Ngokwentatheli ethe yachitha ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-30 iphanda ngenqanawa, umlilo uqhushumbe kwisikhephe senqanawa kangangeeveki ezintathu ebuthathaka ubume benqanawa ngaphambi kokuba ingqubane nomkhenkce, yabulala abakhweli abangaphezu kwe-1,500.

Abaphandi beTitanic bayamkele ithiyori ngaphambili kodwa ngenxa yeefoto ezintsha, abaninzi batyhola umlilo njengoyena nobangela wokuntywila kwenqanawa.

Intatheli uSenan Molony wazisa ubungqina bakhe bomlilo kwincwadi ebhaliweyo, I-Titanic: Ubungqina obutsha , yasasazwa e-UK ngeCawa.

Emva kokufunda iifoto ezathathwa ziinjineli zombane zenqanawa, uMolony wakwazi ukuchonga amanqaku amnyama angangeenyawo ezingama-30 ecaleni komzi. Amanqaku ayebekwe ngqo emva kwendawo apho i-iceberg yagqobhoza khona umgca wenqanawa.

Umlilo kungenzeka ukuba ubangelwe yivenkile yamafutha emva kwelinye lamagumbi okubilisa amanzi enqanawa. Abasebenzi bazamile ukucima umlilo, kodwa zange baphumelele.

Sijonge eyona ndawo kanye apho i-iceberg yancamathela khona, kwaye kubonakala ngathi sinobuthathaka okanye umonakalo kumzi-mveliso kuloo ndawo, ngaphambi kokuba ahambe naseBelfast, eMolony uxelelwe Ezizimeleyo . UMolony wathi amaqondo obushushu aphezulu emlilweni ngewanokuphelisa intsimbi yenqanawa ngama-75 eepesenti.

Ngoku ababhali-mbali babiza ukutshona kweTitanic yimveliso yokungakhathali kolwaphulo-mthetho.

Kuye kwahletywa ngaphambili ukuba iTitanic yayihamba ngokukhawuleza ngokukhawuleza kuba abasebenzi ababekhwele ebhodini babesazi ngomlilo ovuthayo ezantsi. Bayithathela ingqalelo njengebhombu yexesha kwaye bazama ukufikelela eNew York ngaphambi kokuba inqanawa iqhume, phantsi kwemiyalelo evela kumnini wenqanawa, uJohn Pierpont Morgan.

Uphando olwenziwe ngo-1912 ngesi siganeko lwacebisa ukuba ngenxa yesantya esiphezulu senqanawe, abasebenzi babengenalo ixesha elaneleyo lokuphepha umkhenkce ozayo.
