Additional Information
The sinking of the Titanic in the Northern Atlantic Ocean in 1912 on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City remains one of the most tragic sinking of a peacetime vessel in modern history. The RMS Titanic was the largest ship on the water at the time and was considered a feat of contemporary engineering, built by the renowned Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. It was the epitome of modern luxury and featured designer cabins, and transported some of the wealthiest people in the world at the time.
Captain Edward Smith and the chief naval architect Thomas Andrews both perished in the disaster after the ship struck an iceberg. The vessel was nearly 900 feet long and almost 100 feet wide and was considered the vanguard of marine engineering. When the crew spotted an iceberg directly in the ship's trajectory, it was too late to avoid it completely, and the starboard side of the vessel was dented, causing the seam to buckle and allow water to enter the hull. The Titanic began sinking bow first and took nearly three hours to sink entirely, with over 1100 passengers evacuated into lifeboats to be transported to rescue ships in the vicinity.
This image from the front page of The World newspaper in 1912 is one of the most iconic pictures of the tragedy as news broke around the world that the great ship had sunk. This is a true piece of modern history with a distinct aesthetic.
