Titanic

What was the titanic?
The Titanic was  the largest passanger ship in the world when it was built in 1912 in Bealfast, Nothern Ireland. It was like a floating town with passangers from all social classes.
The tragedy:
On  14 April,   the Titanic was in the North Atlantic. The sea was calm but visibility was low. At 11.40 pm, a lookowt saw a large iceberg near the ship. 37 seconds later, the Titanic hit the iceberg and the water entered the ship. At first the passangers didn't panic... two hours and 40 minutes later, at 2.20 am, the Titanic sank.
Who died?
Of the 2224 people on board, only 710 survived: there were not enough lifeboats. Most survivors were women, children and the rich: 60% of first-class passangers survived. But only 42% of second-class and less than 25% of third-class passangers survived.
