April 10, 1912

 I'm Walking up to the dock where I see this big ship. I look on its side and I notice it says “Titanic”. This is the ship that is called the “Unsinkable Ship.” My dad purchased my first class ticket to travel to Ireland on. Actually my whole family is going.

As my family and I are walking onto the ship, I notice how magnificent this thing looks. There was a gym, a pool, and everything looked very high class.

I walked into the main center of the ship and I heard wonderful music. Everyone I saw was having a good time. All the people were so excited to be on the ship. We have started out journey.

I woke up looking forward to another fun day on the Titanic. Yesterday was one of the best days of my life.

My Aunt Kate and I went out of our cabin to go take pictures of the beautiful objects aboard the Titanic. Aunt Kate had me pose leaning against a rail. I tried to convince her to move forward because I thought she was to far away but she said she wanted the whole deck in the picture.

We spent most of our day taking photos on the ship. I can't wait to see the pictures.

My exciting journey on the Titanic is over. My family and I got off the ship yesterday in Ireland. I wish I could've gone to New York. There were still so many areas of the ship that I wanted to explore and photograph. I tried to go take a picture of the Capitan, but an officer stopped me. Maybe on my next journey on a ship I will be able to meet the Capitan.

I was reading on the ship that the Titanic is going to be traveling through some dangerous waters. I understand that there could be icebergs but they say the ship is “unsinkable” so the harsh waters shouldn't be a problem.

Today I was astonished! My Uncle Stanley told me that the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank. He said that there were not enough lifeboats for everyone on board, so most people who didn't make it on lifeboats died.

I think about how lucky I was to get off one stop before it sank. The news reports say that there are about 700 survivors. I wonder if any of my new friends that I met on the ship made it. I will have to wait and watch for the names to come in the newspaper. I guess the Titanic was not unsinkable.
