It's April 10, 1912, when the RMS Titanic left Southampton harbor to usher in a new era of civil shipping. The steel giant with its exquisite interior fittings looked more like a floating luxury hotel than an ordinary steamer. Her modern watertight bulkheads and advanced pumping system earned the Titanic a reputation for being unsinkable in the public eye. Today we know that this was nothing more than a gigantic fallacy: In the late evening hours of April 14, 1912, the whole pride of the White Star Line collided with an iceberg and sank a few hours later in the freezing cold waters of the Atlantic.
