Thank you :D! BIG help :)! "In 1861, a shipyard company called Harland & Wolff was founded", something like that I think sounds like a good start :).

Daniel Allen Butler's "UNSINKABLE" inspired me to write my own story :), here's the Prologue from Daniel Allen Butler's "UNSINKALBE"

PROLOGUE

IT WAS A FORCE OF NATURE. FIVE THOUSAND YEARS IT HAD WAITED. IT WAS
Born in the midst of that vast sheet of ice that one day men would call the
Greenland Glacier, when the Celts were migrating across Europe, the Babylo-
nians were building their first cities in Mesopotamia, and tribes of Picts barely
out of the Stone Age were populating Britain and Ireland. In three hundred
years it had achieved its full stature and begun its slow migration to the arm
of the Atlantic Ocean that would become known as the Labrador Sea. It was
halfway there when the first Norse adventurers, setting out in their longboats,
encountered its siblings. Huge and impregnable they seemed, like vast for-
tresses of the gods Odin and Thor. The Norsemen called them “mountains of
ice”—icebergs.
Undisturbed by human affairs, the iceberg continued its slow procession
to the sea, while empires were being created and plagues were sweeping
across the entire continents. Neither malevolent nor benevolent, it had no way
of knowing that a ten-second encounter with another moving object would
make it the most notorious iceberg in all the ages of the world.


Sometime in the early weeks of 1912, with a series of deafening cracks,
it broke off from its parent glacier and thundered into the cold waters of the Labrador Sea, and began its slow drift southward toward the North Atlantic…

I'm a swed ;). I guess no one who wants to read my story understands Swedish :D, so English sounds good :). My Word 2007 has thousands of fonts :o: Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial Black etc... so which font shall I use :)?
