moving object ever made by man, sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean her maiden voyage taking with her more than 1,500 souls with her. The men were the heroes, saving the women and children and went down with the Titanic. They were martyrs to their manhood. Because of the disaster it is a requirement that all ship carry enough life boats for the entire crew.The Grave of the Titanic

The story of the Titanic and the iceberg has grown into a legend of the sea. It took her discovery in 1985 to begin to find the truth behind the myth. One of the things that makes the Titanic so fascinating is that she represented the best of technology when she set sail on her ill-fated voyage in 1912, and it took the best of technology in the form of sonar, satellite tracking, and deep-dive technology to locate her grave 73 years later. In the early 1900's, waterborne transportation was the norm; today, satellites are taken for granted by our society. But we tend to forget the immense effort that these two technologies require to operate to their maximum potential. Until recently, the technology did not exist to locate, photograph, and explore this ship that rested two and a half miles down on the ocean floor. On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York. At that time, she was the largest and most luxurious ship ever built. At 11:40 PM on April 14, 1912, she struck an iceberg about 400 miles off Newfoundland, Canada. Although her crew had been warned about icebergs several times that evening by other ships navigating through that region, she was traveling at near top speed of about 20.5 knots when one grazed her side.Less than three hours later, the Titanic plunged to the bottom of the sea, taking more than 1500 people with her. Only a fraction of her passengers were saved. The world was stunned to learn of the fate of the unsinkable Titanic. It carried some of the richest, most powerful industrialists of her day. Together, their personal fortunes were worth $600 million in 1912! In addition to wealthy and the middle class passengers, she carried poor emigrants from Europe and the Middle East seeking economic and social freedom in the New World.The remains of the Titanic were found in 1985 by Dr. Robert Ballard, an oceanographer and marine biologist with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. When he located the Titanic, he saw that, as some survivors reported, the ship had broken apart. He believed the weight of the water-filled bow raised the stern out of the water and snapped the ship in two just before it sank. Debris falling out of the ship was strewn over a 1/2 mile across the sea floor. The bow and the stern were found nearly 2000 ft. apart. Keeping her location a secret, Bob Ballard used GPS to find the Titanic again when he returned the next year. He hoped to prevent treasure seekers from finding her and plundering the ship for booty such as coffee cups inscribed with RMS Titanic. On this second expedition, he visited the ship several times by submarine. On his last descent, he left a plaque honoring the 1500 victims and asking that subsequent explorers leave their grave undisturbed.

Find the Titanic again!

Eventually Bob Ballard released the coordinates of the Titanic's location. He recorded her coordinates as, stern section sits on ocean floor at 41o43'35" N, 49o56'54" W, boilers at 41o43'32" N, 49o56'49" W, bow at 41o43'57" N, 49o56'49" W. Find these coordinates and trace the outline of the sunken pieces of the Titanic on a chart of the North Atlantic.How far is it from its plotted course? At the time of the accident, the ship was reported to be at 41o46' N, 50o 14' W. (She was found 13½ miles southeast of the position given in her last distress call.) In 1912, navigation techniques of dead reckoning and celestial navigation could only give one an approximate location within several miles of one's true position.If the Titanic had had better navigational aids, could its passengers have all been saved? Could it even have avoided the iceberg? She started from Southampton, England, and stopped at Cherbourg, France and Queenstown, Ireland to pick up passengers. Her destination was New York. She sank 1000 miles due east of Boston, Massachusetts, and 375 miles southeast of St. John's, Newfoundland.

Lifeboats

The Titanic was owned by the British White Star Line, flew the British flag, and thus was under the rules and regulations of the British government. Although she was originally designed to carry 42 lifeboats, the ship carried only 20 lifeboats (four more than were required at the time by British regulations) for the 2,228 passengers and crew. (That number could supposedly hold 1,178 people.) The original designer of theTitanic had proposed 50 lifeboats, but the British owners of the White Star Line had decided against it. (If it had been under US Government regulation at the time, 42 lifeboats, enough to accommodate 2,367 persons would have been required for a ship that size.) Only 705 people were rescued; 1523 drowned or froze to death in the icy water. Ironically, most of those who drowned were Americans. Each lifeboat could hold 65 people. Unfortunately, the 20 lifeboats on board were launched before they were filled to capacity, so the number of people rescued was far fewer than could have been saved. Only 705 of 2,227 people on board survived. What percentage is that?

What do these figures tell you about the policy of saving women and children first, how social standing and wealth influenced who was rescued, and the tradition that the crew usually went down with the ship? Many of the poorest people were not aware of the seriousness of the damage to the Titanic until shortly before it sank.

The Titanic: End of a Dream

.. width="425" height="350" ..

