The Titanic Proves Its Worth. Share. April 15 will mark the 100 year anniversary of the tragic sinking of the Titanic after it struck an iceberg and sank on its ill-fated journey in 1912. More than 1,500 lives were lost, which amounted to over two thirds of the 2,228 on board at the time of the tragedy.
