The Titanic sank on her way from Southampton, England, to New York after striking an iceberg April 14, 1912. She took more than 1,500 of her approximately 2,200 passengers and crew to their death. Great Wealth Was Aboard. She was believed to be ''unsinkable'' because of her double bottom and reinforced bulkheads.
