L10(1)：The loss of Titanic

The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th， 1912. She was carrying 1，316 passengers and crew of 891.

Even by modern standards, the 46，000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At the time，however，she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments.

Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.

Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy water of the North Atlantic, huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout.
