Description
In 1912, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic left Southampton, England, for New York City on its maiden voyage. The sinking of the world’s largest ship caused the deaths of more than 1,500 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. Only 333 bodies of victims were ever recovered; many were found adrift over 100-miles away. Why did this tragic event happen to the largest and most modern ship of the day? Halifax, as the closest city to the disaster, received the bodies and became the “City of Mourning.”
