Journal Titanic
The titanic was a British passenger liner and the largest ship aflote at that time in entered service. Even though it was concidered "unsinkable" the titanic struck an iceberg four days after its maiden voyage at 23:40, 14 April 1912. It sunk an hour an a half later resulted in the death of more than 1500 people.
Titanic recived six warnings of icebergs but was traveling near her maximum speed when her crew sighted the iceberg, the ship suffered a glancing blow that buckled her starboard side and open five of the sixteen compartments to the sea causing the ship to sink. Most of the people died of hypothermia within minutes. Carpathia arrived on the scene an hour and a half after the sinking and rescued the survivors that were about 700 people from the cold water.
In July 1986, the titanic was found, after 74 years of her sink, in an expedition led by Dr. R.D. Ballard. In 1995 director James Cameron shot footage of the sunken ship, which he used to replicante the ship for his movie "Titanic".
Personally, if I'd the misfortune of being involved in an incident as tragic as the titanic and I had the chance of saving something that y can carry with me I would probably save a necklace my mother gave me as a gift for my communion when I was ten years old. The reason I'd save it is due to the importance and the sentimental value it has to me because the necklace used to belonged to my mother.
My grandfather, who passed away almost twenty five years ago, gave it to my mother when she was twelve. I didn't have the chance to know him so the necklace is the only thing that is a way makes me feel like he is with me. And that is the reason why I'd save the necklace.
