"The Night to Remember" is a book that tells the story of the Titanic sinking. It was written by Walter Lord and gives a lot of details about what happened. The book shows what the people on the Titanic were going through and is very interesting to read.
"Titanic: Survivors" is a movie that also talks about the Titanic sinking. It focuses on the people who survived the disaster and how they felt. The movie is like watching a real story and it makes you feel sad and happy at the same time.
Both the book and the movie tell different parts of the Titanic story. The book tells the whole story from the beginning to the end, while the movie shows what it was like for the survivors. They are both good to read and watch if you want to learn more about the Titanic.
One of the surviving passengers of Titanic, Ruth Becker Blanchard, recounted that her family had been in their cabin when the ship struck the iceberg, and they didn't realize the seriousness of the situation until later when they saw the lifeboats being loaded.
In my opinion, the disastrous sinking of the Titanic could have been averted with greater precautionary measures taken by the ship's builders, and honesty about the vessel's condition. There are several theories, including the possibility that the Titanic was switched for a cheaper alternative, each offering a different perspective on the disaster and how it could have been prevented. Nevertheless, the loss of hundreds of lives and the traumatic experience for thousands was a significant tragedy.
