WhentheshiptheTitanicwasdesignedfortheWhiteStarShippingCompany,everyonewasveryexcited... When the ship the Titanic was designed for the White Star Shipping Company, everyone was very excited. It was going to be the biggest, the heaviest, most luxurious passenger ship ever! Even its name makes you think of great size and strength. ‘Titanic’ means very very strong and powerful.
On 10 April 1912, the Titanic set off on its first voyage across the Atlantic to America. As the Titanic sailed west, warnings of icebergs were sent to the ship, but didn’t reach the bridge. So the Titanic was travelling at almost top speed when it hit an iceberg. It sank two hours and forty minutes later. There were 2,223 people on board and 1,517died. On 6 May, 2006, the last survivor to have memories of the Titanic’s sinking, Lillian Gertrud Asplund, died at her home in Massachusetts, United States. Asplund, who was just five years old at the time, lost her father and three brothers in the tragedy.
One of the most famous stories is of the band. On 15 April, the Titanic’s eight-member band, led by Wallace Hartley, had tried to keep passengers calm and upbeat. The band continued playing music even when it became clear that the ship was going to sink. None of the band members survived the sinking. Hartley was considered a hero, and his funeral in England was attended by thousands.
The sinking of the Titanic has been the subject of many books, films and even songs. The 1997 movie Titanic brought the story back again and the song in the movie My Heart Will Go On is still very popular today.