THE BRITANNICFew realize that the Titanic had two nearly identical sister ships, the Olympic and the Britannic. The Olympic had a successful career as a liner until she was broken up in 1935, but the Britannic met with a fate nearly as unlucky as that of the Titanic. Serving as a hospital ship in the Aegean, it was either torpedoed or the victim of a mine on November 21, 1916, and sank within an hour. Thirty out of its crew died. Robert Ballard will search for the wreck of the Britannic and explore the evidence surrounding its dramatic end. November 21st, 1916, a calm day, found the 'Britannic' steaming through the Kea Channel in the Aegean Sea. Just after 8.00 a.m. she was rocked by a tremendous explosion and quickly began to sink by the bow. She allegedly struck a mine at 8.12 a.m. on the starboard side finally foundering at 9.07 a.m. The 'Britannic' at 48,158 tons was the then the largest steamer in the world. Despite all the extra safety bulkheads and double skin it took just 55 minutes for the huge ship to sink and Captain Bartlett, being a true captain, was the last to leave his ship.Even with all her modifications the 'Britannic' still sank. The first five watertight compartments were flooded. The sixth one was also flooded because the watertight door separating the fifth and sixth compartments didn't close all the way. The ship was capable of staying afloat with her first six compartments damaged. However, most of the ship's portholes were open because the nurses where airing the ship for the wounded soldiers that were going to board her in a few hours. This allowed the sea water to enter the ship. Had the portholes been shut, the 'Britannic' probably wouldn't have sunk. Amazingly, only 30 people were killed out of the 1,100 that were on board at the time. Most of these deaths occured when two lifeboats were launched prematurely and were sucked into the churning screws of the still moving 'Britannic'. Many ships in the vicinity had heard the 'Britannic's' distress call. The first ship to come to rescue was the British cruiser, HMS 'Heroic', followed by a local fishing boat. The two ships began taking on survivors. Shortly after that, the G-class destroyer, HMS 'Srourge' arrived. About two hours later, another G-class destroyer, the HMS 'Foxhound', arrived at the scene to rescue the remaining survivors. From these ships, the women and commanding officers were put on a boat to the island of Malta. There they remained until another hospital ship took them back to Britain. The remainder of the crew was transported to Marseilles, France. From there they traveled on trains to Le Havre, and crossed the English Channel to England.THE OLYMPIC

In the summer of 1907, at a dinner party in William J. Pirrie's London mansion, J. Bruce Ismay discussed the construction of two new mega liners to compete with the luxury, size, and speed of rival liners like Cunard's Lusitania. Cunard had just entered two new ships to their fleet that were very fast. The ships could easily travel at 26 to 27 knots. The White Star Line couldn't compete against these new liners and expect to win. These new ships from White Star were to be known as the Olympic class liners. They were intended specifically to beat out the Cunard Line for the Atlantic luxury passenger trade. On July 28, 1908, White Star owners, including Ismay, approved the principle design plans for the Olympic class ships prepared by the builders, Harland Wolff under the direct supervision of Lord Pirrie. Pirrie was also accompanied by one of the designers of these ships. His nephew, Thomas Andrews. Andrews would also perish in the Titanic disaster.On July 31 of the same year, a contract letter was finally signed for construction in Harland Wolff's Belfast shipyards for the Olympic, the Titanic, and a third sister ship, Gigantic. (Britannic)The Olympic's keel was laid down on December 16. Harland Wolff gave the Olympic's keel number as 400. The Titanic would soon follow as keel number 401.The Olympic was not as lavish as the Titanic, although very closely matching. One of the major differences between the Olympic and the Titanic was the Olympic's promenade deck , which was fully open. The Titanic was fitted with window covers over 1/3 of the length of the promenade deck. The Titanic also had some extra luxurious additions on its B Deck, that the Olympic lacked.On October 20, 1910, R.M.S. Olympic's hull was successfully launched. In June of 1911, she set sail on her maiden voyage. On the Olympic's fifth voyage to New York on September 20, 1911, "Old Reliable" (as she would later be called) had her first accident in a line of occurrences that continued throughout her career. The ship collided with the H.M.S. Hawke, a British navy cruiser. The two ships had been sailing on parallel courses off the Isle of Wight when the Hawke was suddenly sucked into the Olympic's side. The Olympic was under the command of Captain E. J. Smith. Both vessels were damaged but no one was hurt. The collision was followed by a lengthy trial in Admiralty Court.After the Titanic disaster, the Olympic was returned to HW for a major overhaul. She was refitted to make her a lot safer. Extra lifeboats were added. The Olympic went under four major refits during her 24 years of service.- First, the insulation of an inner skin ad midship. - Second, the ship's return to full peace time service after WW1. -Third, Cabins on B deck were pushed out to the edge of the vessel and other modifications were done to the ship. - Fourth, Her fourth major refit is not is not known at this time.The Olympic had an impressive war service. (The British Admiralty took over her at the beginning of the war). She rescued the crew of the British battleship, Audacious, that had been struck a mine. This however happened before she was commissioned as a naval ship. Once commissioned as a transport ship, the Olympic spent the time ferrying soldiers to and from the front. The Olympic survived four submarine attacks, transported 119,000 civilians and troops, she had traveled 184,000 miles and had burned over 34,000 tons of coal. It was at this time that she earned her previously mentioned nickname "Old Reliable".After the war, the Olympic had a major refit costing $2,430,000 but she was back in the sea lanes by 1920. She had one major accident on May 15, 1934. During heavy fog she rammed the Nantucket lightship and seven of the Nantucket's eleven crew members were lost. That same year White Star merged with Cunard and became Cunard-White Star.In March 1935 after losing business to newer ships, she made her final voyage to New York before being sold. She was stripped of her fittings and finally scrapped.Pieces of R.M.S. Olympic's fittings still exist today and can be found in many parts of the world. A large collection of her wooden walls are known to exist in many "pubs" in England. Most of her silverware and furniture are also known to still exist. All of them, scattered around the world.

