Перевод рассказа: «Титаник» был самым большим кораблём в мире в 1912 году. Капитан Эдвард Смит и инженеры считали, что он абсолютно безопасен и непотопляем. Многие люди купили билеты на его первый рейс через Атлантический океан из Европы в Америку. Среди пассажиров были богатые люди и многочисленные пассажиры третьего класса, которые эмигрировали в Америку. Жизнь на борту была комфортной и роскошной, особенно для пассажиров первого класса. Они наслаждались музыкой, вкусной едой и развлечениями.

Поздно вечером 14 апреля, в 23:40, пассажиры и команда услышали ужасный звук. «Титаник» столкнулся с айсбергом. Моряки не заметили его, потому что ночь была тёмной, туманной и холодной. Началась паника, когда люди обнаружили, что спасательных шлюпок не хватит на всех. В 2:20 15 апреля «Титаник» затонул, и погибло более 1 500 человек. В 5 часов утра лайнер «Карпатия» прибыл к месту трагедии и спас людей, находившихся в шлюпках. Выжило только около 700 пассажиров.
