The end arrives

RMS Titanic

The Titanic, one of the biggest ships of the last century.
Despite being one of the most formidable ships of the time, could not survive, like many of its passengers because, for one thing, even today, unknown.
One of the theories themselves, say the ship struck an iceberg, and that pierced the hull irreparably.
Nothing could save this monstrosity of nature, sometimes both good and comprehensive; and others so cruel.
It did not help too much to spend for a trip across the Atlantic, first and last. It was launched on 31 May 1911.
His departure was on April 13, 1912, heading to New York.
We can not even imagine what must have happened and get to hear all those poor people who died, and those few who came to save.

Inside the ship

This, can be a section of a French warship, because the officers wore uniforms of blue and white.

Most ships, some more than others, were very decorated. We can see the sailor who are upstairs is cleaning the deck.

The old and the wood warships were a danger if set fire. All the sailors were feared because if passed it could almost leave the ship.

Some were incredibly big, but not so with the same capacities or worse.

We can't imagine the live on board with other 100, 200 or more sailors plus the battles with other armies or pirates. Disease had either overlooked, like scurvy or other lack of vitamins or staples.

The best of us
