Слайд 23A photograph of an iceberg on the horizon. The photograph was
taken
from another ship just 36 hours prior to Titanic's collision with iceberg.
Слайд 24A telegraph message from a ship called Olympic reports that it
has
received word from the Titanic that it has struck an iceberg.
Слайд 25An iceberg, presumed to be the one that was struck by
the RMS Titanic, is
pictured from the deck of the cable ship Mackay-Bennett on April 15, 1912.
Слайд 28Titanic hit the starboard side with the iceberg.
Слайд 29The under compartments of the bow started to flood.
Due to the flooding, the bow commenced to go
down causing the stern to rise.
Слайд 31Initially the sinking was somewhat slower…….
Слайд 32Yet the later part of the sinking was sort of faster
and the golden funnels started to loosen one by one
Слайд 33Titanic continued to lose her funnels while the stern
was
rising nearly 60 degrees from the ocean level.
Слайд 34She was out of electrical power and the stress concentration
had
reached the maximum at the 2nd expansion joint of the ship
which lied in between the 3rd and 4th funnels…….
Слайд 35….causing the Titanic to split in two from the 2nd expansion
joint…
Слайд 36 …right down to the keel of the vessel
and the Stern fell back.
Слайд 37The Bow submerged completely by pulling down the
Stern vertically and
then finally detached.
Слайд 38 The Stern floated a couple of minutes perpendicular to the
ocean level.
Слайд 39Then the stern flooded and floundered
completely leaving no trace of
the Titanic.
Слайд 40The Bow traveled nearly 3km down the Atlantic ocean
Слайд 41And finally landed at 2.20 AM on 15th April 1912
Слайд 42 Survivors of the Titanic approach the RMS Carpathia on April

given blankets and medical attention.
Слайд 44Survivors of the Titanic rest on the deck of the Carpathia
on April 15, 1912.
Слайд 45Survivors of the Titanic are interviewed by reporters as they come
off the RMS Carpathia in New York on April 18, 1912.
Слайд 46 Crew members who

Слайд 48Some of the items found in the wreckage of the Titanic
that was auctioned April 12, 2012: a hat, glasses and a bracelet recovered from the ocean floor.
Слайд 50 This currency is part of
the artifacts collection that was auctioned.
Слайд 53A Gladstone-style handbag, named after Queen Victoria’s Prime Minister William Gladstone,
who was said to frequently carry this type of leather bag. The bag's turn-of-the-century tanning process repels the microorganisms that eat organic matter on the ocean floor.
Слайд 54 A portion of the ship's
hull, known as 'The Big Piece'.
Слайд 56Dishes retrieved from the ocean floor stand in sand in a
glass case as part of the "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit" in Houston in 2002. Photos from the wreck show that dishes were found as shown after the crates they were packed in disintegrated. At right is the bell from the crow's nest, on display in 2003 at the Science Museum in London.
Слайд 58The Titanic's bow rests two-and-a-half miles under the North Atlantic.
Слайд 59The propeller of the Titanic rests on the ocean floor.
