Titanic: Unsinkable Facts

The Titanic, a name synonymous with tragedy and hubris, was once deemed

'unsinkable'. It was the largest ship afloat, an engineering marvel stretching over 882

feet. Despite its size, the Titanic carried only enough lifeboats for about a

third of its capacity. After striking an iceberg, it took just

over two and a half hours for it to sink. The wreck lay

undiscovered for over 70 years, found only in 1985 by Robert Ballard.

The band famously played on until the very end, a testament to incredible courage.
