  1. Dear Diary,

    This was the most frightening day of my life. The panic on all the floors of the Titanic were all the same. People pushing falling and being trampled by the stampede of people trying to get to the top deck. I was in first class so we got to go on to the top deck aswell as my fellow first class residents. Even though there where only first class cruisers there was still rampaging people everywhere you looked. I was only 12 years of age so me, my sister and my Mom had to get onto the lifeboat and leave my Father behind. I wish they had let me stay or let me Father come with the rest of our family. We were heading to England our home because we were in Ireland to see my Uncle Selvester and my Aunt Silvia. That was the last time I saw my Father. When we were on the boat I looked around to see who got on. I only saw four third class women on the boats. It was dreadful thinking about all those people in second and third class who died. Let their souls rest in peace.

  2. Dear Dairy,

    The Titanic is starting to sink and I thought that it was the "unsinkable" Titanic. I am perpareing the lifeboats for the
    first class passengers. I hate to see that some of the third class passengers are jumping off the Titanic and making other passengers feel scared. There are people running around and panicing. I hate to see all of this chaos and it makes my stomach feel sick inside. I never should have boarded the Titanic. I've always feared this day would come.

  3. On the Titanic the captain. E Smith was trying to save the peoples lives because he can get to the harber on time but then the ice berge then cold water gushed into the boat then the captain said abandon ship before the the ship sinks but all the 1st class passenger were on the lifeboats first then all the 3rd class passengers were panicing because the people that were working on the ship were trying to trape them in the area were the water was rising to the 1st class then the boat starts to sink head first then all the life boats prayed that the people on the Titanic would be in peace then the Titanic sunk to the bottem of the ocean and all the 1st class passengers was crying about their husbands and I think that is really sad that they died on the Titanic.

  4. Dear Diary,
    Right now I am aboard the said to be “unsinkable” Titanic. Fact is, this ship is completely sinkable, as it is going to sink in a few hours. It had hit an iceberg, as we have been told. “We” as in my family and I. What do I do? It’s chaos around here! Some lame guys are in the corner playing music, trying to relax the passengers, but they haven’t really succeeded so far. In my opinion, nobody would be able to be soothed when you are on a sinking ship at midnight in the middle of the ocean and it is freezing cold! Something that scares me a lot is that I heard some other families whispering about rumours about only 20 lifeboats aboard! Geez, these people really did think that this boat was unsinkable.

  5. Dear Diary,
    This will be my last entry to you. The RMS Titanic, the boat I am on, is sinking. I am not allowed to bring any luggage what so ever, so I can’t bring you. I just want you to know how I feel. There is panic in the air, and screaming that pierces the ear. I can feel the cold salty air from the ocean irritating my skin. Wait one more thing . Over the screaming I hear a faint soft noise. Right over there in corner I see a small band playing the most relaxing music ever. Although I hope to get a new diary, it will never be as good as you. Well this is the end. Goodbye.

  6. Dear Diary,

    I am speechless. How should I, Bailey, only 11 years old from England be in this type of situation? This is impossible! The Titanic is quickly sinking and all I can do is hope that I will get onto a lifeboat in time. I am starting to panic beacause what will be my second option if my family and I do not make it to a lifeboat. So many diffrent questions begin to run through my head. Will I be able to survive in the ice cold waters? Will anyone be around to help us? Thing's are so frantic, what if I get seperated from my family and never see them again? what would happen next? As my family and I run to a life boat I feel sorry for the people that are on the second and third class because they are upset that they are not going to make it to the lifeboat's. The band began to perform a peaceful tune to calm the passengers down. But there was still mayhem in the air. Thankfully my family and I are makeing our way onto a lifeboat I began to thank God. I hope that the second and third class passengers will be okay. I hope someone comes to rescue them. I am putting my diary away. I hope that I can write more soon when this tragedy ends.

  7. Dear Diary,

    The Titanic is sinking now and I thought the “Unsinkable” would never sink. I am scared and wondering if everyone will make it out safely and alive. If I don’t live, then I want my family and friends to know I will miss them but still love them with all of my heart. And for the people who don’t make it, I want their souls to be guided to Heaven. I do really wish this never happened and I was back at home safe. Everyone is doing what they can, the crew putting others before themselves, the Captain trying to get help and not abandoning the ship. If these are my last words, I just want to thank God for being there and helping me and everyone else.

  8. Dear Diary,

    It is April 14th 1912 at 1:45, and we have been warned that the R.M.S Titanic is going to sink in around 1 hour and women and children are only aloud to aboard the lifeboats. The 1st and 2nd class gets to go on first, and the third class has to a banded ship or if you are lucky you will get a extra seat on any open seats on the lifeboat. Luckily, I am 2nd class and I am getting ready to aboard a lifeboat. I am scared because I am only 11 and everybody is crying because they have lost all there loved ones and I don’t want to lose my dad because he has to a banded ship because he is not aloud on the lifeboats and if he tries to get on the lifeboats he would get shot. All I hear is high pitch screams from people slowly dieing in the freezing, deadly, cold water. There also is this nice jazz band playing on the deck trying to calm people down but I personally think it is really not working. I hope the Carpathia will come in time to save the Titanic and its passengers. I have always been scared of this day to come. S.O.S.

