History of the Titanic ship

On 10 April 1912, the world's largest and most luxurious ocean liner, the Titanic, set sail on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.

It took the lives of 1,495 people and gave rise to the greatest legend in the history of maritime navigation. The Titanic did not have enough lifeboats for all passengers - only for about 1,200 people, but there were about 2,223 on board.

In the early morning of 15 April 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland. The sinking of the Titanic was the largest peacetime shipwreck in the history of maritime navigation. 1,518 people died. Only 711 out of 2,223 people survived.

Myths and legends have been created around the fatal shipwreck, making the Titanic probably the most famous ship in history.

For many years, historians, treasure hunters, oceanographers and businessmen searched for the wreck. Finally, the remains of the ship were discovered on 1 September 1985 by Robert Ballard during a secret mission spearhead by the United States Navy. The wreck of the Titanic was located 3,784 metres deep, about 800 km off the coast of Canada.

The lights of the Titanic went out minutes before it disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean along with the dream of reaching New York.
