How the Titanic met with Disaster on her Maiden Voyage, April 20, 1912. Creator: Unknown
How the Titanic met with Disaster on her Maiden Voyage, April 20, 1912. Map of the North Atlantic Ocean, with portraits of William Pirrie, chairman of Harland and Wolff who built the Titanic but missed sailing due to illness; the captain, Edward Smith, who went down with the ship; illustrations of the Titanic hitting the iceberg, and the ships that picked up her distress signals. The White Star Line ship RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in thick fog off Newfoundland on 14 April 1912. She was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, and claimed by Pirrie to be unsinkable. In the collision, five of her watertight compartments were compromised and she sank. Out of the 2228 people on board, only 705 survived. A major cause of the loss of life was the insufficient number of lifeboats she carried.
