The Sinking of RMS Titanic
Today I am reminded of that
unforgettable tragedy at sea more than a hundred years ago -The sinking
of the RMS Titanic which
occurred on the night of 14 April through to the morning of 15 April
1912 when she sank in the north Atlantic
Ocean, four days into the ship's maiden
voyage from Southampton to New
York City. The largest passenger liner in
service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224 people on
board when she struck an iceberg at around 23:40 (ship's time) on Sunday, 14 April 1912. Her
sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April
resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the
deadliest peacetime
maritime disasters in history.
