The Sinking of the Titanic (composition)

The sinking of the Titanic occurred on April 15, 1912, after the ship struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. Considered "unsinkable," the Titanic lacked enough lifeboats for all passengers. The collision caused the ship’s hull to be breached, leading to flooding. Despite desperate attempts to save those onboard, over 1,500 people died, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters. The tragedy highlighted flaws in maritime safety regulations, leading to significant changes in safety practices and the establishment of the International Ice Patrol to monitor iceberg dangers in the North Atlantic.
