RMS Titanic

Titanic was one of the most famous ships in history, although she sank on her maiden voyage. Being one of the most luxurious liners of the time, she tried to set the benchmark for other ships. In an effort to break the speed record for crossing the Atlantic ocean, she hit an iceberg on the foggy night of April 14, 1912 and sank several hours later, taking around 1,500 lives.
