Hare) Next (RNA) The RMS Titanic, a British Olympic class ocean liner, became famous as the largest ocean liner built in her day and infamous for sinking on her maiden voyage, in 1912. This event ranks as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history. On the night of April 14, at 11:40 p.m., the ship struck an iceberg and sank in just under three hours with the loss of approximately 1500 lives. There are many descriptions of the disaster by the surviving passengers and crew and the sinking has been the subject of numerous investigations. The sinking of the RMS Titanic was a factor that influenced later maritime practices, ship design, and the seafaring culture.

  • “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W
    “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W. Baldwin I The White Star liner Titanic, largest ship the world had ever known, sailed from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York on April 10, 1912. The paint on her strakes was fair and bright; she was fresh from Harland and Wolff’s Belfast yards, strong in the strength of her forty-six thousand tons of steel, bent, hammered, shaped, and riveted through the three years of her slow birth. There was little fuss and fanfare at her sailing; her sister ship, the Olympic—slightly smaller than the Titanic— had been in service for some months and to her had gone the thunder of the cheers. But the Titanic needed no whistling steamers or shouting crowds to call attention to her superlative qualities. Her bulk dwarfed the ships near her as longshoremen singled up her mooring lines and cast off the turns of heavy rope from the dock bollards. She was not only the largest ship afloat, but was believed to be the safest. Carlisle, her builder, had given her double bottoms and had divided her hull into sixteen watertight compartments, which made her, men thought, unsinkable. She had been built to be and had been described as a gigantic lifeboat. Her designers’ dreams of a triple-screw giant, a luxurious, floating hotel, which could speed to New York at twenty-three knots, had been carefully translated from blueprints and mold loft lines at the Belfast yards into a living reality. The Titanic’s sailing from Southampton, though quiet, was not wholly uneventful.

  • The Titanic Is Unsinkable" - Said Philip A.S
    THE TITANIC Captain Jack Boddington (OMSA 871) "The Titanic is unsinkable" - said Philip A.S. Franklin, vice president of the White Star Line, who truly believed this to be true when he first received word, in New York, of the collision of the Titanic with an iceberg. The "unsinkable" Titanic, pride of the White Star Line, was launched at the Belfast shipyards of Harland and Wolff on May 31, 1911. The next ten months were spent on fitting her out. She completed her trials on April 1st, 1912 and arrived in Southampton on April 3rd. One week later she commenced her maiden voyage tor New York. The ship stopped at Cherbourg and then Queenstown to pick up passengers and mail - it may have been the call of the Emerald Isle to one of her native sons, or perhaps a premonition - but Irish Fireman J o Coffey deserted the ship while berthed at Queenstown. The Titanic had averaged 517 miles per day for the first three days - it was intended to press the ship to the full limit of her speed on Monday, the fourth day - - but for the Titanic, Monday never came! At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic off Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada, and two and one half hours later she sank. The Titanic was literally a floating palace. At over 45,000 tons and as long as four city blocks, she housed a gymnasium, swimming pool, palm garden, Turkish baths, a hospital with a fully equipped operating room and other travel luxuries, which were unheard of for the time, and which would cost the first class passenger up to $4,350 for a suite, for the Titanic’s maiden, and only, voyage.

  • Hard-Boiled and Jazz Crazy: the Development of American Detective Fiction and Popular Music in the Aftermath of World War I
    HARD-BOILED AND JAZZ CRAZY: THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN DETECTIVE FICTION AND POPULAR MUSIC IN THE AFTERMATH OF WORLD WAR I By Lisa Rose Williams A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of American Studies – Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT HARD-BOILED AND JAZZ CRAZY: THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN DETECTIVE FICTION AND POPULAR MUSIC IN THE AFTERMATH OF WORLD WAR I By Lisa Rose Williams This project is meant to explore the development of jazz and hard-boiled fiction in the period during which both popular forms found a national audience and reached the peak of their popularity – the years from World War I to the beginning of World War II. Chapter one deals with the emergence of jazz as a popular musical style distinct from ragtime. Jazz made national headlines with the Victor release of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band’s “Livery Stable Blues” on March 7, 1917 – just three weeks prior to the United States decision to enter World War I as a combatant. The jazz of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band offered a distinctly American sound that promoted the patriotic zeal of the time without challenging the dominant status quo – particularly in regard to race relations. The United States entry into World War I heightened tensions between white and black Americans, as evidenced by the high number of race riots erupting across the country during this period. To a limited extent, however, the war also helped pave the way for African American jazz through the work of James Reese Europe, whose military band took France and England by storm.
