Aboard the Titanic By Ivy Hello, my name is
Ruth Becker. I am boarding the RMS Titanic. I
am 12 years old. I have a one year old brother
named Richard, a four year old sister named
Marion, and my mom Nellie. When I got on the
Titanic I was a little scared, but I knew the
Titanic couldnt sink. One night the Titanic hit
an iceberg. I thought I was going to die, but I
didnt. I knew we were going down when five
watertight compartments were full. The captain
cried out, Women and children first! My
mother, brother, and sister were in lifeboat
number 12. I was left behind. Then my mother
cried out for me to get in lifeboat number 13.
On the Carpathia I found my mother.

Aboard the Titanic By Jacob I am a survivor of
the sinking of the Titanic. My voyage from
England to New York was cut short by a collision
with a gigantic iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean.
The ship had watertight compartments and was
thought to be unsinkable. I stayed in a first
class compartment. After the collision as the
ship sank underwater, the captain ordered the
lifeboats to be lowered. I ran up the Grand
Staircase to the top deck where I saw some
passengers getting into lifeboats. I got on one
quickly. It was very cold that night, and it
seemed like a rescue ship would never come.
Suddenly I saw lights flashing from far away.
Later the ship Carpathia was rescuing us. When
we got on board, we were served hot chocolate and
sausage biscuits. We were sure glad that the
Carpathia came for us.

Aboard the Titanic By Ariel Ashley and I
thought about taking a cruise on the Titanic. We
always dreamed about what it would be like. We
won a drawing for a vacation, and it was on the
Titanic. We packed up and headed for the
Titanic. Ashley and I arrived on the ship.
Being on this ship is so different. It is
breathtaking. I have never been on a cruise
before. As the days went on, Ashley and I met
some people. Their names were Chris and Bailey.
We started hanging around each other. Then all
of a sudden the Titanic hit against something.
It was a huge iceberg. It happened to be in the
Atlantic Ocean. It was in the middle of nowhere.
The ship started sinking, but thank goodness we
got on a lifeboat. We finally got rescued by
another ship.

Aboard the Titanic By Breanna My name is Ida
Hippach, and I am here to tell you about the
Titanic. I am sorry about the Titanic, because
it went down. My daughter and I were on the
ship. We got on a lifeboat, and I sat and
watched the Titanic go down. Little children
lost their lives. It was sad, and I did not like
it. The Titanic captain lost his life too. As
you can see, the Titanic was a terrible disaster.

about 24 miles out in the freezing ocean. The
ocean water was 28 degrees. On April 14, 1912
they heard a streak across the side of the ship.
Water flooded four lower parts and the ship broke
into two parts. Then they saw a ship. It was
the Carpathia. It came to rescue 705 people that
had been aboard the Titanic. Over a thousand
died. Mr. Jack Thayer survived the Titanic
disaster. But he was killed on Thursday,

Aboard the Titanic By Bailey Homer Simpson was
a survivor on the Titanic, but he was shot in
