Titanic

TEXT:

100 years after the Titanic tragedy, the world's most famous ship still fascinates us. This April, discover the legend in the new 3D version of James Cameron's film Titanic.

What was the Titanic?
The Titanic was the largest passenger ship in the world. It was built in 1912. It was like a flouting town with passengers from all social classes.

Inside the titanic
The Titanic was a luxury ship. Rich passengers paid a lot of money for a decorated suite with elegant styles, but the poor people didn't have that luxury.

The Titanic Destination
The Titanic's first voyage was from Southampton, in England, to New York City, USA. The ship left on 10 April 1912... but never arrived at it destination

The tragedy
On 14 April, four days after leaving Southampton, the Titanic was in the North Atlantic. The sea was calm but visibility was low. At 11.40 pm, a lookout saw a large iceberg near the ship. 37 seconds later, the Titanic hit the iceberg and water entered the ship. At first the passengers didn't panic... two hours and 40 minutes later, at 2.20am, the Titanic sank...



  • Who died?
Of the 2,224 people on board, only 710 survived.  
Most survivors were women, children and the rich: 60% of first-class passengers survived. But only 42% of second-class and 25% of third-class passengers survived


Titanic Film
The wreck of Titanic was found in 1985, about 4 km under the sea. James Cameron made his 1997 film, Titanic, using real images of the wreck. It was the highest grossing film of all time until Avatar (2009). But this isn’t the only film of Titanic tragedy; there are eleven in total. This big event has become very important; this is why there are a lot of films of it, in a lot of languages.



The last survivor
The last survivor of the Titanic died in 2009, aged 96. Her name was Millvina Dean and she was two months old when she was rescued from the ship.

Hi,

My name is Carlota Pérez and i live in South London. I like this are where I live, so I want to improve it.
In my opinión there isn’t anywhere for young people to go, and there aren’t any facilites for them. As a result, there are alot of young people spendig their time hanging around the street. There are sometimes problemes with vandalism and graffiti too.
I think the council should do something about this. I’m sure they must put some youth cafes for young people to go.
