The superstructure of the titanic was successfly approved
The gargantuan, steel plated Titanic superstructure was approved. Some people presumed the the reason that Titanic could not sustane the damage caused by the iceberg was because the superstructure was not strong enough, so why was it approved? -

The keel of the Titanic was laid
For anybody who dosen't know, a keel of a ship is it support, like the backbone of the human body. It is also made in sections (For the comparison to the human body, it is a ribcage). It took 3 mounths for the keel to be laid. The keel is very much like the backbone in a human body -
The hull of the Titanic was successfully launched
The hull of a ship is the superstructure (or the structure) of the ship combined with the keel of the ship. In the Titanic, the hull contained most of the 3rd class room and was over 30m long! -
16 wooden Lifeboat were fitted aboard Titanic
16 wooden lifeboats were fitted onboard Titanic. Note here that I said 'wooden'. This was considered a risk, because what if the Titanic caught fire? The passengers coudn't escape. Turned out that should have the least of their worries. -
The fiiting of the Titanic was completed
The huge job of fitting Titanic's superstructure, keel and hull was completed. (Seems to me they could of done the job a bit better!). -
Titanic begin sea trials
I'll ask this question again, why did the Titanic pass her tests, sea trials and the like? Maybe they were focusing on the fact that MAYBE Titanic could not hold the passengers that were boarding her? -
Titanic arrived in Southhampton
The stupendous Titanic arrives at Southhampton, its first location. 900 passengers got on the titanic in Southhampton. Remenber, most of the people who got on were looking for a better life in America, not going on holiday. Look at it this way, then the sinking seems like a real waste of man-made and natural resources. -
The Titanic reaches Cherbourg, France and picked up more passengers.
The Titanic picks up his second lot of passengers. -
The Titanic reaches Queenstown, (Cork), and begins its maiden voyage.
The Titanic picks up its final load of passengers and sets off on its Maiden voyage. (Unsupervised! Who was leaving a RHS ship in iceberg infested waters! You tell me!) -
The Titanic sailed through calm waters.
Calm days for the Titanic. Peaceful, you might say. Not for long. Ha Ha! -
The Titanic recieved several ice warnings throughout the day.
The Titanic DID NOT notice the signs and so therfore sinks in freezeing cold water. -
'Frederick Fleet' spotted an iceberg dead ahead.
Good on Frederick fleet! Turned out they spotted the signs. BUT they were too late. If I were them, I would have jumped of the side of the ship immediately, so as to save myself from unfortunate pain and misery. -
Water had poured in and risen 14 feet in the front part of the ship.
AND they did nothing about it. Pah! Typical titanic passengers. -
The captain was told that the ship could only stay afloat for another couple of hours
Oh, poor people. What a silly captain! -
Lifeboats were set down, and generally havoc as the Titanic lives its final hours
Oh dear -
An enquiry into Tianic was held
An enquiry. How formal for a maritime diaster.
