It was the first voyage of this huge luxury36 liner said to be the largest and safest vessel on the seas. The pull of its powerful 37 propellers almost caused an accident before it ever left the harbor. Another ship was pulled from its anchoring and came dangerously 38 close to hitting the Titanic. You might say this was an 39indication of events to come.Two of the ship’s builders were on board to make sure that no problems were found. They 40 assured everyone that this beautiful ship was practically unthinkable 41 , for it had been constructed to 42 what they believed would be the worst possible disaster the ship would face. Even if four of its watertight compartments were 43 compromised , it would stay afloat as usual. 4The builders were so sure of the quality4 that they were not prepared for the ship encountered .On Sunday, April 14, 1912, the Titanic was sailing peacefully through the northern Atlantic Ocean. At two different times during the day, radio messages were sent to 45 the Tanic .For some unknown reason, neither of these messages reached the captain. At 11:40 p.m., two lookouts spotted a large iceberg straight ahead. The first officer was in charge. He ordered the ship to turn left and the engines to be reversed.

The builders were so sure of its quality that they were not prepared for the disaster the ship would encounter.On Sunday, April 14, 1912, the Titanic was sailing peacefully through the northern Atlantic Ocean. At two different times during the day, radio messages were sent to the Titanic warning of large icebergs floating directly in the path of the large ship. For some unknown reason, neither of these messages reached the captain. At 11:40 p.m., two lookouts spotted a large iceberg straight ahead. The first officer was in charge. He ordered the ship to turn left and the engines to be reversed. Engineers now believe that if the ship had been allowed to hit the iceberg head on, some damage would have been done, but nothing fatal. As it was, the ship hit the iceberg on its side and it sank eventually.。
