Being that the film is set in 1912, the engine is run on coal which is tossed into a hot boiling room. One health issue that arises from this include increased exposure to Particulate Matter via coal dust which can lead to black lung disease, respiratory problems, and cancer. Another health issue that occurred was potential for heat exhaustion, these workers are exposed to high temperatures that can lead to heat rashes, heat stroke, and other health-related issues. Furthermore, the engine room is known to have a lot of loud noise, which can create for noise-induced hearing loss if protections are not worn. Lastly, being that the engine room is in a confined space the potential to escape in an emergency such as a ship sinking can be hard, and often they get trapped in the bottom of the ship. These engine workers exposure to various health hazards and eventual health issues depict how important worker safety standards

The Titanic claimed to be the ship of its time; one that would never sink. However, what the Titanic claimed to be was not the case because on April 15, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg, broke in half, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. There has been debate ever since that fateful day as to how this happened to the Titanic. Some conspiracy theorist believe the ship never even sank -- regardless of the ships remains at the bottom of the ocean. Other conspiracy theorists believe the Titanic was actually switched with the RMS Olympic because of an insurance scam. Ever since that day, many scientists, engineers, and physicists have tried to analyze the problems of the Titanic; the reasons why it sank.
When you hear Titanic, what comes to mind? For many it is the love story of Jack and Rose. For others, it is the tragedy, that actually occurred, where thousands of men, women, and children lost their lives. The submergence of the ship, the story of an actual passenger on board, and why that passenger did or did not survive is all something that will become knowledge of the reader today. The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most remembered events in history, and there are few people still alive to tell their story.
Often when we think about the Titanic the first thought that comes to the mind is the film “Titanic” which was produced in 1997, 85 years after the disaster struck. It starred Kate Winslett (Rose DeWitt Bukater), Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson) And Billy Zane (Cal Hokley) as the main characters. The film is about a love triangle between the three main characters. This movie was produced by James Cameron who put enormous amount of research about the shipwreck of the titanic in order to depict the turn of events in his film. Amongst the purposes of his research he wanted to accurately depict the ship wreck itself from the very instant the ship hit the iceberg to the very last part of the ship that was subdued into the water. Another very significant part of Cameron’s research was to understand the socio-economic status of the passengers which will be discussed in detail later. Although historians have criticized certain aspects Cameron’s film the accuracy in which he depicts certain aspects such as the socio-economics of the passengers can’t be ignored.
Imagine you’re peacefully sailing along on a giant cruise liner in the middle of the ocean. But suddenly, you feel a shaking and the boat starts to tip. But how could this be? This boat is supposed to be unsinkable. People run to the far side of the boat, trying to avoid impending doom. Panic sets in aboard the Titanic. There are many theories of the cause of this loss of life, but I believe that the primary cause of catastrophic loss of life on the Titanic was the poor communication between crew members because a critical iceberg warning was never delivered to the captain, the Titanic was traveling at full speed in an ice field, and the captain of the ship was very relaxed about the iceberg, making it not seem like a threat.
They were told “This is the Titanic, the unsinkable ship,” but what were they saying as the ship broke in two and began to sink. Did they all still believe that nothing could sink the magnificent Titanic? Or was the reality of the ship finally “sinking” in? These are questions today that people are still asking. The sinking of the Titanic was a tragic accident that still affects culture today.
Drowning, screaming, Weeping, Send offs...These are some of the last words you heard from Jack Jill, Tyrone T. lll, Bob Blob and from others. The date was April 14-15 1912. The zone around North Atlantic Ocean. This was traumatic time/date. The Titanic had sunk and lots of people died 1,503 to be exact. But these people were rude, raw and blunt. And also the rude rich ones ended up dying. But not all of them died. It is kind of funny because the rude rich people were the ones that died. AKA people like Jack Jill and Bob Blob. The Titanic was on her maiden voyage, a return trip from Britain to America. The route was Southampton, England – Cherbourg, France – Queenstown, Ireland – New York, USA. The return route was going to be New York – Plymouth,
The Titanic set voyage on April 1912 to New York. The Titanic and its sister ships, Olympia and Britannic were said to be virtually unsinkable by a magazine article, not the White Star Line. The Titanic was the second ship to set sail on its maiden voyage out of the three sister ships. The Titanic had been built a lot differently than most of the ships back then. For example, a normal ship was built with three funnels but the Titanic had four. The fourth funnel did not serve the same purpose like the other three; its use was for steam to be released from the kitchen. Another example was that the Titanic was the biggest ship at the time. The ship had received ice warnings at least six different times from ships but Captain Smith had ignored

The Unsinkable Titanic I think the items from the Titanic should be left to rot in the ocean. The three reasons why are that they are a remembrance of those who died on the Titanic, they will just get lost or eaten down there, and they are an important part of history. First of all, they are a remembrance of those who died on the Titanic, which means that they should be brought up for us to remember forever. Some of the people on the Titanic died very bravely, and some of those items could have been theirs.
The tragedy of the Titanic sinking on April 15th 1912 has been retold by multiple movies, but none of the other movies combine actual events and a love story the way James Cameron did. The Titanic (1997) directed and produced by James Cameron made close to 2 billion dollars in box office and received eleven Oscars, which was a surprise to Paramount (Braund,1). The Fox-Paramount partnership soured when the predicted final cost of the movie was over $200 million dollars, and Paramount only agreed to pay $65 million, which Fox had to pay for the rest (Braund,8). Paramount did not believe Titanic (1997) would be financially successful. The reasons Titanic (1997) received high financial achievements was because of the love story between Jack and
Within the context of film industry, the film Titanic by James Cameron belongs to epic romance/ disaster genre. The film, released in 1997, was a global box office hit because the director provided equal importance to history, fiction and romance. To be specific, one can see that the film’s plot is based upon the history of RMS Titanic. On the other side, the main characters including the protagonist and the heroine (Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater/Dawson) are fictional characters. Besides, the element of romance between the main characters (Jack and Rose) is the film’s main attraction. Thesis statement: The critical analysis of the film Titanic proves that the innovative mode of storytelling (flash back and other techniques), Acting, Cinematography, Editing, Sound, Style and Directing (equal importance to fictional and historical characters), Societal Impact, and Genre (epic romance/disaster) are the most important factors behind the film’s success as a historical/fictional masterpiece (special references specific shots, scenes, characters, stylistic devices and/or themes).
