    The document provides information about the Titanic disaster through matching questions, reading comprehension questions, and vocabulary. Some key details: 1) The Titanic sank in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from England to New York. It was the largest and most luxurious passenger ship at the time. 2) There were not enough lifeboats for all passengers because having more was considered unnecessary. As a result, over 1,500 people did not survive. 3) The ship Californian was near the Titanic but its radio operator was asleep and did not receive the distress signals, so it did not come to aid the sinking ship.
