《重返泰坦尼克英文版》第三章：参观泰坦尼克号

"It's much bigger than I thought," mark sighed. "Well, it was, after all, the biggest and most luxurious cruise ship of that time." "by the way, Professor, can you tell me something about this ship?"The Titanic, built at hananton wolf shipyard and launched on May 31, 1911, is one of the three Olympic class cruise ships owned by white star shipping company. The Titanic is 260 meters long, 28 meters wide and weighs about 46000 tons. It has four equally huge chimneys, one of which is connected to the kitchen, that is, the smoking one, and the other three are connected to the boiler room ”"Great, professor." "don't worry. It's just the appearance. The Titanic also provides deck swimming pool, gym, bathroom and elevator. One of the most famous features of Titanic is the luxurious stairs in the hall. The Titanic also has 16 watertight compartments to prevent sinking." I looked at mark and he seemed to be amazed by my explanation.

Besides, is it appropriate to eat in plain clothes in this era?" "That's right. Let's go." mark and I went back to our cabin. After changing our suits, mark and I went to the restaurant together. As we were on the a floor and the restaurant was on the D floor, we had to go down a few floors. We took the most famous staircase. "The time is coming." I thought to myself, my heart is beating uneasily, I appreciate the last beauty of this luxury cruise
