Titanic, its elegant, a legendary story that I love it very much. Do you know the leading characters of the movie? Yes, Jack and Rose. It is not surprised to hear the above utterance. Whenever people talk about Titanic, they will conceive the movie immediately. Everyone was actually touched by her story. However, you may not wholly understand the background history of Titanic.
Now, Id like to share my knowledge with you about the largest passenger steamship, Titanic. It was an Olympic-class passenger liner built at the year of nearly a century ago.

Try to imagine that if the prominent people were Diana of Britain, Bill gates of Microsoft, did she arouse the curiosity of all people? Only the mystery of the Titanic still exists, it will appeal to everyone.
Fourth, we could see the intrinsic human nature during the shipwreck. The Supreme Commander, captain
