Query: In which ocean did the Titanic sink?
RMS<i>Titanic sank in the early morning of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into the ship's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The largest passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224people on board when she struck an iceberg at around 23:40 (ship's time)[lower-alpha 1] on Sunday, 14 April 1912. Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (ship's time; 05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April, resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.
The event, staged to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS "Titanic", was inspired by a letter written by a 10-year-old girl, May McMurray, in 1912 to her father William, a bedroom steward on the Titanic who did not survive the sinking. The letter did not arrive until after the Titanic sailed, and was returned to the sender and is now on display at Liverpool's Maritime Museum.
Three years later, by April 1912, Edward and Edith have married and are spending their honeymoon on a luxurious four funneled ocean liner, which is dramatically revealed by a camera shot on a life preserver on board to be the ill-fated " RMS Titanic". Later scenes make it clear that Edward and Edith both perished in the sinking, although the sinking itself, their deaths, and their families' initial reaction to it are not shown, it is only briefly mentioned in later dialogue.
As in the silent film era, the sinking of the "Titanic" would continue to be a popular disaster with filmmakers and audiences alike. Werner Klingler and Herbert Selpin released the epic film, "Titanic (1943 film)". The film was soon banned in Germany and its director, Selpin, was allegedly executed. The film was a staple for all Titanic films, and scenes became stock footage for the British version. Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck starred in the 1953 20th Century Fox production "Titanic", followed by the highly regarded British film "A Night to Remember" in 1958. The British action-adventure film "The Last Voyage" (1960), while not about the Titanic disaster but a predecessor to "The Poseidon Adventure", starred Robert Stack as a man desperately attempting to save his wife (Dorothy Malone) and child trapped in a sinking ocean liner. The film, concluding with the dramatic sinking of the ship, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
Don Lynch is a historian with the Titanic Historical Society. He co-authored the book "Titanic: An Illustrated History" in 1992 with Ken Marschall and later co-authored "Ghosts of the Abyss". Lynch has an extensive collection of Titanic memorabilia and even more extensive knowledge of the subject, having researched the RMS "Titanic" along with Marschall since the early 1970s. His research includes interviews with survivors of the maritime disaster and dives to the "Titanic" shipwreck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. He has collaborated with several other authors and documentary filmmakers as a consultant and archival material supplier. Lynch has appeared on several television documentaries about the sinking of the "Titanic".
Edith Corse Evans, heir to a hide-tanning and real estate fortune with a West Sayville summer home, was a passenger on the "Titanic". During the sinking of the "Titanic" on April 15, 1912, Edith Corse Evans gave up the last seat on the last lifeboat to save a mother of six children. Evans lost her life after the ocean liner sunk into the Atlantic Ocean, but her efforts saved Caroline Brown from Acton, Massachusetts.
One of the most famous novels associated with the disaster is a book written by Morgan Robertson fourteen years prior to the "Titanic"s maiden voyage, "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan". Published in 1898, the book is noted for its similarities with the actual sinking. It tells the story of a huge ocean liner, the "Titan", which sinks in the North Atlantic on her maiden voyage after colliding with an iceberg. The "Titan" is depicted as only slightly larger than "Titanic", both ships have three propellers and carry 3,000 passengers, both have watertight compartments, both are described as "unsinkable" and both have too few lifeboats "as required by law". The collision is described within the novel's first twenty pages; the rest of the book deals with the aftermath. The similarities between art and life were recognised immediately in 1912 and the book was republished soon after the sinking of "Titanic", with several editions being published since then.
In the 2010 video game "Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors", the main characters were all put onto a sinking ship by a mysterious person named Zero. In their introduction, Zero references the "Titanic"s sinking in the line "On April 14, 1912... the famous ocean liner "Titanic" crashed into an iceberg. After remaining afloat for 2 hours and 40 minutes, it sank beneath the waters of the North Atlantic. I will give you more time. 9 hours is the amount of time you will be given to escape." It is later discovered that the "ship" they are on is a replica of one of "Titanic"s sister ships, the Gigantic. In real life, "Gigantic" was rumored to have been the original name of the HMHS "Britannic", which was one of the "Titanic"s sister ships.
