3. RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the early
morning of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her
maiden voyage from Southampton, UK to New York City, US.
Before she sailed, many people thought it would be almost
impossible for her to sink.
At 11:40 PM on 14 April 1912, she hit an iceberg in the North
Atlantic Ocean. The iceberg broke the Titanic's hull, letting water
into the ship and the Titanic sank two hours and forty minutes
later.
4. The sinking resulted in the loss of more than 1,500 passengers and
crew making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime
maritime disasters in modern history. One reason why so many
people died was because the ship did not have enough lifeboats for
everyone on board. Not many lifeboats were on Titanic, because the
Titanic was said to be unsinkable.
Another ship, the SS Carpathia, did hear about the accident and
collected all 705 survivors. Sadly, the Carpathia was very far away
from Titanic. Many Titanic passengers froze to death in the ocean
before help came.
5. The Titanic disaster changed many maritime (ship) laws. Because
so many people died, authorities felt that laws should be put into
place to make ship travel safer. Changes included requiring all
ships to carry enough lifeboats for everyone on the ship, and
emergency materials such as flares. Someone must be at the ship's
radio all the time.
The story of the sinking has been made into several movies. The
most popular film version is a 1997 film starring Kate Winslet
and Leonardo DiCaprio called Titanic.
6. Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you
go on.
Far across the distance
And spaces Between us
You have come to show you
go on .
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on,
Once more you open the door,
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til
we're gone.
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always
go on.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on,
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on,
you're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on,
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
TITANIC MY HEART WILL GO ON LYRICS
