The Titanic was the largest and most luxurious passenger ship in the world at the time of its sinking. It was built by the White Star Line, and was on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. The ship was carrying over 2,200 passengers and crew, from all walks of life.

On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 pm. The iceberg tore a large hole in the ship's hull, and the Titanic began to sink rapidly.