There are three additional game modes planned to be included in the game. The most prominent is "Tour Mode", which will allow the player to explore both the ship and the city of Southampton at their leisure without the restrictions of Story Mode. The next mode, "Simulator Mode", will give the player the opportunity to sail the "Titanic" and possibly other ships on the open ocean, such as "Titanic’s" sister ships RMS "Olympic" and HMHS "Britannic". The last game mode planned is "Multiplayer Mode" which is still in the concept stage. It will include two sub-modes: Sinking Mode and Voyage Mode. The latter will allow players to experience the "Titanic" together. Deck games and passenger services will also be available.
The RMS "Titanic" has been commemorated in a wide variety of ways in the century after she sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912. As D. Brian Anderson has put it, the sinking of "Titanic" has "become a part of our mythology, firmly entrenched in the collective consciousness, and the stories will continue to be retold not because they need to be retold, but because we need to tell them."
Ice and his gang of sharks decide to let an iceberg sink the "Titanic". They fool an octopus named Tentacles into heaving an iceberg to the surface of the ocean by concealing the plan in the form of a bet to see who can throw ice the farthest. Onboard the "Titanic", the Duke is forced to sign the whaling concession at gunpoint, after which Maltravers and his entourage flee the ship in a lifeboat. 
Titanic is a four-part television miniseries period drama written by Julian Fellowes based on the sinking of the RMS "Titanic", a passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom, to New York City, United States.
The wreck of "Titanic" was discovered in 1985 (more than 70 years after the disaster), during a US military mission and remains on the seabed. The ship was split in two and is gradually disintegrating at a depth of . Thousands of artefacts have been recovered and displayed at museums around the world. "Titanic" has become one of the most famous ships in history; her memory is kept alive by numerous works of popular culture, including books, folk songs, films, exhibits, and memorials. "Titanic" is the second largest ocean liner wreck in the world, only beaten by her sister , the largest ever sunk, although she holds the record as the largest sunk while actually in service as a liner due to "Britannic" being used as a hospital ship at the time of her sinking. The final survivor of the sinking, Millvina Dean, aged two months at the time, died in 2009 at the age of 97.
Some ocean liners are infamous today because of their sinking with great loss of lives. In 1873, struck an underwater rock and sank off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, killing at least 535 people. In 1912, the sinking of the RMS "Titanic", which took approximately 1,500 lives, highlighted the overconfidence of the shipping companies in their ships, such as the failure to put enough lifeboats on board. Safety measures at sea were reexamined following the incident. Two years later, in 1914, sank in the Saint Lawrence River after colliding with another ship. 1,012 people died.
Construction of "Olympic" started in December 1908 and "Titanic" in March 1909. The two ships were built side by side. The construction of "Britannic" began in 1911 after the commissioning of "Olympic" and "Titanic" launch. Following the sinking of "Titanic", the two remaining vessels underwent many changes in their safety provisions.
