Third Class Visit to Titanic Experience November 2012

 

Mr. Flynn's Third Class made a visit to the Titanic Experience in Cobh as part of our study of the Titanic during the 100th Anniversary. The following report was written by Meave Moran.

 

 

 

I went to the Titanic Experience in Cobh or as it used to be Queenstown in 1912. I went with my Teacher and class. We travelled by bus and it was so much fun! There was a movie we watched as soon as we got in but first we got a ticket of a passenger that travelled from Queenstown. I was a lady called Delia McDermott. She was 31 years old and a third class passenger. I found out at the end that she survived. It was very interesting. Our teacher, Mr. Flynn gave us a quiz. Some of the questions were hard and some were easy. We saw a few other movies during the tour. One of them was when we were in a lifeboat and the Titanic was sinking. On the screen it looked as if you were being lowered down as the Titanic was sinking. You then saw the Titanic snap in half! It was amazingly cool. It looked as if it was actually happening. It was kind of sad to watch, as it was one of the biggest tragedies in Irish history. We also got to see the third and first class cabins. There was a huge difference. First class were lucky and third class not so much! Well it was a great experience seeing luxurious cabins and cool movies and our tour guide was really nice, she told us loads. I loved it there and I would definitely go back again. I would recommend it to other classes and schools and other families. I would give it five out of five icebergs!!!
