RMS Titanic
The RMS Titanic was a British luxury liner and mail shipping service that launched its maiden voyage from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. The ship struck an iceberg on the evening of April 14th, 1912 and sunk in the early hours of April 15th. More than 2200 passengers were on board the ship and 1500 of them were lost in the sinking, making the sinking of the Titanic the deadliest maritime disaster at the time. The wreck was thought lost until 1985 when sonar was used to locate the wreck on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean more than two miles below the surface. In 1987 crews returned to the site and began a salvage operation of artifacts from the ship.
