§ Lesson10 The loss of the Titanic “泰坦尼克“号的沉没
Whatwould have happened if only two of the sixteen water-tight compartments hadbeen flooded?
Thegreat ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912.She was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 89l. Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanicwas a colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not only the largest shipthat had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteenwatertight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, she would still beable to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always beremembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.
Four days aftersetting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the NorthAtlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a look-out. After the alarmhad been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. TheTitanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice whichrose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slighttrembling 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 watertight compartments had already been flooded! Theorder to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icywater. As there were not enough life-boats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.
