The RMS Titanic, a British luxury ocean liner, met its tragic fate on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City in 1912. Considered unsinkable, the ship struck an iceberg on April 14 and sank early the next morning. The disaster resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 passengers and crew, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history. Despite extensive safety features and a shortage of lifeboats, the Titanic's sinking raised questions about maritime safety regulations and has captivated the public imagination for over a century. How could such a grand and supposedly invincible vessel meet such a catastrophic end? #titanic #history #titanichistory
