The ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg on this day in 1912, causing it to sink. Pretend that you are a deep-sea diver who is exploring the ship's wreckage. What sunken treasures would you find?
Amiah A. I would try to find some stuff that proves i was there some that i could sell. I would hope to find some cool history stuff. There might be some jewels because there were first class people on it and they couldn't save everything.
Emmanuel T. if i could find a thing from the titanic i would find a jewel for one of the lady's who sunk with the titanic, a mirror from the bedrooms, the steering wheel, and the captain`s hat and suit.
Keith.F If I were a deep sea diver i'd find the gold,silver, and a special book about the captain and i would find how did the iceberg got there and information about the captain.
Elijah G. If I was a deep sea diver and found the Titanic I would find lots of fancy stuff like rings with diamonds on them, gold bracelets, and fancy cups.
Patricia A. if i was a deep-sea diver and i was trying to find things that were on board the Titanic it would have to be......... i would try to find the picture that Jack made Rose because that thing would be warth a lot of money and if you keep that for a long time you can sell it when you get older or you could save it for a family picture. Then i would try to find that necklace that Billy gave to Rose that thing was amazing.That is what i would try to find.
Cynthia E If I was a deep sea diver I would find on the titanic some old jewelry and also paintings.Then also the metal for the ship I would take some.Maybe I would find old dresses too.
Isaiah G. If i were a deep sea diver looking inside the TITANIC i would find some old soggy tickets that say the persons name what class they were (1st, 2nd, 3rd, boiler, etc). i would also find some pearls that were once on a necklace, there will be a couple sharks, hammerhead to be exact. i would see a lot of big boiler ovens down at the bottom of the ship. when i swim to the entrance to the boiler room there will be a lot of big boxes full of wet coal. at the captains lodge i will find some money, a jacket, a water bucket, an old bottle of luxury wine, some boots, a sailors hat, a radio, and some sea turtles hanging out under the dashboard of the steering mechanism. when i swim to the very back of the boat i come to a stop because there is no back of the boat. i would find a bunch of gold bracelets and diamond rings. i will also find a lot of algae to collect. there will be a COUPLE bones LEFT. i will find some old pocket watches and some old rusty pocket knives. there will be old server uniforms. there will be a lot of glass.
Karlye C. If I were a deep sea diver looking inside the Titanic I would find some old tickets. I also find people bodys too. I also find a shark and animals too. And the last thing is I would find gold.
Tyler W. If I were a deep sea diver, and I went into the sea near the Titanic, I would see a big mess. there wouldn't be much wood because it would decay. And the sail and other fabric would disintegrate. I would travel closer and see the ship was split in two. I would try to fit through a port window and get a look inside. As I would enter the large kitchen the there would be gigantic amounts of rust and growth . there would be dust and filth in the water. I would swim to the hallway and see a barracuda squeeze through the port hole. I quickly slam the kitchen door but it just falls of its hinges. I swim down the hallway dodging floating glass on the way. The barracuda chases me. Its a dead end there is one door to the right. The door is a water-tight hand wheel door the ones you crank. above reads a sign stating captains quarters.its wheel is rusted shut. the barracuda draws closer. I break off the rust and try the wheel it barely budges. The barracuda is about 19 feet away I turn with all my might it cracks open i jump in and push the steel door closed. The room is halfway full of rusty air I see something shining in the closet door. I pry it open.Then I see a chest! It is popped open full of gold and silver rubies-bang, the door rattles-bang-bang it starts to make a dent. how will I get the treasure out ! I grab a water proof sack I brought and fill it with as much "treasure" as I can fit. I see a window behind me. I break through the window behind me and swim out its extremely heavy and starts to drag me down I'm about 37 ft away from the boat window and I see the barracuda break down the door and chase after me I pick up m pace but its hard I swim up diagonally toward the boat I cam from which is 30 ft away.I get closer to the boat and likewise the barracuda does to me. A rubie rips a small hole in the bag. I swim faster 2 rubies and a few gold coins fall out I reach the boat climb half way out and throw the the treasure on board I'm almost out of the water and the deadly fish snags my leg and drags me down I struggle up but don't have the strength a crew member fires him off of me, and pulls me on board.
Cassie C. If I were a deep-sea diver exploring the wreckage of the Titanic, I would find parts of the so called unsinkable ship because it broke apart like puzzle pieces after it sunk. So I would only find parts of whats left of the huge ship scattered over the Ocean. First I would find what used to be the top deck of the Titanic were people used to dance, and have parties, and relax on. But are now a deck for fish and other sea creatures to swim, hide, and hunt on. I would find what was the captains quarters and the huge wheel the he guided the massive ship with till it sunk. There was little fish and big fish of all types and colors using the captains quarters as a hiding spot from bigger predictors. I could just see a small box that was used for 1st class to put all their valuables in like a safe, from thieves. I look in it only to find it full of emerald earnings, pearl necklaces and a matching bracelet and earnings to go with it, there would also be ruby necklaces and coins. I would take the treasure that I found and give it to the poor in Africa so they can use it trod hospitable supplies and wells. I would leave the captains quarters and search around the ship for anything else. I would find chairs that fell of the top deck along with cups, broken glass and plates that would have been on the top deck. Wile searching around the ship I would also find bodies of those who went down with the ship or freezing to death on the surface before drowning. Most of the bodies were grown men because women and children went on the life boats first. Their were not enough life boats because they thought their was no need for them, they called the Titanic the unsinkable ship which God proved the wrong. I chose the top deck because the lower you went down in classes the lower bodies you would find because they were not able to escape the rushing waters coming trod them.
Hunter C. If I was A deep sea diver exploring the Titanic I would find these things. the captains personal Lodge with lots of stuff like couches a coat a table and chairs.In his bead room there is a big queen sized bed a dresser with a chair next to it and a closet with coats and shoes in it.I would also find the steering wheel and all the gears.
Kyleigh b. If I was a deep sea diver and found the titanic, I would first go down to where the people lived and slept and would find their skeletons and other possetions ,I would also see all of the different fish and sea life. Next, I would search the kitchen for expensive plates and utinsils that could be worth money. After that I would search the place where they put their luggage and other personal belongings and see if there is anything there I would also see if there were any new species of fish and or other sea and plant life. I would love to see if there were still bones from the people that sunk with the boat and to talk to the people that lived through this tragedy.
Johanna B. If is would a deep sea diver I would find a treasure chest or chest that says " Sacred Do Not OPEN''. Then I would open it and find a kinfe with blood stained in it, maybe as used for stabbing people. Then there was a diary that explained the feelings and emotions of the awful tragedy of the Titanic. Also there would be a few rubies that were stained with green moss. Then I would find a dead body maybe it was the sailor or captain that drowned with the Titanic. I would wrap it up and take it for inspection. That is what I would find on the ship wreck of the Titanic if I was a deep sea diver.:-D
Rebecca B. If i were a scuba-diver and I came across the Titanic, I would find gold, silver and precious gems. I would find gold cups, and a chest full of silver. There would be jewelry left behind from the women, so there I would find lots of gems. I'd probably also find bones of people, and lots of marine animals making the sunken Titanic their home.
Caleb B. If I were a scuba-diver I would find some silver, and some gold hidden in the ships. I could also the bones of the people who died in the sinking of the ship.
