The Titanic
In 1912, a collision with an iceberg sent Titanic to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Titanic was the largest moveable object in history: almost 900 feet long, and holding over two thousand passengers. But just four days into its maiden voyage, a collision with an iceberg was enough to send her to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. So what made the famously 鈥榰nsinkable鈥� ship anything but? Who was responsible for so many deaths? And what was it like to witness the disaster first hand?
This is a Short History of The Titanic
