April 14th, on an icy night, and on the early hours of April 15th, the RMS Titanic plunged to the depth of the ocean, killing 1514 people. This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the sunken vessel. I thought I'd put up a few pictures to remember the biggest maritime disaster of all time.
A survivor, known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown". She persuaded one of the lifeboats to go back and rescue more survivors
The band that never stopped playing
One of the propellers
A newspaper article announces the loss of hope
The port side of the Titanic, before the tragedy
Many lives changed in the aftermath. Some questions remain unanswered. But 100 years later, we still grieve the loss, and wonder what could have saved those people on that night of unexpected terror.
