APRIL 15th
On this day in history in 1912, The Titanic sank.
The Titanic surnamed Unsinkable, the most opulent luxury liner of The White Star line, sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. She was cruising at a steady pace off Newfoundland when she suddenly struck an iceberg. The hold gradually filled with seawater and within three hours the vessel sank. Of the 2,224 passengers on board, 1,513 were drowned as the vessel only had lifeboats for half the passengers.
The event caused a scandal and prompted key upgrading of nautical safety measures chief amongst which were that vessels were obliged to provide a lifeboat place for every person on board. Since the sinking of the Titanic, no shipping line has ever dared to designate any of its ships unsinkable.
In 1985, the wreck of the Titanic was discovered and filmed but little of the once lavish liner remained.

The year was 1912.
The Titanic struck (well grazed technically) an iceberg at
41-43N/49-56W at approximately 14 April, 2345 Local time.
It sank almost exactly two hours later at 15 April 0220 Local time. This was approximately 0020 Eastern Time.
This position was almost 10 miles from her reported position of
41-46N/50-14W. The difference was due to drift, and the fact that the chronometer on the bridge wasn't reset that day.
The US Coast Guard has dropped a wreath at 41-46/50-14 every 15 April since 1913-and will do so this April.

1912. Incidentally, it was built by the shipyard started by an Irish branch of my family--the Harland-Wolfe Shipyards. I believe one of the owners or chief engineers was among the victims.
