The RMS Titanic was the product of competition between shipping lines at the beginning of the 20th century. The result was the largest ship afloat that was also marketed as being supposedly unsinkable. It carried some of the wealthiest people in the world as well as thousands of other passengers from all around Europe to the United States. Yet, unfortunately, on a fateful night over 100 years ago, the state-of-the-art luxury liner struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage and sank, killing thousands of the passengers in the process. Its story has made it one of the most popular ships in history, but how much you really know about the Titanic?
