Titanic

Today is the 103 anniversary of the biggest shipwreck in history. The first Titanic's journey started in Southampton and should end in New York City. It left the harbour at 12am, 10th of April 1912.  Although, many people believed that it was unsinkable, at 11.40 pm the most famous passenger ship crashed an iceberk and started sinking . The capitan ordered the orchestra to continue playing, because he wanted to clam down the people. 1500 people were killed. Only 730 passengers survived thanks to help from  another ship "Carpathia" - it was at 4am. The reason why so many people died was that there weren't enought life boats. The shipwreck was found on 1st of September 1985.
