The ship set sail from Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, bound for New York City.Tragically, on the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and began to sink. Despite its size and the belief that it was unsinkable, the ship did not have enough lifeboats to accommodate all the passengers and crew. As a result, more than 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster.The sinking of the Titanic had a profound impact on maritime history and led to significant changes in safety regulations and practices. The tragedy highlighted the need for sufficient lifeboats, improved communication systems, and better coordination during emergencies at sea.The story of the Titanic has captured the public's imagination and has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and films, including the 1997 blockbuster movie "Titanic" directed by James Cameron. The film depicted a fictionalized love story set against the backdrop of the ship's ill-fated voyage, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
