The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912. It was designed to be the largest and most luxurious ship of its time, featuring advanced safety features and opulent accommodations. The ship struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean, leading to the loss of over 1,500 lives.
The tragedy of the Titanic highlighted the need for improved maritime safety regulations. In response, international conventions were established to enhance lifeboat requirements and improve communication protocols at sea. The disaster remains one of the most infamous maritime incidents in history.
