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.
