A blog dedicated to the R.M.S. Titanic, one of the greatest ocean liners. She sunk on her maiden voyage in 1912, becoming one of the most famous tragedies.

“My mother had a premonition from the very word ‘GO.’ She knew there was something to be afraid of and the only thing that she felt strongly about was that to say a ship was unsinkable was flying in the face of God. Those were her words.”

Eva Hart, a passenger on the RMS Titanic

Shortly after noon on May 31, 1911, the RMS Titanic was launched in Belfast. Around 100,000 people turned out for the occasion, including J. Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirrie. She was then towed to be fitted out, and construction continued.

This image led to the discovery of the Titanic’s wreck. Robert D. Ballard and his team first sighted this boiler on Sept. 1, 1985, and were soon able to find the rest of the debris field that led them to the Titanic wreck.

In 1912 the RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic, killing more than 1,500 people, and becoming the most famous maritime accident in the 20th century. But unknown to many, Titanic’s sister ship met a similar fate as well. The HMHS Britannic was a hospital ship owned by the White Star Line and was active from the years 1914-1916. On November 21, 1916, she was carrying 1,065 people on board when the hull struck an underwater mine. Britannic leaned drastically to the starboard (right) side, and within 55 minutes was completely underwater. Unlike her famous sister Titanic, the Britannic did not break in half. In total 30 people were killed during the sinking. The wreck was discovered off the coast of Greece in 1975 and remains in wonderful diving condition.

If you look in your dictionary you will find: Titans - A race of people vainly striving to overcome the forces of nature. Could anything be more unfortunate than such a name, anything more significant?
