The Unsinkable Ship
Titanic Virtual Field Trip

Set sail with your students on an EPIC Titanic Virtual Field Trip experience, discovering facts, information, and details about the RMS Titanic. The sinking of the Titanic is interesting to so many, even over 100 years after the tragedy. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, into freezing water in the Atlantic Ocean, where the remains of the ship still lie. Artifacts, pictures, videos, and webcam footage are now available, so we can see the Titanic in real-time. This makes for exciting Titanic interactive activities.

It could just be because I'm an 80s baby, but I loved the Titanic movie when I was younger. I mean, the love story of Rose and Jack is definitely one to remember. And that blue necklace, who could forget that? Watching that movie sparked my interest in the Titanic. In my years of teaching, I have found that most of my students are just as curious about the Titanic and traveling under the sea to see and learn more. Creating these Titanic activities for students was so much fun for me, and I learn cool facts and information.

Allow students to become a visitor on the famous RMS Titanic. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will be one your students will always remember. Visiting the location via webcam and seeing actual footage of the Titanic is so cool. Bring one of the most memorable, modern-day events in history to life for students!

You will check out artifacts and view webcam footage of the Titanic, roughly 12,600 feet underwater in the Atlantic Ocean. Also included is information about the passengers who experienced this beautiful ship and about the tragic night of the sinking. This is so cool, and I bet your students will too!

Titanic Virtual Field Trip Experience

Titanic Virtual Field Trip is for everyone! Whether you are searching for a fun Friday activity or a standards-based activity, this one is for you! You will see so much is jammed packed into this ready-to-go resource.

I had so much fun creating this resource! I have always been fascinated by the Titanic, and while designing this virtual field trip, I learned so much more about the night of the sinking and the stories of the passengers on board. For example, I discovered how the ship’s advanced safety features were considered state-of-the-art at the time, and how the split between first-, second-, and third-class accommodations reflected the social structure of the era. Creating this resource allowed me to bring history to life in a way that I hope will engage and inspire students, spark meaningful discussions, and make the story of the Titanic unforgettable in the classroom.

This resource is valuable for many reasons. First, the Titanic virtual field trip is highly engaging, with videos, facts, and activities that will capture your students’ attention. Second, it’s a great way to incorporate social-emotional learning by asking students to imagine the experiences and emotions of passengers on board. For example, you can ask students how it might have felt to be a first-class or third-class passenger, or what emotions they think passengers felt as the ship sank into the freezing Atlantic Ocean. You can also have students reflect on the complicated feelings of those who made it onto lifeboats—did they feel relief, guilt, or a mix of both?

This resource is perfect for encouraging historical empathy and meaningful classroom discussions. Teachers can use it to spark writing assignments, small-group conversations, or whole-class reflections, helping students develop critical thinking, communication, and empathy skills.
