Product description : TITANIC

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic, the largest and most luxurious transatlantic liner in the world, undertook its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York.

An event which caused the death of 1,495 people, and gave rise to the greatest legend in the history of maritime navigation. The Titanic only had lifeboats for 1,200 passengers, yet there were nearly 2,223 on board.

In the early morning of April 15, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland. The sinking of the Titanic is the most important in the history of maritime navigation in peacetime. 1518 people lost their lives. Only 711 of the 2,223 people survived.

Myths and legends surrounding the fatal sinking arose, making the Titanic probably the most famous ship in the world.

For many years, historians, treasure hunters, oceanographers and entrepreneurs have searched for traces of the shipwreck. Finally, the remains of the boat were discovered on September 1, 1985 by Robert Ballard during a secret mission on behalf of the United States Army. The wreck of the Titanic was located at a depth of 3784 meters, some 800 km from the coast of Canada.

The lights of the Titanic went out a few minutes before its disappearance in the Atlantic Ocean, and with it the dreams of joining New York.
