Titanic Remembrance Day
"And as the smart ship grew
In stature, grace, and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too."
~ The Convergence of the Twain (Lines on the loss of the Titanic), Thomas Hardy, 1912
The RMS Titanic, which disastrously sunk this day in 1912 after a collision with an iceberg, was one of three massive luxury ocean liners (the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Britannic) built by The White Star Line to be the most luxurious of liners afloat. Passengers could enjoy the swimming pool, squash and tennis courts, a gymnasium, sunrooms, fine dining rooms, a Parisian boulevard, and even a Turkish bath! In 1912, an unusual peak number of icebergs for the year was recorded in April, nearly two and a half times as many as in an average year. On April 14, 1912, the Titanic received several wireless messages from other ships warning of ice along their routes, but these never reached the Titanic's captain. This tartan was supposedly reconstructed from a fragment and photo of a deck chair on the doomed SS Titanic. 🚢
The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 15 April 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK, to New York City, US.
The sinking resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 passengers and crew, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. The largest ship afloat at the time it entered service, the Titanic was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, with Thomas Andrews as her naval architect. Andrews was among those who died in the sinking. On her maiden voyage, she carried 2,224 passengers and crew.
