TITANIC

    So April 15th 1912 is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the iconic ill fated cruise liner the RMS TITANIC. The Titanic began her maiden voyage on April 10th 1912 it's port of registry was Liverpool, it set sail from Southampton it's destination New York City, it was owned by White Star Line and it's sister ships were the Olympic and the Britannic. The Olympic never made it out to sea whereas the Britannic (which set sail 2 years later in 1915) did make it out to sea. Unfortunately world war one was taking place when the Britannic set sail the world was at war so the Britannic was used as a hospital ship it was unfortunate because the Britannic sank when it hit a mine on 23rd of November 1916. The Titanic sank because it hit an iceberg. Before it sank the Titanic split into two the bow of the ship sank first landing on the sea bed almost intact minutes later the stern of the ship sank landing about a third of a mile away from the bow.
