In April of 1912, the Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, to New York City. It is one of history’s deadliest disasters at sea. Unfortunately, the Titanic, never reached its destination. Built by Harland and Wolf to be “unsinkable”, the Titanic was 883 feet long, 92 feet wide, 175 feet high, and cost $7.5 million.

Over 1,500 people drowned in this unfortunate event. Ever since the sinking, numerous books and remarkable films have been made, telling the story of the ship and its passengers. The wreck of the ship was found in 1985 by the coast of Newfoundland, in the North Atlantic Ocean.
