The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage on April 15, 1912. The ship, deemed "unsinkable," struck an iceberg during its journey from Southampton to New York City. Over 1,500 passengers and crew lost their lives, marking one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history. The tragedy led to significant changes in maritime regulations, including lifeboat requirements and improved safety measures for ships. This event remains a stark reminder of the limits of human innovation and the importance of preparedness in the face of unforeseen dangers.
