The tragedy of Titanic will always be remembered, because she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life. Titanic, the great ship, sailed for New York from’ Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1,316 passengers and a crew of 891.
    Four days after setting out, the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Suddenly a huge iceberg was spotted. After the alarm had been given the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below. The captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so weak that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. The captain realized in horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly. He ordered to abandon ship. Hundreds of people jumped into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1,500 lives were lost.