"Titanic" Belfast's exhibition was designed by London-based exhibition designers Event Communications and consists of nine interpretative and interactive galleries, covering the following themes:The first gallery recreates scenes from Belfast at the time of "Titanic"s construction in 1909–11. It illustrates the city's major industries before leading through an original set of gates from the Harland and Wolff shipyard into an interactive floor presenting "Titanic"s construction plans, along with original drawings and scale models of the ship.The second gallery is dominated by a steel scaffold standing , which alludes to the Arrol Gantry built to aid the construction of "Titanic" and "Olympic". The actual gantry was four times the height of the gallery's representation. A lift carries visitors to the top of the gantry, where scenes of shipbuilding are displayed through audio and images. The visit continues on a six-seater car which takes the visitor on a ride through a recreation of a shipyard which moves through a scale replica of "Titanic"s enormous rudder.The Launch gallery portrays scenes from the Spring day when "Titanic" was launched into Belfast Lough, watched by 100,000 people. It overlooks the slipway from which "Titanic" was launched and a window enables visitors to see the slipways and docks as they appear now.The fourth gallery presents a large-scale model of "Titanic" to illustrate how the ship appeared to its passengers and crew, depicting all three classes of cabins. A central feature in the gallery presents a 360-degree computer-generated tour around "Titanic" through all the levels of the vessel, from the engine room to the dining saloons and the bridge.The ship's disastrous maiden voyage is depicted in the fifth gallery, which depicts the ship's boat deck. Visitors can walk across the wooden deck, sit on benches or look out at a view across the docks and harbour. The gallery also presents photographs of the ship by the Jesuit photographer Father Francis Browne, who was aboard "Titanic" for the leg from Southampton to Cobh in southern Ireland.The sixth gallery portrays the sinking of the "Titanic" with the background sound of Morse code SOS messages being sent to other ships. Images of the sinking are combined with audio of survivors telling their stories and illustrations of the confused press reporting of the disaster. The iceberg is evoked by a wall of 400 replica life-jackets, on which an image of the sinking ship is projected.The aftermath of the sinking is documented in the seventh gallery, which is dominated by a full-size replica of one of the lifeboats used to evacuate passengers from the ship. The American and British inquiries into the disaster are portrayed on either side of the lifeboat through videos and information panels. Visitors can use interactive screens to search the passenger and crew lists to find out if one of their relatives was aboard the ship. The gallery also presents information on the subsequent histories of Harland and Wolff and "Titanic"s sister ships.The disaster gave rise to numerous legends and myths, perpetuated through films, plays, books and poems. With Celine Dion's song "My Heart Will Go On" playing in the background, visitors are able to explore aspects of the popular culture inspired by "Titanic". Interactive screens also enable the visitor to explore myths about the ship.The last gallery presents "Titanic" as she is now, below the surface of the North Atlantic. Presented in conjunction with the discoverer of the wreck of "Titanic", Dr Robert Ballard, the gallery illustrates his expeditions to the ship through footage, audio and images. A fish-eye view of the wreck is set under the glass floor. Below the floor is the Ocean Exploration Centre, "Titanic" Belfast's principal educational facility, which shows marine biology and exploration in Northern Ireland's coastal waters as well as Ballard's various expeditions around the world.
The prevailing public reaction to the disaster was one of shock and outrage, directed against several issues and people: why were there so few lifeboats? Why had Ismay saved his own life when so many others died? Why did Titanic proceed into the ice field at full speed?[205] The outrage was driven not least by the survivors themselves; even while they were aboard Carpathia on their way to New York, Beesley and other survivors determined to "awaken public opinion to safeguard ocean travel in the future" and wrote a public letter to The Times urging changes to maritime safety laws.[206]
A rush commission was given to Dreyer in 1912 following the sinking of the RMS "Titanic". He sculpted a bust of Major Archibald Butt who was killed in the "Titanic" disaster. Butt was a close personal aide to presidents Roosevelt and Taft. The commissioned piece, which Dreyer completed on June 15, 1912, was on a base representing a ship on the ocean. He titled the work "Message (The)".
The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility (originally called Futility) is an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the fictional ocean liner "Titan", which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. "Titan" and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship , which sank fourteen years later. Following the sinking of the "Titanic", the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage.
