CHAPTER 1
The Ship of Dreams
It’s April 1912. You’re thrilled to be traveling on the biggest, most famous ship in the world. The RMS Titanic is making her maiden voyage, sailing from England to the United States.
Everything on the ship is better than anything you imagined. Crisp, fresh linens cover the dining room tables, which are set with silver and china. The wood in the magnificent grand staircase gleams. The food is excellent, and there’s plenty of it.
pictureTitanic was as long as four city blocks.
The ship is also said to be the safest ever built. Its hull is divided into 16 watertight compartments. Devices on the compartment doors will automatically close the doors if water in the compartment reaches a certain height. This feature is designed to keep the water out of the rest of the hull and allow the ship to stay afloat.
pictureThe only problem you notice is the number of lifeboats on the deck. There are only 16, plus four collapsible boats. That’s enough boats for about half of the 2,200 passengers. But there are life vests in all of the rooms—more than enough for each passenger and crew member.
pictureIcebergs loomed as Titanic sailed south of the Newfoundland coast.
The five-day crossing of the Atlantic Ocean has been smooth. The ship is traveling at an amazing speed of 25 miles per hour. But by Sunday, April 14, you’re getting restless. The weather has been good for most of the trip. But this evening, temperatures have dropped below freezing. Titanic is scheduled to arrive in New York on Tuesday, April 16. You’re ready for this trip to end.
Around 11:40 p.m. Sunday, the huge ship shudders and jerks for a few seconds. Then the gigantic engines fall silent. Stewards appear in the hallways. They urge everyone to put on warm clothing and life vests and go to the upper decks.
Is this a drill? No one seems to know what’s going on. Soon you hear dreadful news. The ship has hit an iceberg. Even then everyone is confident that the ship is only slightly damaged. But what if it isn’t? Can you make the right choices to survive?
