Metelko, Karl, ed. “Titanic Quotes.” WebTitanic. N.p., 2001. Web. 28 Nov. 2009. <http://www.webtitanic.net/.html>. This website was one of my primary sources that i used for my citations. It was a primary source because i used quotes of Thomas Andrews, the man who was the head designer of the Titanic. This was a very beneficial website for me because i was able to get two of Andrews’ quotes out of the website.
Thomas Andrews Memorial Society. “Thomas Andrews.” Thomas
Andrews Memorial Society. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Nov. 2009.
<https://www.angelfire.com///>. This website was extremely helpful for me
because it was my other primary source. The Thomas Andrews Memorial Society
gave me two quotes that I used as note cards. It’s very interesting to learn
that Thomas Andrews, the man who built and designed the Titanic, had a bad
feeling about the ship from the start. In both of his quotes, he said that he
thought that the Titanic would sink on its voyage, and it turns out he was
right.

<http://www.titanic-facts.com/construction.html>. This website was very
useful for me because it had a lot of information on how the ship was built.
Attic Designs wrote facts about the ship’s builders and how long it took for it
to be built. I was able to get four notecards out of this source on the
building of the ship. This was one of my most beneficial sources.

This section of the book, “The Titanic” gave me information about the safety
features that were included in the building of the ship. The author, Michael
Burgan, wrote about the ship’s watertight compartments that were supposed to
prevent the ship from sinking. I was able to get some good information.
Encyclopedia Britannica. “Titanic.” Encyclopedia
Britannica. Tahabi Books, 2003. Web. 2 Dec. 2009.
<http://www.britannica.com/titanic/01_01.html>. This website had alot
of information about the Titanic. The time of the ship sinking and also when it
was found in the sea. They told me about the designer and builders of the great
ship and also more information about the size of the ship. It also gave me
information on how the Titanic changed the way ships travel and why the
International Patrol was started.
Freiman, Fran Locher, and Neil Schlager. “R.M.S. Titanic
Sinks.” Failed Technology. Vol. 1. United Kingdom: Gale Research
International Limited, 1995. 3-11. Print. After the Titanic sank it started a
patrol group to help patrol icebergs in the shipping lanes. This source gave me
information about why it was formed and what it does. Plus it shows some of the
innovations that the Titanic started because this came about because of the
Titanics tragedy.
Garzke, William H. “Titanic.” World Book Advanced. N.p., 2009. Web. 28 Oct. 2009. <http://www.worldbookonline.com//?id=ar559340&st=titanic>.

There was a lot of information that came out of this World Book article.

This magazine article was useful for me because it gave me enough information
to write a note card about its lifeboats. It is very interesting that the
Titanic only had 20 lifeboats instead of 32 just for the purpose to make the
ship prettier. This online magazine gave me that information and no other
source that I had did.

that was given to the public at the time the ship was being built. It told me
estimated measurements and the type of engines that were out into the Titanic.

about all of the great things that the Titanic had on its ship to make it
better then any other boat. It also told
about how the survivors where rescued and why many didn't because of the lack of
lifeboats. It also said that the ship sank on April 14th.

This was all about when and how the boat sank and how it sank very fast. It
also said why it wasn’t supposed to ever sink and why it did anyway.
