- 1. The story of the Titanic is one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history, revolving around the ill-fated maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, a British passenger liner that was considered the largest and most luxurious ship of its time. Built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, the Titanic set sail from Southampton on April 10, 1912, en route to New York City, boasting advanced safety features and opulent accommodations that attracted the wealthiest of passengers. However, on the evening of April 14, during a moonlit night in the North Atlantic, the ship struck an iceberg, leading to unimaginable chaos and tragedy. Over 1,500 people perished due to a combination of insufficient lifeboats, the ship's rapid sinking, and the cold waters of the Atlantic. The disaster sparked public outcry and led to significant changes in maritime laws and safety regulations. The legacy of the Titanic endures through films, literature, and deep-sea exploration, symbolizing human ambition in the face of nature's unpredictability, and serving as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life at sea.
