the Titanic
Would you like to sail across the ocean? What sort of vessel would you go on? What would be the dangers in the big open ocean do you think?
Iceberg ahead! This week we are going to learn the story of the Titanic. The Titanic was a huge ship that only sailed on one voyage between England and America. We will learn about how ships are built and how they float, the people who were on the Titanic, what happened to the Titanic to cause her to never reach her destination and what has happened in the years that have followed her story.
