The Titanic sinking: a tragedy that changed maritime safety
🚢 On April 15, 1912, the supposedly unsinkable RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic after hitting an iceberg.
This luxury liner carried over 2200 passengers and crew on its maiden voyage.
The lack of lifeboats, navigational errors, and excessive speed in a hazardous area worsened the disaster.
Over 1500 lives were lost, making it one of the deadliest maritime tragedies in history.
This catastrophe led to the creation of the first international maritime safety treaty, SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), imposing strict standards to protect lives at sea.
The Titanic remains a poignant symbol of lessons learned too late and the importance of prevention.
