Bringing the RMS Titanic to Life
When coloring these historical pages, you can stick to the real colors of the famous White Star Line. The ship featured a black hull with a white superstructure, while the four large funnels were painted a specific shade called White Star buff, which is a pale yellowish-brown with black tops. The underwater portion of the ship was coated in dark red anti-fouling paint.
For the realistic Titanic illustrations, pay attention to the small details like the yellow stripe dividing the black and white sections of the exterior. The massive triple propellers shown in the drydock pages were made of bronze, while the sprawling boat decks were planked with pale wood. You can use various shades of blue and gray to color the cold North Atlantic ocean waves surrounding the vessel.
Using These Pages in History Lessons
These printables work well alongside history lessons about early 20th-century maritime travel. Teachers can use the dramatic sinking scenes to discuss the events of April 1912, including the role of the ice patrol and the shortage of lifeboats. Older students can research the different passenger classes and the route the ship was taking from Southampton to New York.
The pages showing the submersible exploring the wreck are great for introducing modern deep-sea exploration and how scientists study underwater artifacts.
- Use the cross-section pages to explain the layout of a steam-powered ocean liner.
- Discuss marine biology and rusticle formation using the sunken shipwreck pages.
- Pair the simple designs with a broader unit on transportation and ships for younger students.
Tips for Nighttime and Iceberg Scenes
The tragedy occurred on a moonless, freezing night. To capture this atmosphere, use deep indigos, purples, and blacks for the night sky, leaving white spaces for the bright stars. The icebergs can be shaded with pale blues and cool grays to give them a massive, frozen appearance against the dark water.
For the scenes showing the ship firing distress flares, add bright bursts of yellow and white to contrast sharply with the dark background, highlighting the urgency of the evacuation. The water itself should look cold and turbulent in the sinking pages, using dark navy and teal. In contrast, the pages showing the ship sailing peacefully before the collision can feature calmer, brighter blue waters and a clear daytime sky.
