The most famous ship in history is the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic. At the time, she was the largest moving object made by the hand of man in all history. But just four days into her maiden voyage, the Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40pm, April 14th 1912. The Titanic only had enough lifeboats for just 1,234 of her 2,228 passengers and crew. The ship foundered two hours and forty minutes later at 2:20am (April 15th, 1912). By the light of dawn, 1,523 men women and children had perished in the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean leaving just 705 survivors.
