泰坦尼克号是怎样沉的

英国皇家邮轮泰坦尼克号(RMS Titanic)是奥林匹克级邮轮的第二艘邮轮，20世纪初，由英国白星航运公司（White Star Line）制造的一艘巨大豪华客轮。由位于爱尔兰贝尔法斯特（Belfast）的哈兰德与沃尔夫（Harland and Wolff）造船厂兴建。是当时世界上最大的豪华客轮，被称为是“永不沉没的客轮”或是“梦幻客轮”。泰坦尼克号共耗资7500万英镑，吨位46328吨，长8829英尺，宽925英尺，从龙骨到四个大烟囱的顶端有175英尺，高度相当于11层楼。是当时一流的超级豪华巨轮。与姐妹船 奥林匹克号（RMSOlympic）和 不列颠尼克号（HMHS Britannic）一道为英国白星航运公司的乘客们提供快速且舒适的跨大西洋旅行。泰坦尼克号是同级的三艘超级邮船中的第二艘。

1912年4月10日，泰坦尼克号从英国南安普敦（Southampton）出发，途经法国 瑟堡-奥克特维尔（Cherbourg-Octeville）以及爱尔兰 昆士敦（Queenstown），计划中的目的地为美国的纽约（New York），开始了这艘“梦幻客轮”的处女航。4月14日晚11点40分，泰坦尼克号在北大西洋撞上冰山，两小时四十分钟后，4月15日凌晨2点20分沉没，由于缺少足够的救生艇，1500人葬生海底，造成了当时在和平时期最严重的一次航海事故，也是迄今为止最为人所知的一次海难。**《泰坦尼克号》就是根据这一真实的故事拍摄的。

2006年5月，最后一名见证沉没事件的女性生还者逝世，终年99岁。目前尚有两名女生还者仍然存活，但她们在意外时还不到一岁，因此不会对事件有回忆。
