After the museum we went on the \u201cSS Nomadic\u201d it was one of the ships that had saved the transgressing. \u201cSS Nomadic\u201d is a former tender of the \u201cWhite Star Line\u201d, launched on 25 April 1911 in Belfast now on display in Belfast&#8217;s Titanic Quarter.

So I will write about the history of the Titanic disaster.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A bit history about the titanic disaster:<\/p>\n<p>But the first ship at the accident was the \u201cRMS Carpathia\u201d from Liverpool. The \u201cCarpathia\u201d departed from New York City at the 11st April in 1912. At 12.30 p.m. on 15th of April in 1912 the captain of the \u201cCarpathia\u201d got the first funk spells of Titanic for help. The ship now ran with 17 knots instead of 14, which was mainly due to the boiler men, who tirelessly shoveled coal into the boiler firing. In addition, the ship heating was turned off to transfer all available steam to the drive. Many passengers wasn\u00b4t happy about this until the moment until they knew why this is done. The passengers helped with the preparatory measures for accommodate the Titanic passengers. At around 4:00 am, just over an hour and a half after the sinking, \u201cCarpathia\u201d became the first vessel to reach the designated position and, shortly afterwards, took the first survivors from the lifeboats aboard. The Titanic had reported a wrong position about (18.5 km) so that the lifeboats were only accidentally found between the icebergs. On the evening of April 18, 1912, the Carpathia drove in the pouring rain with the 705 survivors of the Titanic disaster in the port of New York. Sometime later, Carpathia crew members were heroes in all the ports the ship headed to.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1302 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/05\/Titanic_Band-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/05\/Titanic_Band-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/05\/Titanic_Band-131x200.jpg 131w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/05\/Titanic_Band.jpg 308w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 85vw, 196px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the story about the musicians of the Titanic is true.

On April 10, 1912, Isidor Straus went with his wife Ida and two employees as First Class passengers aboard the luxury steamship Titanic. When the ship collided with an iceberg at 11:40 pm on April 14, the couple headed for lifeboat no. 8 on the port side. Since no men were allowed to board here in contrast to the starboard side, Ida Straus would have had to go alone. Isidor Straus was offered to make an exception with him, since he was already a very old man, but he refused. Since Ida Straus refused to leave her husband, the boat dropped off without them. Some saw the couple later still sitting on deck chairs.
