During the year of 1912, the Titanic ship was built and launched by April. The ship’s first destination was to arrive in New York, USA, from being launched from Belfast UK. Along the journey of this vessel, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the southern Atlantic Ocean, and became completely submerged in water. This ship contained approximately 2,220-2,230 people aboard, and only enough lifeboats to keep 1,178 people afloat. Unfortunately, only about 700-710 known people had survived.

...Titanic...

I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that.

 I created a map using Google Maps to create a visual representation of what the route of the RMS Titanic looked like on paper. This route consisted of 3 places where the ship was launched and docked, and one point where the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank The ship was first built in Belfast UK, from there it sailed to Southampton, where it picked up more passengers, then carried on to Cherbourg, France. At Cherbourg, more passengers boarded the ship and then it carried on with its route through the English Channel to Queenstown, Ireland. After that last docking the ship set sail over the Atlantic Ocean, with hopes to dock in New York, over a span of a couple days. Unfortunately the ship never made it to New York... 

 

Within this word cloud not surprisingly, the largest and most noticeable word is "Titanic." After that, I noticed smaller words such as; disaster, survived, vessel, old, ship, sinking and iceberg. These words are the harsh but necessary details that represent the meaning of the historical event. 

 

For the second Wordle I had created, I entered in a whole bunch of data from summaries and reviews of the movie, Titanic. The film was produced in 1997 and consisted of the leading actor, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Once I began researching about the event and the film, I found that there were many differences. The love story that occurred between Jack and Rose from the film was fictional, but on the other hand there were many real characters such as the captain, who did stay on the ship as it sunk. The film presented a good representation of the unfortunate incident.
