The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most famous
shipwreck stories of all time. The Titanic was said to be the safest
ocean liner in the world. When it set sail, all the cabins were full,
from the most expensive to the cheapest ones on the lower dock. Some
of 5) the richest people of the world set sail for America on one of the longest and most dangerous crossings attempted by such a liner. The
captain was one of the best, but he made a big mistake which caused
hundreds of deaths. As they sailed on, the going became more difficult. Suddenly the captain saw an iceberg ahead but, by then, it
was too late to do anything. They sailed closer until finally
they hit it. Everyone rushed to the lifeboats. Some survived but many
died. The survivors said it was the most frightening experience in
their lives and they felt like the luckiest people on earth to have
survived.
