The Titanic was a British passenger liner that famously sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, during its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City. The ship was built by the White Star Line and was considered a marvel of engineering and luxury at the time.

The Titanic was the largest ship of its time, measuring about 882 feet (269 meters) in length. It was touted as "unsinkable" due to its advanced design and safety features, including watertight compartments that were meant to keep the ship afloat even if multiple compartments were flooded.

On April 10, 1912, the Titanic departed Southampton with over 2,200 passengers and crew on board. Among the passengers were some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as immigrants seeking a new life in America. 

The ship made stops in Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland, to pick up additional passengers before heading towards New York. Four days into the voyage, on the night of April 14, the Titanic struck an iceberg. 

The ship's lookout had spotted the iceberg ahead and alerted the bridge, but it was too late to avoid a collision. The iceberg scraped along the starboard side of the ship, causing severe damage to the hull. As the water began to flood the compartments, it became evident that the Titanic was in serious trouble. 

The ship's inadequate number of lifeboats became a significant issue, as there were only enough to accommodate about half of the people on board. This led to a chaotic and frantic evacuation process, with women and children given priority to board the lifeboats. Despite distress signals being sent out, help did not arrive in time to save everyone. 

In the early hours of April 15, the Titanic's stern rose into the air as the ship broke apart and sank beneath the icy waters. More than 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime tragedies in history. 

The sinking of the Titanic had a profound impact on maritime safety regulations and led to significant changes in ship design and emergency procedures. It also captured the public's imagination and has been the subject of numerous books, films, and documentaries over the years, immortalizing the tragedy and the stories of the people who were on board.
