The Titanic, one of history's most iconic ships, was a luxury British passenger liner that met a tragic fate on April 15, 1912. Known as the "unsinkable ship," it struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City and sank, leading to the deaths of over 1,500 passengers and crew members.
This catastrophe is remembered for its stark lessons about maritime safety, as well as its portrayal of human stories—acts of heroism, sacrifice, and survival. It sparked major advancements in ship safety protocols, including requiring sufficient lifeboats for all passengers and the establishment of the International Ice Patrol.
The Titanic remains a symbol of both innovation and tragedy. Its story has been immortalized in books, documentaries, and, of course, the famous 1997 film directed by James Cameron.
