5 The Titanic The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April l0th, She was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the 46,000-ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen water- tight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life. Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice, which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen water- tight compartments had already been flooded! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost. A. Read the passage again and then answer the questions that following: 1. Where was the Titanic sailing? 2. What was seen by a lookout? 3. When did the ship turn sharply? 4. Did it sail alongside the iceberg, or did it collide with it?

6 5. What was heard from below? 6. What did the captain do? 7. What did he find? 8. When did everyone jump overboard? 9. Why were 1500 people drowned? B. Vocabulary Give another word or phrase to replace the following words as they are used in the passage: colossal: flooded: regarded: float: compartments: avoid: lifeboat: iceberg: passengers: depart: luxury:

She was also going very fast, which was dangerous because there were icebergs around. The passengers were all having a good time when the ship suddenly struck one of these icebergs.
