An incident confirmed this philosophy while Titanic was under construction: the White Star liner Republic was involved in a collision and sank. Even though she did not have enough lifeboats for all passengers, they were all saved because the ship was able to stay afloat long enough for them to be ferried to ships coming to assist. [87] Steve Smith, the chief executive of Care4Calais, said: “Two years on from the largest loss of life in the Channel in decades, no one has taken responsibility for the failure of UK authorities to respond to the desperate calls for help from those on board this tragic boat.

The remaining boats were filled much closer to capacity and in an increasing rush. No.11 was filled with five people more than its rated capacity. As it was lowered, it was nearly flooded by water being pumped out of the ship. No.13 narrowly avoided the same problem but those aboard were unable to release the ropes from which the boat had been lowered. It drifted astern, directly under No.15 as it was being lowered. The ropes were cut in time and both boats made it away safely. [135] Sinking of the Titanic by Henry Reuterdahl Here is an online reading of “Who Sank the Boat?” for your watching pleasure.

There was nothing too spectacular about the storyline or the illustrations, but it sure is a fun story that can keep young toddlers engaged till the end. This is a book that can be read to preschool/ older kids too, and provide a good opportunity for parents/ teachers to discuss about weight, balancing, measurement, physics, concept of floating and sinking etc.At 13:45, the German ship SS Amerika, which was a short distance to the south, reported she had "passed two large icebergs". [25] This message never reached Captain Smith or the other officers on Titanic 's bridge. The reason is unclear, but it may have been forgotten because the radio operators had to fix faulty equipment. [25] Engage with your students as you add materials to the boat, starting with the pennies. Ask them how many pennies to add to the boat, and make sure to record how many it takes to sink it. By this time, it was clear to those on Titanic that the ship was indeed sinking and there would not be enough lifeboat places for everyone. Some still clung to the hope that the worst would not happen: when Eloise Hughes Smith pleaded whether Lucian, her husband of two months, could go with her, Captain Smith ignored her, shouting again through his megaphone the message of women and children first. Lucian said, "Never mind, captain, about that; I will see that she gets in the boat", before telling Eloise, "I never expected to ask you to obey, but this is one time you must. It is only a matter of form to have women and children first. The ship is thoroughly equipped and everyone on her will be saved." [125] Charlotte Collyer's husband Harvey called to his wife as she was put in a lifeboat, "Go, Lottie! For God's sake, be brave and go! I'll get a seat in another boat!" Neither man survived.