    Dear Diary,
    I am scared, hopeless wondering if I'll ever write to you again. I know what you may be thinking Alessia scared? Well it’s true I am terrified! The Titanic, the ship I believed was unsinkable is now already halfway under the frozen water. I am locked on the Third Class section of the ship squished between hundreds of other worried passengers. The water has already started to fill up my section of the ship and I don’t know if I’m going to make it. Obviously none of the crew cares about us Third Class passengers because we are still locked in the basement almost knee high in the freezing cold water. I’m just a 12 year old child who was on this ship to visit my aunt but now the only things I will be visiting will be the fish under the sea. I’ve been praying for almost two hours now hoping that god will save me! Finally the doors open and I am extremely excited, but it turns out that it’s just a crew letting us know that the last lifeboat has already left which means that there is no hope for me. I am neck high in water so I guess this means, goodbye…

    This might be the last time I write. I am abord the RMS Titanic. I feel nothing but scared, helpless and confused. I was supposed to be going to America to visit my very ill grandmother but that’s not going to work out. Apparently the Titanic is supposed to be the unsinkable ship. Word is, is that this ship is infact sinking right now. I am here with my mother and father. I think they feel just as scared as I do. People are screaming and trying to save their lives by sneaking into the very few life boats that are left. The crew members have said that it was women and children first but some people are so desperate that they will do anything to save themselves. I hope all of us will make it alive but as far as I know, that won’t be. I know my father will have to die. I have prayed for the last few hours wishing for many innocent souls to be saved especialy his. I have smelt the strong scent of smoke. I have heard many shouts, crys and prayers. I have also heard music playing. But I wondered why they would be playing it like a time like this. I guess it is to calm people down. But there really is no point. I’ve just been thinking for such a long time that what could have caused such a misserable tragedy. My Dear Diary, I must go now because a crew member is leading us to a life boat. Wish me and many others good luck and hope that we will survive.

  11. Dear Diary,
    This may be the last time I ever write. Im abord the Titanic. The ship has been struck by a iceberg and is now sinking fast. I'm very scared and so are many other passengers on the boat are too. I'm only 11 and I don't want to die to young I just hope I can get on a life boat before its to late. I also wish that many others will get on a life boat too. I can hear people shouting to open the 3rd class gates. People are shuffing and screaming. The 3rd class floor is filling up with water and and they still havn't open the gates. I've been praying to god to help us all get to the life boats before it is too late. I must go they have finally opened the gates. I hope I will make it to a life boat so that I can get back to my family.

  13. Dear Diary,
    This may be the last time that I write to you. The RMS Titanic was claimed to be unsinkable but apparently that is not the case. The reason I was going to tNew York city because my parents bought a house in New York. I am stuck on third class eagerly to get on the lifeboat because by my instincts are telling me that there are not many lifeboats left finally they let the third class go but there is only one more lifeboat left luckily I get on the last lifeboat. Then it happend the RMS titanic sank into the freezing cold ocean water where some of the passengers get wrappeed into the sucking whirlpool it was a very sad sight finally the carpathia shows up to rescue all the surrviving passengers. I am so lucky that me and my family made it.

  14. Dear Diary
    Just 10 minuets ago the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sunk. Fortunately I was abel to bring my diary/jernal to the life boat and I will be abel to tell you the tragic story of what happened just 10 minuets ago!
    The first thing that happened was when my mother told me to get on my warmest clothes on and head to the deck at 11:00 and I was not sure what was happening (because I was half asleep and grumpy to be woken from my deep sleep) until she explained to me that that the titanic had hit an iceberg and was sinking by the minuet and we had to move quickly if we wanted to get onto a lifeboat. When we finally made it to the deck they had already lowered 3 lifeboats into the water and the were paddling away fast! Since we were on first class we were abel to get on a lifeboat fast every one was screaming for there lives after about 30 seconds I realized a band playing the most beautiful music I have ever head in my live I very much wanted to tip the people who were playing the beautiful music before my mother had grabbed my arm and told me to pay attention thankfully my father had put a scarf on his head and a ladies jacket or he would probably not be alive or be with his family right now if it were not for his amazing impression of a old lady! I wish this Stupid ship was not claimed to be unsinkable or maybe so many lives would have been saved from drowning and hypothermia! the main thing that I am worried about is how long it will be before we are rescued by a boat!

  16. Dear Diary,
    It is April 15th, 1912. I am on the "unsinkable" Titanic. It struck an iceberg around an hour ago. I am in 3rd class and the crew members have locked us down here. Luckily I have been able to find a way out and make my way to the main deck. On my way up I saw a man sitting on a chair waiting for the ship to sink and other men playing poker because they know they won't get off the ship. I also saw chairs overturned and racks of plates that had fallen on the floor. I have made it to the main deck and chaos is all around me. People are rushing for the lifeboats. The crowds are so big that I don't think I have a chance of making it onto a lifeboat. I look over the side of the boat and see people jumping off into the icy water. So I thought I'd take my chances and jump off the ship and try to swim to a lifeboat. When I get into the water I am freezing to the bone. The pain is unbearable. I swim to a lifeboat as fast as I can and almost get stuck in the downward pull of the Titanic. Luckily I make it to a nearby lifeboat and they haul me in. I pray for the people who are still on the Titanic.

