Fortunately, we do have contemporary evidence from photos and news articles, as well as from survivors themselves. Likewise, Hollywood’s obsession with the Titanic feeds the falsehoods about the real ship, and James Cameron’s 1997 box office hit Titanic is, unfortunately, the source of “facts” for many interested viewers. After all, it was a highly publicised voyage and was carrying some of society’s richest when it sank in the North Atlantic just after 2 a.m. With such a tragic loss follows rumours and myths, some based on truth and others complete fabrications to add mystery to the sinking. In her time, she was the largest ship to sail the Atlantic, and one of three new luxury White Star Line ships, making the media hype around the ship’s sailing a major topic of the day.
The luxury ocean liner infamously sunk on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City on an icy April night in 1912, resulting in the perishing of more than 1,500 passengers and crew. The sinking of the RMS Titanic was one of the most devastating disasters in modern history.
