    The Titanic was constructed between 1909-1912 at a cost of $7.5 million to be deemed "unsinkable" but it sank on its maiden voyage in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg. Over 1,400 people died because the ship did not have enough lifeboats for all passengers due to the misconception that it was impossible for the Titanic to sink. The disaster revealed flaws in shipbuilding practices and led to new safety regulations like requiring enough lifeboats for all passengers and mandating radio communication monitoring.

    The text discusses the construction, engines, and sinking of the Titanic, with details about how it was built, its specifications, and what led to its demise.

    The Titanic was constructed between 1909-1911 in Belfast, Ireland. It took over 20 horses to pull a single 15 ton anchor during assembly. When complete, it was over 800 feet long and weighed over 46,000 tons.

    The Titanic was powered by two reciprocating engines with four cylinders each that drove the outer propellers. It also had 26 boilers and 159 furnaces powered by 660 tons of coal daily, producing over 46,000 horsepower and a top speed of 23 knots.

    UNSINKABLE

    BY: LEE ELEY

    INTRODUCTION
    The Titanic was said to be unsinkable.

    INTRODUCTION
    Over 1,400 people died.

    INTRODUCTION
    But why? You are about to find out all about it.

    INTRODUCTION
    From the construction, to the structure, to the reasons why the Titanic sunk.

    INTRODUCTION
    Right now you might not know much about the Titanic, but after this you will know all about it.

    CONSTRUCTION
    Construction for the Titanic began on March 31, 1909 in Belfast, Ireland.

    CONSTRUCTION
    The cost to build the Titanic was $7.5 million. To build the Titanic today would cost $400 million.

    CONSTRUCTION
    One cost of this construction was the steel that had to be imported for the hull of the Titanic.

    CONSTRUCTION
    When they were beginning to assemble the Titanic, 20 horses were needed to pull just one of the 15 ton anchors.

    FINISHED TITANIC

    CONSTRUCTION
    When the construction was complete, the Titanic was 892 feet in length, 92 feet in width, 175 feet in height, and weighed 46,328 tons.

    ENGINES
    The Titanic was powered by many engines. These engines powered the mighty Titanic and propelled it through the water.

    ENGINES
    Two engines powered to ships two outer propellers.

    ENGINES
    Each reciprocating engine had four cylinders. Steam passed through each of these cylinders to drive the propeller shafts.

    ENGINES
    660 tons of coal was used a day to power the 26 boilers and 159 furnaces.

    ENGINES
    The engines of the Titanic produced 46,000 horsepower to power the ship. The engines propelled the ship to a top speed of 23 knots.

    SINKING
    The Titanic sunk on April 15, 1912.

    SINKING
    Too many compartments filled up with water. This is what caused the Titanic to sink.

    SINKING
    The water-tight compartments were not sealed at the top. This meant that water from one full compartment could spill over into the next.

    SINKING
    Over 1,400 people died. Mostly because there were not enough lifeboats to carry everybody.

    SINKING
    Some passengers decided to stay on board the Titanic because they believed it was unsinkable.

    SINKING
    Now the Titanic lies approximately 2.5 miles at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

    CONCLUSION
    The sinking of the Titanic was one of the worst disasters in history.

    CONCLUSION
    The sinking of this ship has helped us learn the wrong ways to make ships. It has also helped us figure out the safest way to have ships like the Titanic with many people on them.

    CONCLUSION
    After the disaster, ships were required to have enough lifeboats to accommodate everybody.

    CONCLUSION
    Also, round-the-clock radio communications became the rule. This way distress calls would not be missed.

    CONCLUSION
    This will make the waterways much safer.

    CONCLUSION
    The sinking of the Titanic was one of the worst disasters ever. But it was also one of the most important learning events in history.
