Sinking ship
One Day While trying to dodge the iceberg. It was pretty huge from what I could see. We were pretty far but We had to turn. I was turning the wheel until it was finished. But we were going at a speed of 25 mlp. It was pretty fast and slow for a boat.
The boat we were in was big. So it could sink for a minimum of 3 hours SInce it was that big. We were getting closer and closer every time to the iceberg. We were turning but it wasn’t turning as fast as we thought it would. We had to make a plan as quick as possible Because it was Getting real close.
We Turned a little and it hit the prepallers and that is when we had to get in our lifeboats straight away. It was sinking for a long time so we had no time but to leave. So we left and went to our destination at our home. I wanted to save the people that were down in the water with a life Jacket. But I couldn’t save them because they would die in the cold water.

Titanic sinking
One cold morning waking up in the titanic. I was Dead asleep But I had to drive the boat. This was the first time I have driven a big boat or a yacht. It had been a long time but I was in first class. I felt sad for the third class because They didn’t get the same as us.
It had been 2 hours and 30 minutes and I was fully prepared to drive. Our biggest fear was an iceberg Oh Nooooooooooo! It was scary But luckily we had lifeboats but there wasn’t enough for all of us. I had to be focused. In my space I didn’t wanna think about it.
Suddenly Fleet and Lee found an iceberg right ahead. So they made a distress call And I got it right away. So I had to Spin the steering wheel around so many times. Then the people that were in this Secret place Had to move this Wheel that looked like a clock.
Oh nooo! We were very close and were about to get hit so we were getting ready to lower the lifeboats. Then all of a sudden We crashed and got the lifeboats down as soon as possible. It had been 2 hours and was nearly down. Then the first boats left and the others went. There were not many survivors alive.
