The Brief Introduction of the Titanic

The RMS Titanic, often simply referred to as the Titanic, was an Olympic-class passenger liner that was operated by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. She was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners—the first being the RMS Olympic and the third being the HMHS Britannic. The Titanic was designed to be the most luxurious and safest ship of its time, featuring state-of-the-art technology and amenities.

On her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, USA, the Titanic tragically struck an iceberg on April 15, 1912, in the North Atlantic Ocean. This catastrophic event led to the sinking of the ship, resulting in the loss of more than 1,500 lives, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in modern history. Despite its advanced design, the Titanic lacked enough lifeboats for all passengers, contributing significantly to the high number of casualties.

The disaster had a profound impact on maritime safety regulations worldwide, leading to significant changes in maritime law. Today, the Titanic remains a symbol of both human ambition and the dangers of overconfidence in technological advancements.
