Fordville North Dakota Titanic Sinking Iceberg 1912 Real Photo Postcard

The maiden voyage and subsequent sinking of the RMS Titanic in April 1912 remains one of maritime history's most iconic and tragic events. Touted as an unsinkable luxury liner by the White Star Line, the ship struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean on the night of April 14-15, leading to its catastrophic demise. The disaster resulted in the loss of over 1,500 lives due to a critical shortage of lifeboats and the frigid conditions of the ocean.
