The Titanic - one of the most up-to-date luxury liners of her time - achieved fame due to the tragic events that overtook her during her maiden voyage on 14th April 1912. The "Queen of the Sea" was to carry 1,316 passengers from Southampton to New York for the White Star Line. During the night at about 23.40 hours, at latitude 41.54 degrees north and longitude 50.24 degrees west in the Atlantic, the British steamship hit an iceberg that tore a 100 m gash in her starboard side. When the Titanic sank at about 0.20 hours on 15th April 1,503 of the 2,206 people on board lost their lives. The 46,329 BRT vessel had a length of 267 m and a displacement of 66,000 tons. With her 9 decks and in particular her 15 watertight bulkheads, the ship was considered to be unsinkable. The Titanic steams on in the popular imagination, not least thanks to the James Cameron film that won 11 Oscars. Decades after she went down the passenger liner has lost none of her attraction. When the wreck was discovered in 1985, one question was finally answered: the ship had in fact broken in two. At the same time, however, the mystique surrounding the Titanic continued to grow, as mini-submarines brought back to the surface pieces of that once so elegant ocean-going world.
