Titanic
Since the time of Genesis, our world has been favored by the blessing and mercy of our Creator God, however, as the poet RUBEN DARÍO tells us: "IN MAN THERE IS A BAD YEAST, WHEN HE IS BORN COMES WITH SIN," and when we remember the tragedy that gives title to this note, our deep reflection shudders the sad thought to understand that we have eyes and we do not see the signs, we have heard and we do not hear the word and if that were not enough, it does not seem that we had learned to dominate the sins that take us away from God.
This introduction is valid when remembering the regrettable events where the TITANIC was the leading figure.
This colossal ship of 46,000 tons took three years to be built, there in the seafaring Belfast of Ireland, its imposing structure, the salomonic luxury of its facilities and above all, the great technological advance incorporated, awoke the arrogance of its owner and emerged the unfortunate expression of Unsinkable Boat, and according to the popular advice, from its builders the phrase "to this ship nor God sinks it" arose.
The truth is that the TITANIC sailed on April 10 to France, received some passengers and continued to Queenstown in Ireland, that would be his last port of contact, hundreds of Irish immigrants boarded the huge ship and full of dreams the deck Third class was filled with music and joy. The crossing begins at cruising speed, 22 knots, towards the dark and cold waters of the North Sea, the tranquility of the sea did not allow the displacement of the large masses of ice that by dozens floated on the ship's route ... at 23 o'clock On April 14 other ships warned the telegrapher about the risk of contact with Iceberg, these messages were not estimated and two hours later the darkness was complicit in the tragedy that would take two and a half hours to break and sink the debutante and unsinkable ship
The Captain of the Titanic, Edward Smith had expressed his confidence in the ship because "modern construction exceeds any condition". This phrase went down in history because on its maiden voyage the TITANIC was surprised by an Iceberg and 1514 passengers lost their lives drowned or by hypothermia, only 710 managed to survive from a ship that only carried 20 lifeboats.
Once again it was demonstrated that the Great Power of God is above all human vanity.
Following the seafaring tradition, Captain Edward Smith honored the expression; "THE CAPTAIN BECOMES HIS BOAT" which occurred at dawn on April 15, 1912.
Moral: happy the man who fears the Lord and greatly values his commandments Psalm 112.

It is strange, the tragedy of the Titanic marked a guideline for the navigation of height, small but impressive errors contributed to give greater impulse to the disaster, it is sad, I was a sailor and navigated r waters of Central and North America.
The story of the titanic will always remain a sad topic due to the vast number of lives and human potential lost. But with its loss comes a great lesson, 'no matter how advanced our technology becomes, man must not become overconfident'.
EFFECTIVELY, THE LESSON WAS LEARNED AT A HIGH COST OF PEOPLE FULL OF DREAMS, THE PIONEERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF U.S.A.
Shed tears after watching the titanic, lots of lives were lost in the tragic event.
Great entry @joeconuco21
