The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg.
It was the largest and most luxurious ship of its time, measuring about 882 feet long and carrying over 2,200 passengers and crew.
The ship had advanced amenities, including a swimming pool, gymnasium, libraries, and a first-class dining room.
Despite being equipped with watertight compartments, the impact of the iceberg caused the ship to flood and ultimately sink within a few hours.
The sinking of the Titanic resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
The ship's tragic fate led to significant changes in maritime safety regulations, including the requirement of lifeboats for all passengers.
The wreck of the Titanic was discovered in 1985 at a depth of about 12,500 feet and has since been a subject of fascination and exploration.
Numerous books, documentaries, and films have been made about the Titanic, including James Cameron's 1997 film, which became a worldwide phenomenon.
The story of the Titanic has captivated people's imagination for over a century, symbolizing both the grandeur of human achievement and the fragility of life.
Today, artifacts from the Titanic are exhibited in museums around the world, allowing visitors to learn about the ship's history and the lives affected by its tragic sinking.
