THE TITANIC: AN INTERVIEW
Interviewer: I understand you were quite young in 1912 when the disaster hap-
pened. Do you remember the details of your trip?
Survivor: Oh yes, very vividly. Interviewer: What sort of ship was The Titanic? Survivor: It was built by the British and they called it “Titanic” because she
1
was the biggest ship the world had ever seen2. She was as tall as an eleven-story building and almost four city blocks long!
Interviewer:Yes, she was 268 meters long, 55 meters high and had 9 decks. Her cost was 400 million modern American dollars. Do you remember how much your ticket cost?
Survivor: Well, I’m not sure, but the tickets were very, very expensive. Interviewer: Even the cheapest tickets for the third-class passengers cost about 500
dollars. These people were going off to find a new home in America. The trip to America offered them a chance of a new life. So, your fam­ ily was on the way to the USA. Why? Survivor: My parents were traveling for fun. Everybody said The Titanic was the biggest and the fastest ship in the world. She was also the safest ship!
42 Section 2:Marine Voyages
Interviewer: When did the disaster happen? Survivor: On the third day of the trip. It was the 14th of April, 1912. Interviewer: Tell us what you remember about that day. Survivor: The weather was good on that day. But it was cold and people stayed
inside. The sea was quite smooth. The Titanic was almost in the middle of the Atlantic and she was going very fast. It was a dangerous thing to do.
Interviewer: Why? Survivor: Because of icebergs. There were lots of them in that particular part of
the Atlantic at that time of the year. It was very dark that night. Sud ­ denly a huge iceberg appeared, almost directly in front of the ship. She was trying to turn when she struck the iceberg.
Interviewer: There was another ship that was passing nearly, wasn’t there? Survivor: Yes. The Californian. Interviewer: Why didn’t The Californian try to take some passengers off? Survivor: Ah, that’s the big mystery. They must have seen3 the eight white rock­ ets that were fired from The Titanic. Interviewer: And SOS4 signals? Survivor: Yes, exactly. It seems they thought they were having a party on board
The Titanic and were just firing the rockets in fun.
Interviewer:They say the Captain was sleeping in his cabin at the time, and so
The Californian just went on … What were you doing?
Survivor: We were sleeping. And then they told us to come out of our rooms.
Many people were wearing nightgowns and pajamas. Some people were laughing and joking. The band was playing some cheerful music. People still thought they were on a ship that couldn’t sink. Interviewer: But what about the lifeboats? Why didn’t the passengers use the life boats on The Titanic? Survivor: Some did, but there weren’t enough lifeboats. There were 2,227 people on board and there were only enough lifeboats for 1,100 of them. We were lucky to get in one of the first lifeboats. Interviewer: And so you and your parents escaped, but 1,500 people were drowned. Survivor: Yes ... with a dance-band playing, by the way. It was playing music until the last few seconds. They were trying to keep the passengers calm.

THE TITANIC FOUND
Years passed. People roughly1 knew
where The Titanic was lying down. But it was hard to reach very deep in cold water. Yet treasure hunters kept on dreaming of2 the mystery ship. They expected to find gold, diamonds and pearls on board.
In the summer of 1985 the scientists sent a special underwater robot hunting for the ship3. At first they saw only sand on the
ocean floor4. Then, on September 1, something different flashed on the screen. It was a ship! She was lying upright in two pieces5 on the ocean floor at a depth of about 4 000 m. The scientists explored the ship several times with the help of manned and unmanned equipment6. The ship’s giant anchors were in the sand nearby. Bottles of wine were everywhere around, and suitcases. One of the scien­tists, who did so much to find The Titanic, Robert Ballard didn’t want the treasure hunters to find the ship7. So some time later he returned to the place of the catas­trophe on a small submarine. He approached The Titanic and sent the robot inside. The robot left a message behind. It asked that the great ship be left in peace8. The whole world followed Robert’s work. They cheered him because to some people it was very special9. They were children when the accident happened but they and the whole world would never forget the “unsinkable Titanic”10.
