How do I replace the "to be"/"be" verbs with strong verbs in the following paragraph? The British ocean liner Titanic was a large ship that thought to be unsinkable. The Titanic made its first in 1912. It was scheduled to sail from England to New York The ship was about 1,600 miles from New York when it collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic. This collision caused a gash 300 feet long in the ship's hull. It took two hours and forty minutes for the Titanic to sink. The worst part was that there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. Tragically, about 1,400 people died that night. Due to many lives lost, the sinking of the Titanic is considered to be the deadliest peacetime, maritime disaster in modern history. The Titanic has undoubtedly become one of the most famous ships in history. Their memory is kept alive by numerous books, folk songs, movies, exhibits, and memorials.

Greetings, You can change your verb "to be" with "to have been": Your's: The British ocean liner Titanic was a large ship that thought to be unsinkable. Revised: The British ocean liner Titanic was a large ship that WAS thought to HAVE BEEN unsinkable. (the capitalized letters show my revision). By adding "was" and "have been", you are making your starting sentence strong and concsice, without losing any vital information!!
