Late on April 14th, 1912, the "unsinkable" HMS Titanic, carrying more than 2,200 souls on its maiden voyage, struck a glancing blow to an iceberg, flooded, and by 0200 the following morning, sank into the calm but freezing waters of the North Atlantic.

Only around 700 souls survived.

It is often hailed as the worst maritime disaster in history, perhaps because it was widely believed to have been avoidable, and despite not being the greatest loss of life in the sinking of a ship at sea.
