Titanic centers on a British passenger liner that struck an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912. The ship, known for being the largest and most luxurious of its time, was on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The Titanic carried over 2,200 passengers and crew, but only about 700 survived. The disaster revealed the lack of lifeboats and inadequate safety measures. The ship's sinking had a profound impact, leading to major changes in maritime laws to improve safety at sea.
