The Titanic was a large British ocean liner that sank in April, 1912 during its maiden voyage to New York from Southampton, England when it hit an iceberg. About 1,500 people died.
b)
I think I would see a large shipwreck with lots of recognisable features.

I found it interesting that so much of the ship has survived under the sea after 100 years. I also found it interesting that they didn’t find the ship’s funnels.
The scene is total chaos. People are crying and screaming and running around. There are not enough boats and only a few passengers are being loaded into them. People are panicking because they realise we may end up in the water. I am terrified.
The ‘Titanic’ was part of the White Star Line. The ship hit the iceberg 4 days into its journey and it sank 2 hours and 40 minutes after it hit. There were 2,200 passengers and crew in total and only 20 lifeboats. Only 705 people survived. The water was 4 degrees below freezing and almost all the people who were in the water died within minutes. Only 13 people were pulled from the sea into the lifeboats. At 4 am, a ship called the ‘Carpathia’ came to help the survivors.
