Famous Shipwrecks of the Deep [Thursday, Period One, 9/23]
Summer had sent out a handwaved e-mail to her students to meet in the Danger Shop for class. She waited for everyone to arrive before starting. "Fandom thought it amusing to turn me into a bird last week, so I apologize for missing out on class. But Ariel did a wonderful job taking over for me, so everything was in good hands." She smiled in Ariel's direction if she was there before continuing. "Today, we're learning about the Titanic. On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg. It was a White Star ocean liner and had all the amenities you could ever imagine -- a gymnasium, pools, a squash court and Turkish baths."
Once Summer finished with her lecture, the students would find that parts of the Titanic had been simulated for them to explore.
"At 11.40pm on 14 April 1912, the Titanic’s lookout rang the bell three times and said, “Iceberg right ahead”. Sadly all subsequent efforts to avoid collision came too late and a rock-hard spur of ice ripped into the ship like a giant tin opener, puncturing 250ft of the ship’s hull. With too few lifeboats on board for the number of passengers, panic started to set in. At 2.20 am on 15 April 1912, the Titanic made her final plunge into the depths of the North Atlantic - 1,503 people died," she added. "I think it's fairly safe to say that the Titanic is the most famous shipwreck of all time. It sank a few hundred miles southeast of Newfoundland and was discovered on September 1, 1985." It was safe to say that the Titanic was near and dear to Summer's heart and she'd give anything to get to explore it, hence her creating the dive in the Danger Shop for her students.
"The ship had broken into two virtual halves - the bow and the stern. The bow remains relatively intact, while 2000 feet away the stern lies severely damaged and deformed. People can see the famous shipwreck on board a submersible that sets off from Canada. Today, I've made it so you can dive down to the ship and actually explore parts of it. So have fun and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
