On Wednesday, April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail for America from Southampton, England. Aboard were not only some of the richest and most influential people of that century, but also the poorest emigrants from Europe and the Middle East, looking for a better life in America.
Although she planned to reach New York the following Wednesday, by April 16 the entire world was shocked to find that this majestic ocean liner had sunk.
At eight o'clock on April 14, many of the passengers were having dinner. The weather was clear and calm. After dinner they were spending their time playing cards, listening to the orchestra and dancing, some others were asleep. At about 11:40 the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank. Only 705 people were rescued, 1,523 people drowned or froze in the icy cold water. Her desperate call gave coordinates to be 41o46' N, 50o 14' W at the time of the catastrophe. The Titanic sank 1000 miles east of Boston, Massachusetts, and 375 miles southeast of St. John's, Newfoundland.
