Bonjour je ne sais pas si c'est au passé mais voila au pire tu mets les verbes au passé.... The Titanic steamer was built in Belfast in the building sites Harland and Wolff in parallel with Olympic (one of its twins launched on October 20, 1910 is 1 year and half before Titanic) and under the orders of Thomas Andrews.
April 10, 1912, towards 12h, Titanic leaves the wearing of Southampton for New York with on its board, approximately 1300 passengers and 885 men of crew. After two stopovers in Cherbourg and Queenstown, Atlantique from April veiled it on the open ocean 12.
In spite of the number growing of warnings indicating of the icebergs, especially in the day of April 14, the captain Edward John Smith decides to carry on his road on an accelerated rate/rhythm, and thus exposed to the danger of the ice...
It is on April 14, 1912 with 23h40 that the watchtower announces an iceberg. Immediately, one orders to transfer with starboard all and to reverse the vapors but the reaction time of Titanic is too much long: 30 seconds to start to turn, it transfers too slowly and runs up against on the right part of the hull the iceberg which tears it by small holes in each compartments.
Not to frighten the passengers who saw the iceberg or those which felt the jolt, the men of crew will invent false excuses to avoid panic and to justify the brutal stopping of the machines.
The first lifeboats are lowered starting from 00h45 is one hour after the collision and the last are put at the sea until 2h05, fifteen minutes before the end of Titanic.
