The report came to the British on May 21,1949.The German battleship Bismarck,the most powerful warship(战舰) in the world,was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean.Her task:to destroy the ships supplies from the United States to war-torn England.
The British had feared such a task.No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower.The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 small guns.She could move at 30 nautical(海上的) miles an hour.She was believed to be unsinkable.
However,the British had to sink her.They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck.On May 24,the Hood found the Bismarck.
It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see.His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies,but to stay away from a fight with British warships.
The battle didn’t last long.The Bismarck’s first torpedo(鱼雷) hit the Hood,which went down taking all but three of her 4,419 men with her.
But in the fight,the Bismarck was slightly damaged.Her commander decided to run for repairs to France,which had at that time been taken by the speed and the heavy fog,they lost sight of her.
For two days,every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck,but with no success.Finally,she was sighted by a plane from the air.The Bismarck was hit.
On the morning of May 27,the last battle was fought.Four British ships fired on the Bismarck,and she was finally sunk.
“I would almost rather see you dead.” Bobert S.Cassatt,a leading banker of Philadelphia,shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist.In the 19th century,playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady,but serious work in art was not.And when the young lady’s family racked among(挤身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social(社会各界的) families,such an idea could not even be considered.
That was how Mary Cassatt,born 1844,began her struggle as an artist.She did not tremble before her father’s anger,she opposed(反对) him with courage and at last made him change his mind.Many Cassatt gave up her social position and all thoughts of a thousand and a family,which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady.In the end,after long years of hard work and perseverance(坚持),she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.
