The Lost Ship Pt1

Steven was just an ordinary man with a huge past.

Let's start from the beginning…

What had happened to cause such devastation? How could such a mighty, prestigious vessel have ended its journey in such a way? Was there any sign of the precious cargo that the ship had started its journey with? Where were the crew?
These were just some of the questions Steven was asking himself as he stared through the submarine’s porthole. Turning around he saw his diving gear, which was still wet from the morning exploration, and decided it was time to go and find answers.
One day Steven had decided to go on what might be the biggest ship that ever sailed on earth, the Titanic!

So he went and got tickets a year before it sailed.
When the day finally arrived he showed the man at the ticket booth his ticket and got on the boat. When it set sail Steven was at the bow of the ship. he had already gone to his room and put the luggage away. He said goodbye to all his family members and hoped he would see them again soon.
After about 5 days at sea he noticed a strange smell coming from the kitchen of the Titanic. It was a like something was burning, he just thought that perhaps it was just some food that they were cooking left on a bit too long.

At about one in the morning he heard people shouting “what are they shouting about?” Steven thought to himself. He got up and got dressed and noticed that the boat was tipping forward a bit so he ran upstairs to the top of the ship and noticed there was a big black hole in the side of the ship. Steven reported it to the crew members and when they saw it they told the captain who immediately sounded the alarm which woke everybody up. Within 5 minutes the crew members started telling everyone to evacuate the ship immediately. They said there was a fire and they didn't deal with it because they thought it would be gone by now.

Just before they got everybody to the escape rafts everybody noticed the captain was going towards an iceberg accidentally because it was very foggy. Before the captain could turn the ship the iceberg hit right where the black hole was and normally it could withstand the iceberg but the metal was weakened because of the fire.

A German Army ship sailed by and they started to shoot cannonballs at the Titanic which made it sink even more. After that almost everybody got off onto the escape raft but there was no room for other people to go on so they had to hold onto the side of the ship. Steven was lucky he got a raft that was only big enough for one person. Steven was also very tired so he fell asleep and he started drifting out into the ocean.

When he woke up he noticed he was hitting something and it was land. Steven had crossed the Atlantic Ocean in one night and he was by a port in New York City. He did not know what happened to anybody else he just hoped they weren't dead.

He did not know what to do now that he found himself in a different country so first he went to find the police station to report what had happened. He asked people for directions and eventually he got there. He went up the stone steps and told the person who looked like he was in charge what had happened. Afterwards the policeman asked Steven for his details and then asked “By any chance do you know where the other people are” Steven just replied “no I don't sorry”.

After living in New York for a while he got a job as an underwater explorer and go to go on many explorations. Steven was chosen for one particular expedition……..

“We’re almost here” said the captain of the submarine “the Titanic - now Steven you should know about this place like the back of your hand after all you were chosen for this mission because you have sailed on the Titanic” “I wouldn't exactly say I know it like the back of my hand but I do know it fairly well” said Steven.

When they got there Stephen went straight to his diving gear then out the top of the submarine and into the Titanic. He went straight to his room on the Titanic to see if any of his stuff was still there and indeed it was. All his clothes and other stuff he had taken along with him were still there, so he gathered up all the stuff and went back to the submarine to put it under his bed. He went straight back down to help the other explorers to find out how the Titanic had sunk.

Now Steven did know but apparently there was more to just an iceberg the fire and the German Army ship…

Part 2 COMING SOON...
