The 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic will be on April 12, 2012
THE WONDER SHIP
On April 10, 1912, hundreds of people crowded onto a dock in England. They came to see the Titanic set off on her maiden voyage. What made the ship so special?First of all, Titanic was the largest ship in the world. She was as long as four city blocks. Many people called her "the wonder ship." Others said Titanic was the best ship ever built. Some even believed she was too strong to sink!
That's not all. Titanic was also a floating palace. She was one of the first ships with a pool. She had fine wood and gold chandeliers.
As a result, some of the wealthiest people in the world were aboard the ship. They traveled on the upper decks. Poorer passengers and the crew lived on the decks below.
The first days of Titanic's voyage toward New York were like a party. Passengers celebrated in grand fashion. They thought they were making history. They were right.
