April 1912<br />

The Titanic Sinks<br />

The world-famous luxury steamship,<br />

Titanic, met its catastrophic end in<br />

the icy waters off Newfoundland in<br />

1912. Carrying 2,224 people on<br />

board, the ship sank at 2.27am after<br />

striking an iceberg just before<br />

midnight. More than 1,500 lives were<br />

lost while 700 were rescued by the<br />

liner Carpathia which arrived about<br />

two hours after Titanic submerged.<br />

In the decades since her demise,<br />

Titanic has been the source of<br />

inspiration for countless books and<br />

several notable films such as ‘Titanic’<br />

and continued to make headlines<br />

till the present days.<br />