Although not strictly about "Titanic", a number of other drama films were produced around this time that may have been inspired by the disaster. In October 1912 the Danish film company Nordisk released "Et Drama på Havet" ("A Drama at Sea") in which a ship at sea catches fire and sinks, while passengers fight to board lifeboats. It was released in the United States as "The Great Ocean Disaster" or "Peril of Fire". The same company produced a follow-up film in December 1913, which was also released in the US. Titled "Atlantis", it was based on a novel of the same name by Gerhart Hauptmann and culminated with a depiction of a sinking liner. It was the longest and most ambitious Danish film to date, taking up eight reels and costing a then-huge sum of $60,000. It was filmed aboard a real liner, the SS "C.F. Tietgen", chartered especially for the filming with 500 people aboard. The sinking scene was filmed in the North Sea. The "Tietgen" sank for real five years later when she was torpedoed by a German U-boat. A British film company planned to go one better by building and sinking a replica liner, and in 1914 the real-life scuppering of a large vessel took place for the Vitagraph picture "Lost in Mid-Ocean".
Titanic is a 1953 American drama film directed by Jean Negulesco. Its plot centers on an estranged couple sailing on the ill-fated maiden voyage of the , which took place in April 1912. The film was released a day after the 41st anniversary of the sinking of the ocean liner.
When "Titanic" sank in 1912 and "Britannic" sank in 1916, their sinkings did not receive the same attention, due to the death toll (1,517 on "Titanic" and 30 on "Britannic"). Because the exact position of the sinking of the "Britannic" is known and the location is shallow, the wreck was discovered relatively easily in 1975. "Titanic", however, drew everyone's attention in 1912. After several attempts, the wreck was finally located by Jean-Louis Michel of Ifremer and Robert Ballard following a top secret mission for the US Navy to investigate the wreckage of two nuclear submarines, USS Thresher (SSN-593) and the USS Scorpion (SSN-589), that sank in the North Atlantic in the 1960s. The discovery of the wreck occurred on 1 September 1985, at 25 kilometres from the position given of the sinking. The wreck lies about 4,000 metres deep, broken in two. The bow is relatively well preserved, but the stern partially imploded, and to a large extent disintegrated during the descent and impact on the seabed.
"Atlantic" is a drama film based on the and set aboard a fictional ship, called the "Atlantic". The main plotline revolves around a man who has a shipboard affair with a fellow passenger, which is eventually discovered by his wife. The ship also has aboard an elderly couple, the Rools, who are on their anniversary cruise. Midway across the Atlantic Ocean, the "Atlantic" strikes an iceberg and is damaged to the point where it is sinking into the Atlantic. A shortage of lifeboats causes the crew to only allow women and children in (though the captain allows a few men to take to the last remaining boats as the disaster reaches its zenith) and many couples are separated. Mrs. Rool refuses to leave her husband and after the boats are gone all the passengers gather on the deck and sing "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as the "Atlantic" sinks into the ocean. The final scenes depict a group of passengers saying the Lord's Prayer in a flooding lounge.The movie was filmed aboard the White Star Line ship RMS "Majestic". The film was originally made as "Titanic" but after lawsuits it was renamed "Atlantic". The White Star Line, which owned the RMS "Titanic", was still in operation at the time; and nevertheless had owned a major liner called which was lost in 1873. The final scene of the movie was filmed as a shot of the liner sinking, but it was cut at the last minute for fear of upsetting "Titanic" survivors.
"The Convergence of the Twain (Lines on the loss of the "Titanic")" is a poem by Thomas Hardy, published in 1912. The poem describes the sinking and wreckage of the ocean liner "Titanic". "Convergence" consists of eleven stanzas ("I" to "XI") of three lines each, following the AAA rhyme pattern. 
At 08:12 am on 21 November 1916, HMHS "Britannic" struck a mine at , and sank. 1,036 people were saved. Thirty men lost their lives in the disaster. One survivor, nurse Violet Jessop was notable as having also survived the sinking of RMS "Titanic" in 1912, and had also been on board RMS "Olympic", when it collided with HMS "Hawke" in 1911. "Britannic" was the largest ship lost during World War I, but her sinking did not receive the same attention as the sinking of her sister, "Titanic", or the sinking of the Cunard superliner , when she was sunk by a torpedo in the Irish Sea.
