: On April 14, 1912 there was another boat out on the water in
Trouble. this ship was considered unsinkable, it had the latest
Technology built in. The Captain of the ship said “ I can’t Imagine any condition that would cause this ship to flounder I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this ship.” On a moonless night at 11:30 p.m. the watch out saw a black Shape ahead There were many warning signs of impending disaster, but
No one heeded them. there was an iceberg ahead and the mighty Titanic went down. The Church and we as individuals in a lot of ways are like the Titanic and is sailing Right towards an iceberg, there are warning signs but they Are not heeding them. Here are some of the icebergs waiting on. are we warning the people of danger?
God is saying wake up! Wake up! there’s danger ahead!
Titanic Disaster, one of the worst maritime disasters in history. The British luxury liner Titanic (46,000 gross tons) of the White Star Line, on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City, struck an iceberg about 153 km (about 95 mi) south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland just before midnight on April 14, 1912. Of the more than 2220 persons aboard, about 1513 died, including the American millionaires John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, and Isidor Straus.
The ship had been proclaimed unsinkable because of its 16 watertight compartments, but the iceberg punctured five of them, one more than had been considered possible in any accident, and the Titanic sank in less than three hours. Subsequent investigations found that the ship had been steaming too fast in dangerous waters, that lifeboat space had been provided for only about half of the passengers and crew, and that the Californian, close to the scene, had not come to the rescue because its radio operator was off duty and asleep. These findings led to many reforms, such as lifeboat space for every person on a ship, lifeboat drills, the maintenance of a full-time radio watch while at sea, and an international ice patrol.
