eighty-three / 83 How the Titanic Sank From Titanic by Tim Vicary The Titanic was the safest ship in the world. No one believed it could sink. But the Titanic hit an iceberg on its first journey and sank. The front of the ship went down, and at the same time the back of the ship went up. For two minutes the back of the ship went slowly up, higher and higher. Some people ran to the back of the ship. A lot of people fell from the ship into the sea. Carla Jensen watched from Lifeboat 16. “The sea was very quiet and dark,” she said later. “The lights were still on in the ship. Then, suddenly, there was a terrible noise. A thousand people cried from the ship – we heard them. Then the Titanic broke into two halves.” Slowly at first, then faster and faster, the Titanic went under the water. First the front of the ship went under, then the back. At 02:20 in the night the Titanic was not there. The people in the boats could see the stars in the night sky, and the black sea, but no Titanic. The biggest ship in the world was under the sea. Did you know? There’s no doubt that Titanic is one of cinema’s greatest films. A true classic about the sinking of the ship of dreams but also about the romantic meeting between Rose, an upper-class girl who is on her way to America to marry her fiancé and Jack, an American third-class passenger who has won the trip on the Titanic during a card game. Lots of drama and romance and great visual effects. A must-see! In 1998, the film Titanic won 11 Academy Awards. It never got any Bafta awards. doubt vafi fiancé unnusta won vann Verkefni 15 -19
