and even what some of the objectson the Titanic were created with.

All of these questions shall bedealt with in depth to ensureclarity of the scarcely known

topics about the Titanic.

Like most creations the Titanicfirst had to be designed in

blueprints or schematics.

Designing of the Titanic was instructed

by Bruce Ismay and Lord Pierie to bestarted on in June of 1907.Not too longafter, Thomas Andrews designed the

entire ship in less than a year.

One year later on the 29th of July, the design

for the Titanic was approved by Ismay andnumerous other White Star companydirectors. To start off construction the keelof the Titanic was laid on the 31st of March

in 1909.

The 19th of October in 1910 was the

completion date of plating for theTitanic and on the 31st of May in

1911 the Titanics hull is launched.

Near the end of construction on the 31st of

March in 1912, the fitting out for the Titanicis done. To make sure the Titanic operatescorrectly it was taken on a sea trial beforereturning to its port in Belfast.

Despite all the work already put into

the Titanics construction, it was stillnot complete for passengers. Next stepin preparation of passengers was to addfinishing touches and designate certainareas of the ship for rooms.

For starters, a fine coat of pearly-white and navyblue paint covered the tremendous ship. To add

the coat for the Titanic, the ship had to be at alarge dock while workers surrounded the aquaticmobile mass on platforms of different elevationsand slowly slather paint on the sides.

Once painting was done, the workers were able to

add the anchors to the sides. Each anchor weigheda heavy 15.5 tons. Accompanying these colossal-stoppers were 20 lifeboats. Although, 20 lifeboatswere later learned to be a insufficient amount for

all the people that were to ride the ship.

The power source of the Titanic was steam. Over 5

rooms were used to contain the massive 20 boilers.All of the boilers were treated with 162 coalburning furnaces and throughout a day thefurnaces gave off 100 tons of lung destroying ash.

With the expansive 850ft superstructure,many things could be placed upon the deck.The largest area on the deck was the openlounge which was for people to explore or

engage in social activities.

In the steerage was the 3rd class area. Near the

middle of the ship was the 2nd class area.Lastly, the 1st class area was on deck and wasmost expensive, but, then again the most

luxurious. Now all thats left in preparationis to furbish the ship with many things.

Each area throughout the Titanic was furbished with

the finest of furniture. From the old yet elegantVictorian style for some rooms and the latest intechnological advances for the time in otherrooms, all dcor was chosen to make the Titaniclook its best.

Although most of the ship was constructed from steel,there were many variations of metals used to createnumerous objects for the ship. As an example, thesmall 16.5ft and larger 23.5ft propellers were madeentirely from bronze.

In the control room of the Titanic there was a wireless

radio which happened to be the first of its kind andthe exterior for the ship was equipped with signallights as a safety precaution.

Other remarkable structures and styles were placed allaround in the Titanic. Bathes were in Turkish designs.

The dining room was filled with a wide assortment ofeating utensils. Even the grand staircase was amarvelous sight as it was made of a smooth oak withgolden chandeliers hanging above and the regular

stairs were a 17th century cherub William and Marystyle.

All chairs, couches, sofas, and seats were made fromwhite whicker; most rooms had crystal chandeliers;and the rails were made from wrought iron or glintbronze. Everything has a purpose, including the 4tremendous smokestacks that let the harmful smokeescape from the bowels of the ship.

Even though the Titanic had focuses on looking wellmade and furbished, it still had many safetyprecautions such as: watertight doors, triple screwenforcement, and multiple hull compartments.

The cost of furniture, styles, safety measures, andentertainment additions only summed up to be 25% ofthe Titanics total price. All together the Titanicsexpenditure was 7.5 million in cash and wouldve been

400 million if the Titanic was built in a more recenttime. A portion of the payment for the Titanic wasdone by American aid.

In conclusion, after all the hard work and time put into

the ship of large proportions, the Titanic, it all went towaste once it collided with its frozen mass match ofthe seas.

As the Titanic decays several thousand feet under themurky waters of the Atlantic ocean with creaturesalmost as fascinating as itself, we can look back andrealize the astounding accomplishment done by man-

kind decades ago.


32/33

Despite the failure, it still takes its place as a greatsuccess and tops many inventions of the 21st century.
