The Titanic - On April 10, 1912, the legendary maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic began from Southampton. The luxurious and technically most advanced ship of its time collided with an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912 and sank within two hours and 40 minutes on April 15. The insufficient number of lifeboats and the water temperature of 28°F (-2°C) recorded at the time of the sinking made survival impossible for many passengers. Almost 1,500 people lost their lives that night. Since then, the tragic and unbelievable events of that fateful night have touched and moved humanity.
