  • How to Survive the Titanic Or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay Free
    FREE HOW TO SURVIVE THE TITANIC OR THE SINKING OF J. BRUCE ISMAY PDF Frances Wilson | 352 pages | 14 Mar 2012 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781408828151 | English | London, United Kingdom The Life of Bruce Ismay After Titanic’s Sinking – Part Two How to Survive the Titanic. Or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay Frances Wilson, Bloomsbury. Frances Wilson invokes Herman Melville to compare Ismay to Captain Ahab and even to Noah in this often ludicrous bookbut predominantly plumps for Joseph Conrad in her meditation on the life - and the elemental living - of this single individual, in whom is seemingly forever embarked the fate of fifteen hundred. The first syllable asserts enduring existence, the second an implication of twin alternatives. Ismay lived, and his reputation died. Had he not entered collapsible C it is scarcely imaginable that anyone would have branded him a coward. Instead mere mortality would have conferred its very opposite, in the palpable vein of an Isidor Straus or any other drowned potentate of the merchant classes. But such is a preserved-in-amber afterlife. With Ismay, though he now be dead, we can still poke the wounds. And so Wilson, as sanguinary soothsayer, enters into her very own launch — because this is a commercial voyage, complete with the richly absurd sales claim that Ismay fell in love with a married passenger on the maiden voyage. He did no such thing. It is as well that this work is largely a meditation — albeit with some interesting photographs and detail provided by the Cheape family — as the author seems only rudimentarily acquainted with the Titanic story.

  • “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.

Unfortunately on the night of April 14, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank early the next morning, losing many lives. The loss of life made Titanic one of the worst maritime accident in history. Originally having over 2,200 passengers and crew on board only about 700 survived; most of the survivors being from the upper class.

  • 1 Titanic, the Real Cause of Its Sinking and Hidden Stories 1: a Century Has Sailed by Since the Luxury Steamship RMS Titanic Me
    Titanic, the real cause of its sinking and hidden stories 1: A century has sailed by since the luxury steamship RMS Titanic met its catastrophic end in the North Atlantic, plunging two miles to the ocean floor after sideswiping an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Rather than the intended Port of New York, a deep-sea grave became the pride of the White Star Line’s final destination in the early hours of April 15, 1912. 2: The Royal Mail Steamer Titanic was the product of intense competition among rival shipping lines in the first half of the 20th century. In particular, the White Star Line found itself in a battle for steamship primacy with Cunard, a venerable British firm with two standout ships that ranked among the most sophisticated and luxurious of their time. 3: The same year that Cunard unveiled its two magnificent liners, J. Bruce Ismay, chief executive of White Star, discussed the construction of three large ships with William J. Pirrie, chairman of the Belfast-based shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff. Part of a new “Olympic” class of liners, they would each measure 882 feet in length and 92.5 feet at their broadest point, making them the largest of their time. 4: Titanic’s Fatal Flaws According to some hypotheses, Titanic was doomed from the start by the design so many applauded as the most sophisticated art. The Olympic-class ships featured a double bottom and 15 watertight bulkheads equipped with electric watertight doors which could be operated individually or simultaneously by a switch on the bridge.

  • Observations Onboard the Titanic
    OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC www.oldepaths.com OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC While there are many things that Belfast has been famous for in her long and rich history, the craft of shipbuilding has probably headed that list. Out of all the vessels that have slid down the slipways in Belfast, the most famous was undoubtedly the R.M.S. Titanic. This was of course due to what occurred on that fateful night 14th April 1912 when she sank on her maiden voyage. The sinking of the Titanic is one of those events in history that even though it happened over a hundred years ago, it is still much talked about and debated to this day. The reason for this is that the tragic story of the Titanic is an event that stands out from all the rest as a landmark event. Not just was this a tragic event that generated great sadness, but one that was a great surprise. It was inconceivable that such a thing could ever happen. The sure horror of the sinking was what made it stand out, not unlike the horrific events that unfolded on 9/11 of this generation. In order to relate to the impact that the news of the sinking of the Titanic brought we should think of the events on 9/11 when we watched the live television footage; this is of similar magnitude to what the world witnessed as news of the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic “sunk” in. The Titanic, along with 2,224 passengers and crew (the exact number is actually disputed as some who had booked to travel failed to turn up and there were believed to be a WWW.OLDEPATHS.COMWWW Page 2 OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC number of stowaways), left Southampton with 75,000 pounds of flesh-meat, 40,000 eggs, 1,500 gallons of fresh milk and 40 tons of potatoes.

