  • Lesson 10
    • 2
  • The loss of the Titanic
    • 3
  • What'd have happened if only two of the 16 water-tight compartments had been flooded?
    • 4
  • The great ship,Titanic sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th,1912.
    • 5
  • She was carrying 1,316 passengers and a crew of 891.
    • 6
  • Even by modern standards,the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship.
    • 7
  • At that time,however,she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built,
    • 8
  • but was regarded as unsinkable,for she had sixteen water-tight compartments.
    • 9
  • Even if two of these were flooded,she would still be able to float
    • 10
  • The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered,
    • 11
  • for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.
    • 12
  • Four days after setting out,
    • 13
  • while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic,
    • 14
  • a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout.
    • 15
  • After the alarm had been given,
    • 16
  • the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision.
    • 17
  • The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice
    • 18
  • which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her.
    • 19
  • Suddenly,there was a slight trembling sound from below,
    • 20
  • and the captain went down to see what had happened.
    • 21
  • The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged.
    • 22
  • Below,the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly,
    • 23
  • for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded!
    • 24
  • The order to abandon ship was given
    • 25
  • and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water.
    • 26
  • As there were not enough life-boats for everybody,1,500 lives were lost.