  17. Dear Diary,
    The so called unsinkable Titanic hit an iceberg and the ship is going down. I'm in second class. There is a lot of chaos going on this is the last hour. There only letting woman and children onto the boats first. Well woman don't wont to leave there husbands and children do not wont to leave there dad's the musicians are playing to try and calm people down. There is something very interesting about people. Like the first class there all snobby and don't help but the second and third class are helping. Like if there is a pregnant woman or a woman with children then the people will let them on and try to get the next boat. The captain (Edward Smith) says that he is going to go down with the ship. The captain tried to prevent this tragedy but it was to late. I hope that i'll be able to write again.

    Dear Diary,
    Everyone around me is running wild, trying to get to a lifeboat so that they can get off the sinking R.M.S Titanic. All I can hear is the soft violin playing in my ears while people shriek as they try to collect their children and get off the grand vessel. My mother and I are third class passengers so it is not likely we will get a boat because there only three left. She tried to get me on a boat since I am only 9, but because we were not first class, we had to wait until there were only a few left. Lots of people are just plowing their way through, trying to get on the last boats. Right now, my mother is cradling my head in her arms, trying to keep me from seeing the nightmare on the deck. She softly whispers my name in my ears. “Adam. Adam.” She let me write one last entry in my diary so that people may be able to use it in the future. As I write, I can feel the bottom of the boat dipping down into the dark blue sea. I asked my mother what was going to happen and she did not say a word which left me anxious. When I take a look around me I finally really realize what’s going on. Soon enough when the lifeboats are gone, the other people will run around the Titanic until it sinks to the bottom of the cold ocean blue. Everyone is yelling and pushing with terrified looks on their faces. I can’t focus on anything and I am panicking so much. The only question I have is “Will I survive?”

    Right now, I can feel the top of the boat tipping up and I’m watching people jump off the side of the ship. The cold air chills my face and all I want to do is go back home. I miss my sister and brother so badly, and wish I could just see my dad once more. I am overwhelmed by all the screaming cries from the helpless people. I never imagined such chaos in my life. I can’t stop looking at those last lifeboats, hoping that I can get in one of them. The ice on the deck keeps me thinking of what we could have possibly done to prevent this mayhem. The only thing I can do is stare down into the deep blue water which waits to engulf the R.M.S. Titanic, and hope for a miracle.

  20. Dear diary,


    I hear my parents say ‘I guess this is it’ the Titanic is sinking more and more thousands of people are screaming in panic. I can hear the band playing in the background trying to calm them down. I take a quick glance over at the lifeboats most of them are gone. I start begging my mom to get to a boat but she’s to busy hanging out with dad. I don’t think I am going to make it we’re third class and we have to wait till first class is gone, yes we make our way into a line and it’s moving fast. We reach the front but we get thrown back he knows we’re third class. It was a cold night, my hands are freezing, I see people jumping off, are they crazy, I think to myself, the water must be freezing. I `m right! I see people shivering and some start to drown. I look over again I only see 2 lifeboats left. The ship is about 4 meters under water, then out of no where I find me and my mom getting in a lifeboat. I read the side of the boat and it says Titanic lifeboat No.20. I am so relieved! Well really we get kicked out he notices we’re not seconded class by the clothes we’re wearing 5 minutes later I hear a crack and a steam stack falls into the water. The ship splits and I’m separated from my mom. The water is freezing! I know I’m a dead man! I`m not a good swimmer, then a wave about 3 feet tall collapses on me and I am fully under water and this was it for me I let go of my diary unfinished as I go down slower and slower to the depths of the Atlantic. I think I said ` I will mis……

  21. Dear Diary, April 14th 11:53 am

    I rush quickly down the halls as passengers scream
    and I question whats happening, but I bet my mother
    can't even hear me through the terrifying fact that
    the Titanic the once "Unsinkable" ship is sinking to
    its watery grave below the Atlantic Ocean. A crewman
    rushes my mother and I through what feels like a never
    ending hallway, leading us to higher ground where If
    we were lucky we would make it to a lifeboat. As time
    passes we finally make it to the top deck where everybody
    is cramping trying to save their own lives instead of
    others first. I trip as a crewman pushes me into a
    lifeboat seperating me from my mother. I scream to get
    her back but no one listens or cares about my family.
    we finally get lowered to the water I push to the edge
    of the lifeboat where I gasp with relief as I see my mother
    boarding a lifeboat 2 down from myown. "Splash" the water goes when
    a 500 pound lifeoat clumps down onto it. "Ice" builds on the passengers skin as if they were not even wearing anything in a snowstorm. "Fear"
    grows inside me as I drift more and more away from my mother and Titanic
    I hope I live.
