All these men could do was wait for the ship to sink, with only their lifejackets to save them. (p35)
The majority of people gathered to witness the launch of the Titanic on October 20th, 1910. However, this "unsinkable" ship shock the world by killing 1455 passengers. Most of them had third-class tickets. The Titanic is known as the "miracle in the history of world industry". The accommodation was made for three classes of passengers: luxurious rooms for first class, cozy rooms for second class and basic cabins for third class. The lifeboats of the Titanic played a crucial role. However, the Titanic carried just 20 lifeboats to provide capacity for 1060 people. Since only women and children were allowed at first, their lovely husband and father could do was wait to be rescued. Why didn't Titanic carry enough lifeboats for everyone on board?
