In an effort to produce the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was
superior to anything else on the seas that it was dubbed “ unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they
provided lifeboats, for only 950 of its possible 3500 passengers.
Many passengers were aboad the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at ses and more than half way
between England and the New York destination. Because the luxury linner was travelling so fast, it was
impossible to avoid the ghostly – looking iceberg. An unextinguished fire also contributed to the ship’s
submersion. Panic increased among the number of casualities as people jumped into the icey water or fought to
be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours later the mishap, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the
survivors – less than a third of those originally aboard.
The infamous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging
into 12.000 feet of water near the coast of New Foundland, where it lies today.
1. Which of the following is not true ?

c. the Titanic sank near New Foundland d. the Titanic was the fastest ship afloat in 1972
