SS Titanic

The SS Titanic was a large passenger ship built in the early 20th century, famous for its supposed "unsinkable" design. On its maiden voyage in 1912, it struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, causing it to flood and sink within a few hours. Over 1,500 of the estimated 2,200 passengers and crew lost their lives. The disaster highlighted flaws in ship safety practices, leading to improved maritime regulations. Today, the Titanic remains a symbol of tragedy and technological hubris, and its wreck lies on the ocean floor, explored by marine archaeologists.
