1912 sinking

The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 occurred when the massive ship struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage across the North Atlantic. The collision caused the hull to rupture, flooding multiple compartments and compromising the ship’s stability. Despite its advanced design, the Titanic lacked enough lifeboats for all passengers, leading to a tragic loss of over 1,500 lives. The disaster highlighted issues in maritime safety, prompting changes in regulations and ship design to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
