Titanic

Put the story of the Titanic into the correct order.

a. The Titanic had sent distress calls indicating the ship's position. One ship, The Californian, was close to the scene and could have saved many lives, but the radio operator was off duty and asleep. It wasn't until 4:00am that survivors in the lifeboats saw the Carpathia steamship coming to the rescue.

b. At around 11:30pm, a large black object was seen in the path of the Titanic. The ship tried to avoid the iceberg but it was too late. The iceberg punctured five of the ship's water-tight compartments and nothing could be done. Captain Smith ordered immediate evacuation.

c. On the evening of Sunday, April 14, while the passengers were having dinner, messages were received in the wireless room warning of ice. At the time, the Titanic was travelling at high speed, hoping to win the Blue Riband prize for the fastest Atlantic crossing.

d. Although the Titanic sank in 1912, its wreck wasn't found until September 1985 when a joint French-United States expedition, led by the American oceanographer Robert Ballard, used robot submersibles to travel 2.5 miles under the sea and photograph the wreck.

e. While many people fought for a place on the lifeboats, others stayed on the ship to help save the women and children. They included three American millionaires: John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, and Isidor Straus. The Titanic took 2 hours and 40 minutes to sink.

f. She made stops at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown in Ireland before heading across the Atlantic for America. The captain of the Titanic was Edward J. Smith. After a 25-year career with the White Star Line company, he was about to retire after the voyage.

g. According to British trade regulations of the time, vessels of over 10,000 tons were only required to have 16 lifeboats. The Titanic only had lifeboats for about half of the people on board. One of the first people to escape in a lifeboat was the managing director of White Star Line, the owners of the ship.

h. It took 2 years and 2 months to build the R.M.S. Titanic. It was the largest moving object ever built and the most luxurious liner of her time. The ship, which set sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York on April 10, 1912, was supposed to be unsinkable because of its 16 watertight compartments.

i. Of the 2,228 passengers and crew on The Titanic, 1,513 drowned including the members of the ship's band, led by Wallace Hartley, who continued playing while the ship was sinking. The investigations that followed led to many reforms. Ships had to include lifeboat space for every person and radio watch had to be maintained.
