Explanation:
The Titanic, deemed "unsinkable," tragically sank on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The ship's design included watertight compartments, but the iceberg caused extensive damage, leading to flooding. With over 2,200 passengers and crew onboard, insufficient lifeboats contributed to a devastating loss of life, with more than 1,500 fatalities. The disaster prompted major changes in maritime safety regulations, including lifeboat requirements and international ice patrols. The Titanic remains a powerful symbol of human ambition, hubris, and the need for preparedness.
