The sinking of the Titanic on April 15th, 1912 would go down in history as one of the most horrific, memorable days in the world. The event shocked people across the globe and everyone from all corners of the world was talking about it. It wouldn’t be long before the media would jump on the bandwagon, with stories about the Titanic finding their way on the front page of newspapers around the world for weeks on end.

What made the sinking of the Titanic so extraordinary was that it was the largest passenger ship in the world and was carrying over 2,200 people at the time of the catastrophe. This made it the largest loss of life in maritime history. To make matters worse, the builders seem to have jinxed themselves by claiming that the ship was built so well that it was “unsinkable”. This statement would be proven false in what would become a devastating loss of life that no one could have predicted. The unsinkable ship was sunk on its maiden voyage.
