Titanic Sinks: 1,500 Perish in the North Atlantic
The RMS Titanic broke apart and sank in the freezing North Atlantic, killing 1,517 of its 2,227 passengers and crew in the deadliest peacetime maritime disaster of its era. Only 710 survivors were pulled from lifeboats, many half-empty because crew had launched them before they were full, compounding a catastrophe born of hubris.
