S.S. Titanic Foundered April 15 1912 Real Photo Postcard
The R.M.S. Titanic, launched in 1911 and operated by the White Star Line, was the largest ship afloat at the time of its completion. Designed for luxurious transatlantic voyages between Southampton and New York City, it represented the pinnacle of early 20th-century naval architecture and opulence, featuring advanced engineering and lavish interiors for its time.
On its maiden voyage, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on April 14, 1912, sinking in the early hours of April 15, 1912. This catastrophic event resulted in the loss of over 1,500 lives and had profound implications for maritime safety, leading to the establishment of the International Ice Patrol and mandating sufficient lifeboat capacity for all passengers and crew on future voyages.
