“I will never let go, Jack.
I’ll never let go.”
“I will never let go, Jack. I’ll never let go.”
“Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on”
Does this song sound familiar to you? Yes, you are right! It’s from Titanic. Every time we hear “Titanic” we immediately think about the cliché love story of Jack and Rose. For others, it’s one of the longest romantic movie they have ever watched. Before the movie was created, the RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean at 2:20 a.m. on 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The massive ship, which carried about 2,200 passengers and crew, had struck an iceberg two and half hours before.
The Titanic was designed by the Irish shipbuilder William Pirrie, and was supposed to be the world’s fastest ship. It spanned 883 feet from the stern to the bow, and its hull was divided into 16 compartments. Because four of these compartments could be flooded without causing a critical loss of buoyancy, the Titanic was considered to be “unsinkable”. After stopping at Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown to pick up some final passengers, the massive vessel set out at full speed to New York City.
