The Titanic

Authors Note: There's a lot of ways the sinking of the Titanic could have been prevented. Here's something that I think could have been done to avoid the sinking of the big ship:

People grab onto the railings holding on for dear life. Water suffocating most, while others take their last breaths before springing off of the flooding  ship, landing in the icy, cold ocean. Families scream at the top of their lungs for someone to come rescue them before the wave collides with their fragile bodies. Some go into shock, realizing that this could be it. The Titanic had just sunk, but it didn’t have too…
           There are lots of theories of how the sinking of the Titanic could have been prevented. One theory is if the people aboard the big ship would have been watching intently out the window for the icebergs, the sinking of the Titanic could have been prohibited. The captain could have been less laidback, and paid attention to the sea that they were heading into.
           
          Also, the sinking could have been prevented by having a different route that excludes icebergs. They could have used an ice detector to tell where the ice bergs would be so they could prevent getting close to them. If they had an ice detector, they could have successfully made it across the Atlantic ocean: from South Ampton, England to New York.

If the ship traveled in the morning when it was light out, at least one person would have seen the iceberg and warned the captain to slow down, or swerve around it. So therefore, they could have traveled in the Titanic during the morning so they could see everything surrounding them. But this helped people discover how to build bigger and better ships, to improve the Titanic to the best of their ability.

If everyone did all of these things, then the Titanic ship would still be here. Although, since they did crash the ship into the iceberg, it taught us to build bigger and better ships that can withstand mostly anything. I think that if the Titanic wouldn’t have sunk, then we wouldn’t know how to build bigger and better ships that can withstand a lot more than just an iceberg.  The Titanic didn’t have to, but indeed it sunk.