THE LUSITANIA

The Lusitania is a famous British cargo and passenger ship. She was torpedoed by a German submarine activity in May of 1915, and sank ten years after she began her madden voyage. The birth of the Lusitania had begun in September of 1904. She was christened to wide open sea’s on June 7, 1906. The Lusitania carried people and goods from England and the United States. The Lusitania became well-known for her size, speed and lavishing accommodations. She was a floating palace of the ocean by her passengers and crew. The Lusitania voyages took her across the peaceful Atlantic Ocean again and again over the years, but this would soon change. World War I would soon escalate and German submarines threatened ships traveling across the great oceans. The Lusitania didn’t feel she was in danger because of her speed potential which would quickly allow her to flee if under attack. In sprite of threats from German officials, she set out from New York on May 1, 1915. On May 7, 1915, fate was in the air when the Lusitania took a direct hit from a torpedo of a German submarine. Although, did not explode, but the water pored into the first and second boiler rooms, causing a massive explosion that swallowed her into the sea. There is evidence that shows the Lusitania may have been torpedoed a second and possibly a third time. It didn’t matter because the second torpedo may not have been caused by a German torpedo, There has been an assumption that the Lusitania's cargo not only contained passengers, but also carried platinum, gold bars, diamonds and other valuable stones that were never found nor listed in port records. She was said to have secretly hidden beneath the cloak of furs and boxes supposedly containing cheese, there were three-inch military shells and millions of rounds of rifle ammunition. German officials later claimed this was reason she was torpedoed. However, there were some questions raised, whether the torpedoes destroyed the ship or internal ammunition explosions. The vessel sank within twenty minutes after she was struck, taking 1,201 people down with her. Only 764 people were saved by those who responded to her SOS distress calls. Many American lives were lost as a result of the sinking, and the United States believed the attack on her "was contrary to international law and the conventions of all civilized nations." The sinking of the Lusitania caused serious tension between the United States and Germany.

OLDEST SURVIVOR DIED JANUARY 20, 1997

Mrs. Edith Brown Hainsman, she was the oldest survivor of the Titanic, she was 100 years old when she died. She was 15 years old when she left her father Thomas Brown on the Titanic as he waved goodbye to here, promising to see her in New York.

OTHER SURVIVORS

Madeline Astor Madeline inherited from her husband the income from a five million dollar trust fun and the use of his home on fifth Ave, and in the Newport so long as she did not marry. In August 1912 she gave birth to a son with whom she was pregnant on the Titanic and she named him after her husband, John Jacob Astor. She relinquished the Astor income and mansions during WWI to marry William K. Dick of New York, and by him she had two more sons, she Divorced Dick in Reno, Nevada in 1933 to Marry Italian Prize Fighter Enzo Firemonte. Five Years later this marriage also ended in divorce. She died in Palm Beach, Florida in 1940 at the age of 47.

The Unsinkable" Molly Brown

Molly's life took a surprising turn after the sinking. Previously, her efforts to be accepted by Denver society had been unsuccessful, the Selflessness and heroism she had shown on the Titanic prompted her neighbors, for a short time, to open their doors to here. in 1924 she was named a potential candidate for Congress. As time passed on, however, she grew increasingly eccentric. her husband died intestate and she found herself at odds with her children over his money. in 1932, at the age of 65 she died suddenly in New York City after a stroke. It was only after her death, when she became the subject of the hit Broadway musical and film, "The unsinkable Molly Brown" That she gained some of the fame she would have so enjoyed in life.

