Product Information

Here is an online reading of “Who Sank the Boat?” for your watching pleasure. The book has been published many times since the first printing. The book in the read aloud is a first printing, and was well read. The remaining boats were filled much closer to capacity and in an increasing rush. No.11 was filled with five people more than its rated capacity. As it was lowered, it was nearly flooded by water being pumped out of the ship. No.13 narrowly avoided the same problem but those aboard were unable to release the ropes from which the boat had been lowered. It drifted astern, directly under No.15 as it was being lowered. The ropes were cut in time and both boats made it away safely. [135] Sinking of the Titanic by Henry Reuterdahl

Who Sank thee Boat?" by Pamela Allen is a creative children's book that relates the tale of a cow, a horse, a pig, a sheep, and a mouse and their simple journey of getting into a rowboat. However, as the title indicates, something goes wrong, and the boat sinks. The enjoyment of reading mainly comes from seeing the story unfold as first the cow, then the horse and the rest of the animals precariously perch on the small craft. Obviously, as the mouse mounts, the ship sinks. Full of fun illustrations, this book is a wonderful introduction (or reinforcement) for children to the concept of irony, and may also be used to promoted discussion or even debate about who actually sank the boat. By this time, it was clear to those on Titanic that the ship was indeed sinking and there would not be enough lifeboat places for everyone. Some still clung to the hope that the worst would not happen: when Eloise Hughes Smith pleaded whether Lucian, her husband of two months, could go with her, Captain Smith ignored her, shouting again through his megaphone the message of women and children first. Lucian said, "Never mind, captain, about that; I will see that she gets in the boat", before telling Eloise, "I never expected to ask you to obey, but this is one time you must. It is only a matter of form to have women and children first. The ship is thoroughly equipped and everyone on her will be saved." [125] Charlotte Collyer's husband Harvey called to his wife as she was put in a lifeboat, "Go, Lottie! For God's sake, be brave and go! I'll get a seat in another boat!" Neither man survived.

If the teacher answers the question correctly they can ask a student a question about Who Sank the Boat? and vice versa. The aim is for students to come up with a question about the book that the teacher cannot answer. In pairs students make a boat out of plasticine that can float. Experiment to see which boat in the class can stay afloat holding the most marbles. It may take several attempts for students to create a successful boat. Howells, Richard Parton (1999).

In accordance with existing practice, the Titanic 's lifeboat system was designed to ferry passengers to nearby rescue vessels, not to hold everyone on board simultaneously; therefore, with the ship sinking rapidly and help still hours away, there was no safe refuge for many of the passengers and crew with only 20 lifeboats, including 4 collapsible lifeboats. Poor preparation for and management of the evacuation meant many boats were launched before they were completely full. Mowbray, Jay Henry (1912). Sinking of the Titanic .

Engage children with digital learning

As you read, remember to ask your students why is one side is sinking and not the other? What do you think will happen if [a cow, a donkey, a sheep, a mouse, a pig, etc.] moves to the other side? Why did the little mouse sink it? What is happening to the boat? The idea is to get children to understand weight and balance.
