| English to Tagalog: A Simple Article about the Tragedy of Titanic | |
Source text - English
The Titanic had sixteen lifeboats and four collapsible boats which could carry just over half the number of people on board her maiden voyage and only a third of the Titanic’s total capacity. Regulations for the number of lifeboats required were based on outdated British Board of Trade regulations written in 1894 for ships a quarter of the Titanic’s size, and had never been revised. Under these requirements, the Titanic was only obliged to carry enough lifeboats to seat 962 people. At design meetings in 1910, the shipyard’s managing director, Alexander Carlisle, had proposed that forty eight lifeboats be installed on the Titanic, but the idea had been quickly rejected as too expensive. | Translation - Tagalog
Ang barkong Titanic at may labing-anim na lifeboats at apat na collapsible boats na may kakayahang magpasakay ng kalahating porsiyento ng mga pasahero sa maiden voyage na ikatlong bahagi lang ng kabuuang pasahero ng Titanic. Nakasaad sa makalumang regulasyon ng British Board of Trade na isinulat noong 1894 na ang pagpapatayo ng mga lifeboats ay sasakop lamang sa ikaapat na bahagi ng laki ng Titanic. Dapat ay magpapatayo si Alexander Carlisle, isang direktor ng barko, ng apatnapu't walong lifeboats ngunit, hindi ito naaprubhan dahil 'mahal' daw ang mga ito. |
