Titanic, Shipwreck in the North Atlantic Ocean
The Titanic was a British passenger liner of the White Star Line, considered one of the largest ships of its time. It had four funnels, measured about 269 meters in length and 28 meters in width, with decks and cabins designed for approximately 2,200 passengers and a crew of around 900.
The ship sank in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The disaster triggered worldwide reforms in maritime safety and is considered one of the greatest shipping catastrophes in history.
The ship represented British engineering achievement and the dreams of a prosperous era. Today it stands in memory as a reminder of human ambition and the limits of technology.
The wreck lies deep in the Atlantic Ocean and is accessible only through specialized diving expeditions. Visitors can view the history and artifacts of the ship in museums around the world.
The luxurious interior design of the ship stands as a testament to early 20th-century fashion and wealth. Many preserved items reveal the sophistication of the Edwardian era and its obsession with grandeur and prosperity.
