    From the beginning to end, the ships had to go through many changes in order to accommodate all of the cargo. The first ships used suffered greatly in the African water because they were wooden. As time passed the ships were modified for the journeys. For example, copper was added to help fight against shipworms. Rediker mentions in the book the details of how the ship is built and he even includes the measurements of the wood used and the supplies needed. Shortly after explaining this, he mentions the beatings some of the crew had to take if they were to mess up any part of the ship.

    An article about Ismay and the Titanic says, "The Titanic designer Thomas Andrews was pushing for 48 lifeboats enough to carry everyone on board. But Ismay said no to the 48 lifeboats and only put 20 on board."

    These are examples within the essay that do not get much explanation and leaves some readers confused for a bit. When he speaks of the safety factor of the boat and explains how if the space goes unused from others than they can use it as storage space or other things, what are those other items going to be? Are there other resources in the boat? If so, would that not take up room for those other ten people to get in? We know what the carrying capacity is as far as people for the lifeboat, but is there a weight factor to it also? Everyone on that boat is not the same age. Some would die soon because of several different reasons (age, food, resources, etc.). As far as other parties boarding the boat it should be the ones left in the water, “…we shall have to be constantly on guard against other boarding parties” (291). If the other boarding parties are from other boats, they should not have a reason to join other boats unless they are after more resources because they ran through theirs so

    The maiden voyage began on April 10, 1912. The ocean liner was called the “unsinkable” ship. The trip was to start in Southampton, England and finish in New York. There isn’t an exact number of total passengers, but according to some sources 2,453 passengers walked on board, for what they thought was going to be one of the best experiences of their lives.
