How did the Titanic sink?

One of the first things to cover in your Titanic topic is exactly what happened to it and why did it sink? For a supposedly ‘unsinkable’ ship to sink on its maiden voyage is practically unthinkable! The real reason of course, is that the Titanic hit an iceberg in foggy weather – everyone knows that – but was it quite that simple? Find out more with the sinking of the Titanic information PowerPoint which explains this in more detail, in child-friendly language.
