A Look Back…
by Lucy Stiefel
Did you know that the Titanic has been underwater for 100 years? On
April 10, 1912, the Titanic was on its way from Eng-land to New York
City when it hit an iceberg and sank. The Titanic was said to be an
“unsinkable” ship. Obviously that wasn’t true!
The Titanic was as long as four city blocks and was complete with a
swimming pool and gymnasium. It even had a mechanical camel and horse.
It was 4 days into her voyage at about midnight when the ship scraped
an iceberg. It began to fill with water. There were about 2,200 people
on board, but only enough lifeboats for 700 people. Because of a lack
of boats and lifeboat drills, many people died needlessly. Only 678
people survived.
