The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that embarked on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City on April 10, 1912. Tragically, on April 14-15, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,500 people out of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard. The sinking of the Titanic remains one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history and has captured the public’s imagination for over a century.
