In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ship afloat, the

British built the S.S Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the seas
that it was dubbed “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they
provided only twenty lifeboats and rafts, less than one half the number
needed for 2.227 passengers on board.
Many passengers were abroad the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days
at sea and more than halfway between England and its New York
destination. Because the luxury liner was travelling so fast, it was impossible
to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. Panic increased the number of
casualties as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the
few to broad the lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the
Carpathina, rescured the 705 survivors.

maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of water near the
