A deep look into what was the Titanic. This in depth look will step inside the story of the ocean liner the RMS Titanic. Students will make discoveries and study not only the story behind this great ship but also take a closer look at the people and their stories. While the tragedy focuses on how and why the ship sank in the middle of the North Atlantic, it truly impacted the people who survived but also those who perished. The cold icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean claimed just over 1500 lives in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912 after the ship struck an iceberg at 20 minutes to midnight on April 14. The events that followed and the people impact is a story that is both tragic and fascinating at the same time. It is a story which still fascinates the world today with one remaining question... Who or what was responsible for the sinking of the RMS Titanic?
