The Titanic

 " The Titanic "

          An American shipping line launched a new ship in 1912. Titanic was its name. There had been no other vessel at that time which could surpass the Titanic in luxury and enormity. Experts called it unsinkable. The Titanic was making its inaugural voyage on 14th April 1912 from England to the U.S.A across the Atlantic ocean. 2224 passenger were aboard the ship. All of them were in high spirits celebrating Titanic's maiden journey.

          Suddenly the ship stuck an iceberg. It was a fatal collision. This accident made a wide hole in the hull of the ship and the ship began to sink.

          As the ship was sinking the crew alarmed the passengers of the accident. But there were not enough lifeboats to rescue all the passengers who were aboard the ship. Therefore priority had to be given to women and children. The men had to remain on the ship. There was on other ship close to remove the remaining passengers off the sinking ship. Therefore the ship sank along with them. It was quite late when a far off ship could find the Titanic wreck.

The owner of the mobile telephone could give verbal messages or short messages to be read. Even the caller's...

A little word about me..

Image
As my first post I wanted to say about "myself" .... 😊😊  I am Sandamali Maheshika.  A lot of friends call me that "Sandaa". So I love that name.  I was born in the Mahiyangana area in the Badulla District.  So I love my hometown a lot. Moreover my date of birth was on the 5th of September , 1999. Which means I am 22 years old now I am a very sensitive girl.  Because even the smallest thing hurts me so quickly.  It's my weakness but I don't think about it.  Because of that quality I can understand the feelings of others.  I am an undergraduate of the University of Visual & Performing Arts. I have been dreaming of becoming a graduate for a long time. I am currently studying online. During my university life, I had the opportunity to meet friends from different parts of Sri Lanka.  I'm very happy about that. I am someone who is always smiling happily.  Most of the time when I have a break, I engage in friendly conversations with frien...