  • R. H. Macy & Co. Store, 14Th Street Annex
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 20, 2011, Designation List 450 LP-2474 R. H. MACY & CO. STORE, 14TH STREET ANNEX, 56 West 14th Street, Manhattan. Built 1897; [William] Schickel & [Isaac E.] Ditmars, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 577, Lot 12. On July 12, 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the R.H. Macy & Co. Store, 14th Street Annex and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Manhattan Community Board 2, Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, and Historic Districts Council. Summary Located near the intersection of 14th Street and Sixth Avenue in the midst of New York City’s then-primary retail shopping district, Ladies’ Mile, the R.H. Macy & Co. Store, 14th Street Annex was the last phase in the expansion of the complex – including older remodeled structures and several purpose-built annexes – occupied by the famous department store during its 44-year tenure at this location. Founded in 1858 by Rowland H. Macy as a fancy goods store, Macy’s became known for innovative retailing strategies and emerged as a full-service department store, one of the city’s largest. After R.H. Macy’s death in 1877, and the acquisition of controlling interest in the business in 1888 by brothers Nathan and Isidor Straus (who had operated a china and glassware department here since 1874) and sole proprietorship in 1896, the Strauses hired the firm of the prominent New York City architect William Schickel, well known within the German-American community, for a number of commissions.

Titanic are to be offered at Christie’s New York’s Ocean Liner sale on June 28. They provide a haunting reminder of the infamous 1912 maritime sinking, a disaster that still grips the public imagination almost a century later. Five lots lead the R.M.S. Titanic memorabilia section: • The deck log from cable ship S.S. MacKay-Bennett, the second rescue ship on the scene after the R.M.S. Carpathia, tells the story of the recovery of the dead and is the most significant lot from a rescue ship ever offered for sale (estimate: $30,000-50,000). The ship was the first of four ships chartered by the White Star Line to search for bodies after the sinking and had Canon Kenneth Cameron Hind of All Saints, Halifax and John R. Snow, Jr., the chief embalmer from Nova Scotia’s largest undertaking firm, onboard to oversee the arrangements. When the ship reached the wreck site, it quickly became apparent far more bodies were floating in the ocean than anyone had expected and more ships were chartered to help. After seven days of searching, 306 bodies were recovered – of these, 116 were buried at sea, with 190 remaining on board, almost twice as many as there were caskets available.

  • Wizard English Training Center Titanic
    WIZARD ENGLISH TRAINING CENTER TITANIC CHAPTER ONE Under the sea It was 1 September 1985. Under a ship in the North Atlantic, a camera moved through the dark water. Slowly, the camera went down - 1,000 metres, 2,000 metres, 3,000 metres under the sea. On the ship, some sailors waited and watched. Nobody spoke. Then, suddenly, they saw something. 'There it is!' 'Where?' 'There - look, I can see it!' 'Yes, you're right! It's the Titanic!' With the camera, the sailors could see a ship 3,810 meters under the water. It was a very big, old ship, and it was in two halves. They could see the front half of the ship with their camera, but the back half of the ship was 800 meters away. The sailors were all very happy. They took lots of photographs. The next year they came back with more cameras. The cameras went down under the sea and looked at the ship more carefully. They went all round the ship and took hundreds of photos. Some of the cameras went into the ship too, through the windows. Later there was a film about the ship. People all over the world watched the film and saw the photographs in newspapers. But who built the Titanic? What happened to it? Why did it break in two halves, and sink to the bottom of the sea? And what about the people on this ship? What were they like, and what happened to them? This is the story of the Titanic. CHAPTER TWO The biggest ship in the world 1 WIZARD ENGLISH TRAINING CENTER More than 15,000 people built the Titanic in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
