Titanic Tales

Titanic Tales - the Titanic and the Iceberg.

The Titanic sank on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York via Cobh in Ireland on 15 April 1912 with the loss of 1,522 lives. She never made it. The White Star Line were the owners of The Titanic.
In the middle of the night The Titanic struck an iceberg and eventually sank.
The RMS Titanic had been advertised as unsinkable and accordingly had insufficient lifeboats aboard.
A conspiracy theory alledges that it was not in fact the Titanic that sank but it's sister ship RMS Olympic which had many teething problems. A number of very influential people unexpectedly cancelled their reservations at the last moment.

A series of photographs of the Titanic was taken by Father Browne who left the ship at Cobh before the fateful voyage. A link to a book of these is given below.

Many of the people on board were Irish emigrants who were due to sail on another ship that was cancelled.
They boarded the Titanic at Queenstown (Cobh near Cork) and many of them perished.

There is an excellent museum of the Titanic on the waterfront in Cobh.

The Titanic Disaster

'RMS Titanic''' was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. On the night of 14 April 1912, during her maiden voyage, Titanic struck an iceberg, and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. At the time of her launching in 1912, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world.

The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, ranking it as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most infamous. The Titanic used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and was popularly believed to be ?unsinkable? - indeed, in a 1910 White Star Line brochure advertising the Titanic, it was claimed that she was "designed to be unsinkable". It was a great shock to many that despite the advanced technology and experienced crew, the Titanic still sank with a great loss of life. The media frenzy about Titanics famous victims, the legends about what happened on board the ship, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck in 1985 by a team led by Robert Ballard have made Titanic persistently famous in the years since.
