| Titanic Shipwreck |
A submarine searching the Atlantic Ocean for the wreckage of the sunken Titanic has disappeared and the search continues.
Rescuers have 70 to 96 hours to save the people on board the submarine, after which the submarine runs out of oxygen.
The Titanic sank in April 1912, meaning that more than 111 years have passed since she sank, but the ship still lives on in people's minds.
The ship, which set out on its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, was the largest ship of its time and its builders claimed it was invincible.
But she sank after hitting an iceberg about 600 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, killing 1,500 passengers and crew.
After the sinking, the wreckage of this ship also became a mystery and was discovered after more than seven decades in 1985.
The first film about this accident was released only a month later

| This actress also managed to survive the Titanic disaster |
American silent film actress Dorothy Gibson was among the 700 passengers who survived the sinking of the Titanic.
Arriving in New York after surviving the accident, he immediately began work on a film depicting the accident, titled Saved from the Titanic.
The film was released in May 1912, a month after the accident, and the actress wore the same clothes and shoes she was wearing at the time of the accident.
This film was successful, but its copies were destroyed by fire.
Titanic's third-class compartments held between 700 and 1,000 passengers, but the amenities available to them were negligible.
According to one report, only 2 baths were available for these passengers.
The crew did not have binoculars

This key was auctioned in 2010 for $130,000.
Titanic observers Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee did not have access to telescopes during the voyage, meaning they could not see very far.
The ship's second officer was replaced at the last minute and forgot the key to the locker where the binoculars were, leaving the crew without binoculars.
According to an official survey in 1912, due to the lack of telescopes, the avalanche could only be seen 37 seconds before the plane crashed.
There were also accidents during the construction of the Titanic

John Jacob Auster IV was considered the richest man in the world at the time and owned $150 million (equivalent to $4.5 billion in today's dollars).
He was on the Titanic returning home from the UK when he died in the accident.
The happiest and unhappiest woman

| Violet Jessop |
A woman named Violet Jessop is said to be either the happiest woman or the unhappiest woman.
She was able to survive the sinking of the Titanic and then the Britannic.
She was 25 years old at the time of the Titanic disaster and four years later, in 1916, survived the British disaster destroyed by a mine.
The accident was predicted many years ago in a novel
 |
| Such an accident was predicted 14 years before the Titanic sank |
Vanity, a novel published in 1898, predicted a Titanic-like disaster.
The novel was about a ship called the Titan that hit an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in April.
The novel said the ship was unsinkable and had the same number of lifeboats as the Titanic.
The shipwreck was found after 73 years

Although it was the largest ship of its time and its route was known, its wreckage was found after seven decades of fighting.
The Titanic is said to have been discovered by a secret US naval mission.

Only 300 of the 1,500 people who died on the ship were found, including the body of a child.

By the way, it is difficult to say for sure which iceberg hit the Titanic, but a photo from April 15, 1912 shows an iceberg.
This photo was taken by a man aboard the SS Prinz Adalbert who was unaware of the sinking of the Titanic.
This photographer noticed red impact marks.
There were only 20 lifeboats on board

| The ship had only 20 lifeboats |
The number of passengers on the Titanic was 2,223, but the number of lifeboats was 20, capable of carrying 1,200 people.
At the time of construction, the Titanic was planned to have 64 light boats. This number was later increased to 32, but when the ship sailed, there were only 20 lifeboats on board.
