RMS Titanic

The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City in April 1912 after hitting an iceberg. At the time, it was one of the largest and most luxurious ships ever built, often described as "unsinkable." The disaster resulted in the deaths of over 1,500 people, making it one of the deadliest maritime tragedies in history. The sinking led to significant changes in maritime safety regulations, including improved lifeboat provisions and the establishment of the International Ice Patrol to monitor iceberg dangers. The Titanic remains a symbol of human ambition and failure.
