The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world at that time. It had good facilities such as: a fully air conditional
cabin, restaurant, bar, mini shop, recreation space, ship’s band and singers, medical facilities, telephone, etc.
When the Titanic sailed from Southampton to New York in April 1912 with 819 crews and 1316 passengers, it
sank after it sailed for four days. It happened in North Atlantic Ocean. It hit a very big iceberg. Since there were
not enough lifeboats and all the passengers or the crews were very afraid, the ship sank rapidly, most of
passangers and crews sank and only few people was safe.
