In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious

ship float, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to 【1】______

anything else on the sea that it was dubbed "unsinkable." So sure of

this was the Owners that they provided life boats 【2】______

with only 950 of its possibly 3,500 passengers. 【3】______

Many passengers were board the night when it rammed an 【4】______

iceberg, only two days at sea and more than halfway between

England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner

was traveled so fast, it was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking【5】______

iceberg. An unextinguished fire also attributed to the ship's 【6】______

submersion. Panic increased the amount of casualties as people 【7】______

jumped into the icy water or fought to be among a few to board the 【8】______

lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the

Carpathia, rescued the survivors—less than a third of those who

were originally aboard.

The infamous Titanic has enjoyed only two days of sailing 【9】______

glory on maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of 【10】______

water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.
