This is presenting my speech in front of the year 5 and 6s, It was really scary doing it but it was worth it, in the end, was very pleased and I got into the finals and got 2nd for the 4 that got into the finals and I was very pleased and I enjoyed writing it.
My speech was on how the Titanic sank this is my written copy for you to read.
Good morning/ Afternoon, I am Maddison,
most of us know what the Titanic is, right? Well if you don't know,
it was a huge Ship that sadly sunk on its first journey because of an iceberg,
well that’s what we all thought. scientists have released new information about what really happened.
I don't think the Titanic sunk because of an iceberg if the Titanic had everything it said it had like if it was 882.9ft long then it couldn't have sunk because of 1 iceberg.
The R.M.S. Titanic went on its first journey on the 10th of April and it was sadly its last and when the ship sank it not only destroyed thousands and thousands of dollars in property and contents but sent thousands to their cold watery grave. On April 15th, 1912 it sank, the R.M.S. Titanic weighed 46,328 ton it seemed unstoppable, indestructible, it was a perfect ship, if the Titanic had what it said it had, how could one Iceberg make that much damage? Well, that one iceberg isn't the cause it was fire.
This is a photo of the Titanic just before it went to sea on its first and last voyage,
if you look closely you can see on the side of the ship that there is a
long cylinder shape that is deep, powerful, and black, commonly known as a
burn mark, meaning that the fire weakened the metal causing it to sink when the iceberg hit.
It’s very unlikely that the iceberg hit exactly where the metal
rusted that's one of the incredible links in the story of the Titanic.
The fire must have been burning for 3 weeks at very high temperature
before someone noticed it, Experts are sure that such conditions could have
easily damaged the metal reducing the strength by 5 percent, that's why the iceberg had no problem tearing a hole through the ship, if not for the fire it would have been impossible.
The Caption of the Titanic should be responsible for all deaths on the Ship
that night, why? Because he ( Edward. J Smith ) got the warning about multiple
icebergs in the water but he chose to ignore the warnings putting 3,547 lives at state.
The Titanic was carrying 20,000
bottles of beer and 8,000 cigars yet there were no binoculars, why is this fact
important? because with them they could have saved the Titanic an seen the iceberg coming.
I hope you now know what really happened to the Titanic and whose fault it
was that thousands of people died. the story of what really happened to the
Titanic still remains a mystery, thank you for listening to my speech and I hope
that you now see the Titanic differently, thank you again.
