Nearly a century after the RMS Titanic sank 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland on its maiden voyage, it remains the best-known disaster at sea.
Shortly after midnight on April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg on its way to New York City from Southhampton, England. Less than three hours later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, the Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, killing more than 1,500 people.
The great ship was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world at the time, and was considered unsinkable. Many of those who died in the disaster were from the most prominent families in Europe and America. Countless books, movies and theories about the sinking of the Titanic have cemented its legend.