Bruce Ismay

J. Ismay Retired as planned from the International Mercantile Marine in June 1913, but the position of managing director of the White Star Lines that he hoped to retain was denied him, surviving the Titanic Disaster had made him far to unpopular with the public. He spent his remaining years alternating between his homes in London and Ireland. because Ismay had never had many close friends, and subsequently had few business contacts, it was mistakenly easy to assume that he had become a recluse, he did enjoy being kept informed of shipping news but those around him were forbidden to speak of the Titanic. He died in 1937. Ruth Becker: 12 on the titanic she died 1990 Richard Becker: 2 on the titanic he died in 1975 Marion Becker: contracted tuberculosis at a young age and died in 1944 Fredrick Fleet: first officer who spotted Iceberg, took his life in 1965 Olaus Abelseth: died in 1980 Richard and Sally Beckwith: Richard died in 1933 and Sally in 1955

THE ATERMATH OF THE SINKING OF THE R.M.S. TITANIC

On the fifteenth of April, in the year 1912, the largest and most luxurious steamship in the world sank into the North Atlantic. This sinking was the result of a collision with an iceberg; a collision which had occurred two hours and forty minutes earlier. The steamship took with her approximately 1500 of her 2200 passengers and crew.The R.M.S. Titanic was, at the time, White Star Line’s finest achievement, offering more luxury, comfort and amenities that any other passenger liner of the time. The safety features she boasted included sixteen watertight compartments and a double hull.Titanic’s safety features, as well as her awe-inspiring presence, made it all the more unbelievable when she sank. Titanic had just over 700 survivors and it was because of their testimonies that the events on April 14 and 15 in 1912 could be pieced together.The reaction of the American public was disbelief anger and grief. The change in emotions probably had much to do with how the country received the news. Back in 1912, newspapers were able to pick up wireless messages. All of the wireless traffic overheard from ships in the Atlantic left reporters with an unclear message of what became of the Titanic. Philip A. S. Franklin, vice-president and general manager of the International Mercantile Marine, denied rumors, brought to him by reporters, that the Titanic had sunk. He stated, “We place absolute confidence in the Titanic. We believe that the boat is unsinkable."By 6:15 in the evening, after receiving a wireless communication from Titanic’s sister ship, Olympic, Franklin would be changing this belief. “Gentlemen,” he would say, “I regret to say that the Titanic sank at 2:20 this morning” (Butler 169). The stunned reporters issued extras for the newsboys to disperse. When America woke up on the morning of April sixteenth, it would be to the news that Titanic, the largest passenger liner in the world, had sunk, resulting in a major loss of life. The country was all the more shocked by this news because White Star officials held up the claim that Titanic was unsinkable.Once the truth was known, the White Star office in New York became bombarded with family and friends of Titanic passengers. John Jacob Astor’s son, Vincent Astor, went into the office and came out crying. People in front of the office “were openly weeping." This grief would turn to anger later in the day.People became angry as a result of the false assurances of Titanic’s safety. Another reason was, up until official word had been received, some newspapers had issued banners and headlines reporting the Titanic’s and her passengers’ safety. Others were dumbfounded. How could this have happened? Titanic was believed to be unsinkable and completely safe. In forty years of Atlantic crossings, only four lives had been lost. To have over 1500 lives gone in a matter of hours was unthinkable. No matter how amazing the story was, it was true.Besides the actions and reactions of the press and the American public, this writer has found the reactions of the survivors to be an interesting piece of the story. People can appreciate this more if they were to imagine being on Titanic on her maiden voyage.People who survived the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic reacted differently besides the obvious amount of grief. Bruce Ismay, the owner of White Star Line, secluded himself in a room on board the Carpathia, the only ship to come to Titanic’s rescue. He ate only soup and did not leave the room until Carpathia arrived in New York on the eighteenth of April. Harold Bride, the only Marconi wireless operator to survive the sinking would help relieve Carpathia’s wireless operator after getting medical attention for his frostbitten feet. Many of the survivors on the Carpathia searched for loved ones. The Carpathia’s passengers would later tell of how quiet the Titanic’s passengers were. This would be understandable considering the tragedy these people had just experienced.The laws concerning ocean voyages and the ships that embarked on them were extremely deficient. The Titanic had twenty lifeboats on board which would hold 1,178 people. While twenty lifeboats were insufficient so as to save everybody on board, that number actually exceeded the number required by the British Board of Trade. These requirements were based on the fact that “any ship exceeding 15,000 tons should provide no less than sixteen lifeboats." Titanic more than tripled that amount of tonnage.Another problem on board Titanic came as a result of a coal strike going on in 1912. Many ships on the day of Titanic’s departure were docked. Coal, as well as crew and passengers, were transferred to the Titanic. The new crewmembers were “unfamiliar with the ship, their duties, and with each other." They did not know their entire way around the ship, nor were they familiar with her operations; especially how to work the lifeboat davits.The sinking of R.M.S. Titanic holds a distinguished place in this country’s great history.
