The Unsinkable Ship that Sank

The “Unsinkable” Ship That Sank “The Titanic was unsinkable…” was a thought that ran through many people’s heads as they heard the news that it had been struck with an iceberg. They believed it couldn’t sink because the Titanic was so big and strong that nothing in the world could take it down. Whenever people today think of the Titanic, we think of how it sank and how many people lost their lives, …

…or could have occurred to save more lives that were lost at sea. Irony is not only a theme in the account by Baldwin, but it was also reoccurring on the actual night when 2,201 people faced life or death situations and decisions. The R.M.S. Titanic was a very interesting read because of the irony used and because all readers know very well that the once thought “unsinkable” ship would face an unfortunate doom.
