THE RMS TITANIC

I chose to write about the RMS Titanic because I find the history of the ship exciting. The RMS Titanic was ordered on September,7,1908 by the company named white star line. The plans for the ship were laid down on March,31,1909 and launched on May,31,1911in Belfast, northern Ireland by Harland and Wolff. The ship was one of the largest in the world at 882 feet long and 175 tall. The ship was completed on April,2,1912 and she took her maiden voyage eight days later on April,10,1912. They chose captain Edward John Smith to navigate the ship on her maiden voyage. This would have been his last trip, he said he was going to retire after they docked in new York city. It was April,14,1912 and Jack Phillips the radio operator had already gotten seven iceberg warnings up ahead from a ship named the Californian. The crew didn’t worry because they were told the ship was unsinkable and that those few little pieces of ice would not do anything to that big ship, but a few hours later at 11:40 p.m. the ship hit the iceberg. The ship had a total of 2,435 passengers and 892 crew members, but there were only 20 lifeboats. The lifeboats could only carry 1,178 of the 3,327 people aboard the ship. A lot of the men died because of a women and children first policy. Two hours and forty minutes after hitting the iceberg the ship sank to the bottom of the north Atlantic ocean. The death rate was between 1,490 to 1,635 deaths. On August,22,1985 Robert

how resilience training in a “common workplace” could help companies survive economic hardship by keeping employees mentally fit. I feel that this article is, for lack of a better term, ridiculous. Harrington states, “According to the CIPD’s absence report in 2011, one employee in five admits to absence that has not been caused by “genuine” ill health (Harrington, 2012, p.1). I completely disagree. As someone who works full time at a very busy law firm Monday-Friday 8:30am – 5:00pm, going to Bethel…
