  • 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.

  • “From My Balcony”
    1 “FROM MY BALCONY” By Helga Szmuk Translation of the original in Portuguese by Marcia Lizia Barry (USA) Oct, 2006 2 Introduction Many of my friends and my sons, have been for a long time, telling me to write my memories. I finally decided to take their advice. Why not? After all, they are very dear to me. I took my time though, trying to gather so many deeds of my crazy life of tribulation, which was not very easy considering I am in my 80's. As soon as I had finished the first couple of chapters, I asked them to correct my Portuguese errors. However, not one of them volunteered. Nevertheless, I understand. I know how tedious the work can be. My English students, or even my astronomer friends, often ask me to correct their English texts. It is pure suffering. I would rather write the articles all over again (which is handiwork) than correct what is completely wrong. The same applies to my Portuguese; someone else would have to re-write my texts I am sure. My great new friend, Bob Sharp, never told me I should write my memories. Then I sent him a few pages to read and see what he thought of it. Being a Journalist, writing and analyzing texts is what he does every day. He made the corrections in record time and offered to work on the entire book. We met in strange circunstances and at the same time humorous. I wrote to the Newspaper, more specifically to the Department in charge of taking readers' complaints, about the terrible habit of smoking in public places, like Shopping Malls.

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.

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.
