the titanic sunk April 15 1912. it hit an iceberg. one of the main topics is how it sunk and the flaws of the boat and its crew. one of the crew flaws is that the captain was going to fast in a high tide. so it was hard to spot the iceberg.

the author teaches about many shipwrecks and how they sunk, when they sunk and how they sunk. One of the ships was creep boom, it was used to carry iron from Spain to England in world war 1. another is that the world discover it sunk after 26 years. it hit a coral reef. this is not really a theme but most of the shipwrecks sunk from hitting something else.

in this book the author teaches about how the titanic was before it sunk and about during the sinking. It sank after 3 days of travel during these days of travel there were lots of partys, a swimming pool etc. the boat had 16 compartments in the bottom if 4 of them flooded it would float, any more than that and it would sink.

I think that this is a great book because you do not need a lot of background knowledge to read this. another reason that this is a great book to read is that you get a great sense of what the boat was like before it sank.

the author talks a lot about how it was built. but the thing that stood out to me was that it was used to carry iron ore just like the Edmund Fitzgerald. this boat was 301 feet long. it was founded 1892. this makes me think a lot about how it carried iron ore just like the creep boom.

this is a great source because it is very easy to read but is very high in information, I also checked other sources to make sure the dates were correct. Because I know that on Wikipedia anybody can edit it, so I made sure to check other sources to check the info, it was all correct.
