The famous ship that sank after hitting an iceberg in 1912 is the RMS Titanic. The Titanic was deemed “unsinkable” and was one of the largest passenger liners of its time. Its maiden voyage began in April 1912, but disaster struck on the night of April 14 when it collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean. Despite its safety measures, the ship sank within hours, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,500 people. The tragedy led to significant changes in maritime regulations regarding safety, lifeboat requirements, and iceberg monitoring to improve passenger safety on sea voyages.
