The 1912 sinking of the Titanic is a significant part of history because of the fact that it was supposed to be the unsinkable ship yet it did and claimed the lives of 1517 people. The mistakes made by it's builders to not add the correct amount of lifeboats and of the officers to not fill the available ones to capacity were major life lessons learned for future ocean liners.
Because it was meant to be the largest ship in the world and bigger than stuff like towers and giant statue, but it was meant to be unsinkable , by the time they saw the iceberg it was too late and ship was so big it'd take hours to turn so the unsinkable ship sunk and that's why titanic is as remembered as it is
This seems like a rhetorical question, but here I go. The Titanic was a large ship, an immense ship, larger than history had ever seen. It had watertight compartments, and was deemed "unsinkable". The only problem was, it was sinkable, it was just very hard to sink. Many people think The Titanic sunk on its maiden voyage. The truth is, it made one complete voyage before sinking. The Titanic left from England, then stopped in France, on its way to New York City. Even the third-class rooms were nice. It's surprising they could even afford those rooms; they cost $900 in today's money. And the food was better than what they had at home. But, it sank. It's amazing a ship that was so hard to sink could go under on one of her very first voyages. Some naval laws were also improved after Titanic sank. The number of lifeboats required per ship is now enough to save all aboard, including the crew. There must also be at least one crew member awake to receive all iceberg warnings, no matter the season. And, a major change that occured after the Titanic incident was the steady absolving of the strict class system. While the classes were still around, the strict rules regarding their separation were slowly melting away. Lastly, there is also now the North Atlantic Patrol, which patrols all large icebergs, large enough to strike down a ship along, and their locations on the main routes between America and Europe.
Because it was proclaimed to be unsinkable by its designers (before the event, not afterwards!)
