- 1. The Titanic, officially known as RMS Titanic, was a British passenger liner that famously sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City in April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean. At the time, it was the largest and most luxurious ship ever built, boasting advanced safety features, opulent interiors, and accommodations for over 2,200 passengers and crew members. Designed by the White Star Line and constructed in Belfast, the Titanic was hailed as 'unsinkable' due to its state-of-the-art safety mechanisms, which included watertight compartments and electronically operated watertight doors. However, the disaster revealed the shortcomings of these features and the ship's insufficient number of lifeboats, resulting in the tragic loss of over 1,500 lives. The sinking of the Titanic not only sparked widespread public mourning and outrage but also led to significant changes in maritime safety regulations, establishing new protocols for lifeboat requirements and iceberg detection. The story of the Titanic has since captured the public's imagination, inspiring countless books, movies, and documentaries that explore the ship's grandeur, the human stories of those aboard, and the enduring lessons learned from one of history's most infamous maritime disasters.
