Background and Importance of the Project:
The Titanic passenger liner was launched from Queen’s Island in Belfast on May 31st , 1911. At the time she was the biggest existing ship and the largest movable object ever built. Owned by the White Star Line, one of a number of shipping companies who transported people across the Atlantic, she was designed not only to be the flagship of their fleet but also, due to the ultimate luxury and comfort of her fittings was to sweep away all the competition and earn the company dominance in what was a busy and profitable sea route. Captained by Edward J Smith, the Titanic, through her size and construction was believed to beunsinkable.
The lore of the sea has it that the captain should go down with is ship.
Survivors of the Titanic give different versions of what they think happened to the Captain. Certainly, one version of the Captain’s fate is that he was last seen on the bridge of the ship as it started its plunge beneath the waves. The second version has it that he did not go down with the ship but saved a small child, swam to one of the lifeboats, handed the child to the people on board the life boat and then swam off, never to be seen again. Another version says that the Captain shot himself. There is no similarity between any aspect of these versions.
Looking at the oral history one could start to draw conclusions about the passengers. These testimonies show how the events came to be related in the way that they did and the sort of society that existed at that time. There is the point of whether or not the captain went down with his ship, the piece of music played by the band as the Titanic was sinking and the fact that most testimonies came from first and second class passengers and crew.
