| [00:05.840] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
| [00:11.360] | --- What would have happened if only two of the sixteen water-tight compartments had been flooded? |
| [00:19.720] | The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, |
| [00:29.040] | She was carrying 1,316 passengers and a crew of 891 |
| [00:37.360] | Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. 。 |
| [00:44.560] | At that time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, |
| [00:50.240] | but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments. |
| [00:57.280] | Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. |
| [01:02.640] | The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life. |
| [01:13.080] | Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic,^“ |
| [01:20.480] | a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout. |
| [01:25.320] | After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. |
| [01:33.040] | The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her.^“ |
| [01:44.040] | Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened. |
| [01:52.280] | The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. |
| [01:58.080] | Below, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, |
| [02:04.200] | for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded!^16 |
| [02:10.120] | The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. |
| [02:15.960] | As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1,500 lives were lost.^ |
