The RMS Titanic was a passenger ship that was run by the British White Star Line. At the time, the Titanic was considered the largest ship of its kind and infamously given the nickname "Unsinkable." With an estimated 2,200 people on board, it was set to make its first maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. However, on April 15th, 1912, the ship struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean, causing the ship to sink. Due to the lack of enough lifeboats, more than 1,500 lives were lost in the sinking of the ship, making it the worst ocean liner disaster at the time.
