The RMS Titanic was one of the most opulent liners to have ever been built and the largest steamship in the world. It struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City and sank on April 15, 1912.

Since the discovery of its wreckage in 1985, interest in the ill-fated liner slightly dwindled. Now, more than a century after its sinking, the Titanic remains an enduring and enigmatic subject.
