Italian immigrants sank.

In this life, people come and go, and there is always death. Sima Qian said: people are inherently mortal, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Life is a wandering journey. Meeting everyone is a beautiful accident, but no one knows which comes first, the future or the accident.

1997 The famous love movie Titanic directed by James Cameron in the United States is widely known, in which the romantic dialogue between the heroine Ruth and the hero Jack on the boat board has been passed down to this day.

Titanic was the most luxurious and largest cruise ship in the world at that time, and people from all walks of life had it. However, the classes are strictly hierarchical and do not interfere with each other, and the nobles also disdain contact with civilians.

As a noble woman, Jack as a civilian painter, Ruth is willing to give up the prejudice between classes and fall in love with Jack. But the name of the yacht Titanic shows that the love between Ruth and Jack is as gorgeous and short-lived as a epiphyllum.

The love between Ruth and Jack stayed in the sea forever. The sinking of the Titanic is by far the biggest shipwreck. This cruise ship, known as the unsinkable ship, had an accident on its first trip and sank to the bottom of the sea forever.

The origin of Titanic

Titanic, also known as Titanic, is an Olympic-class cruise ship produced by British White Star Shipping Company. Construction of Titanic began in Harland and Wolff's shipyards in 1909, but this luxurious and beautiful cruise ship with a displacement of 46,000 tons was officially completed in 19 12.

As the largest cruise ship with the most luxurious internal facilities in the world at that time, Titanic attracted attention from all walks of life from the beginning of its construction. At that time, Kanade Shipping Company, the competitor of White Star Shipping Company, built two super cruise ships with the fastest speed at that time, which brought great pressure to the operation of White Star Company. So White Star decided to build the Titanic.

Because White Star Company attaches great importance to Titanic, the management of the company invited top experts to participate in the design of Titanic. Different people are responsible for the overall design of the yacht, the stability and balance design of the ship, the decoration design and the overall planning. The company strives to make Titanic the most perfect cruise ship in the world, comparable to the cruise ship built by rival Canard Shipping Company.

The construction process of Titanic is different from other yachts. They announced the name of the ship very early. At that time, in order to build the Titanic, 15000 workers were used. During the construction, more than 200 people were injured.

Finally, after the first trial, Titanic started its first and only voyage on April 19 12 10.

The distinguished guests on the Titanic

Titanic has tourists from all walks of life. Titanic divided the passengers into three classes, of which the third class is the cheapest, and most of the people who booked this ticket were people who planned to immigrate.

Among them, the second-class cabin of Titanic is almost the same as the first-class cabin of other cruise ships. Most of these people booked the first class of other cruise ships, but because the coal of other cruise ships was handed over to Titanic, they had to sit on this luxurious ship. The first class of the most luxurious cruise ship in the world was booked by the richest man in the world at that time.

Among these rich people, there is John Jacob Astolli IV, the great-grandson of john jacob astor I, whose wealth made him one of the most famous victims of the Titanic in the first class. It is also one of the most famous victims of Titanic.

Astor IV 1864 was born in Rheinbeck, new york, and his family was the richest man in the United States at that time. When Astor IV died on the Titanic, the value of his legacy was far higher than that of his great-grandfather. According to the current market value, his legacy is as high as $6543.8+0.022 billion.

In the world's description of Astor IV, he was born in such an excellent family, received a good education since childhood and enjoyed the best educational resources in the world.

Not only did he graduate from Harvard, a world-renowned university, but his rich family business also gave him the capital to learn more knowledge. He is a real estate builder, inventor and writer. With his extraordinary business acumen, he invested and built the most luxurious hotel in the world at that time in 1987, which was deeply loved by the nobility.

Of course, excellent and rich, he is also very popular with women. 189 1 year, he married Eva and soon had both men and women. Surprisingly, the golden couple in the eyes of the world divorced on 1909.

Soon, three years later, he married Madeleine Firth at the age of 18. At this time, Madeleine Firth had just entered the upper class, only one year younger than Astor IV's eldest son. The age difference between the newlyweds is so great that the whole society is dumbfounded.

The newlyweds immediately started their honeymoon. They went to Egypt to avoid worldly gossip. On the way to honeymoon, Madeleine Firth got pregnant. To celebrate this exciting event, Astor IV took his wife, servant and a dog that was pregnant for five months and boarded the luxurious and drunken death ship Titanic.

Titanic's Death Journey

On April 19 12, 20 passengers disembarked after a short journey that night and escaped the shipwreck that caused an uproar in the whole society. For the next few days, Titanic lived quietly. Philip, the telegraph operator on the ship, broadcasts instructions about the stock trading of the nobility every day.

On April 14, a calm night, the Titanic, then known as "unsinkable", hit a flowing iceberg. At the moment of hitting the iceberg, due to the violent impact, cracks appeared in the bottom compartment of the hull, which instantly poured into the sea. The passengers in first class and second class haven't felt anything yet, and the passengers in second class thought it was the vibration caused by the surging waves.

Only the third-class passengers found out the truth. They found a milky iceberg floating next to them through the cabin window! The sea water poured in silently, and the temperature in the ship dropped instantly. Just 20 minutes later, the Titanic, which collided with an iceberg, instantly flooded more than 7,000 tons.

At this time, the front cabin of the Titanic was flooded, and then the passengers realized that something was wrong and walked out of the room. Just then, the Titanic immediately called for support, but it took at least four hours for the supported ships to get here.

However, the lifeboat on board can only be used by 1 178 people, and the total number of people on board is 2224. At this time, the crew unanimously decided to evacuate women, the elderly and the weak first, and give priority to women and children to make way for lifeboats.

Lifeboats are released, and the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled have priority to board. However, the accidental collision between the iceberg and the unsinkable Titanic caused great confusion to the passengers of the whole cruise ship. Under the threat of death, everyone exposed the ugly human nature.

Just then, Astor IV, together with the servants and nurses who took care of her, put his wife on the lifeboat and asked the crew if they could go up to accompany her, but the crew said that it was only after all the women and children had gone up that it was the man's turn. Astor IV didn't seem surprised. He calmly kissed his new wife and her unborn child, and then returned to the boat.

Some people say that the last time he saw Astor was smoking with American novelist Fortel. This noble, born in the richest family in the world since childhood, still maintains his calm, self-sustaining and elegant silence.

Two hours and forty minutes after hitting the iceberg, all the Titanic sank and went on board no one lives. Passengers on the lifeboat were saved, including Astor IV's wife and maid. The sinking of the Titanic shocked the whole West, and countless people observed a moment of silence.

Astor's body was found in the later salvage. He only had a gold pocket watch, which was later claimed by Astor's eldest son.

summary

In fact, Astor IV had already made a will for his wife and children, which stated that as long as Madeleine did not remarry, she could get 500,000 dollars a year. Unfortunately, Madeleine remarried at the age of 23, and the Astor family business was also lost by Astor V, and the Astor family was silent from then on.

When the Titanic sank, three musicians played for 2 hours and 05 minutes to calm the passengers' nerves. They are not afraid, but they have more important things to do.

The impact of icebergs, the continuous influx of seawater, the sinking of the Titanic, the panic of saving lives, melodious music and the quiet world in the corner, this is the Titanic.
