Have you ever wondered what the Titanic tragedy looked like? Could there have been any footage taken during that time? Many of us are getting curious about it and conducting researches get more and more interesting.
The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean. In the morning of April 15 1912, it collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. There were more than 1,500 people who died among the 2,224 estimated passengers on the ship which were composed of the crew and some of the most popular individuals in the world and people who wanted to start anew in the U.S.
Titanic had such great and grand facilities like its swimming pool, onboard gym, opulent cabins and high-class restaurants! However, behind all the luxury and how it was perfectly depicted and translated in the film, this century-old tragedy still haunts us up to this very day.
There were quite a number of photos taken that day, from the departure until the occurrence of the tragedy.

Did you know that there was another mystery that happened the same day The Titanic sank?
Some reports said, some members of the ship spotted a light at some distance and claimed that it was another ship coming from a few miles away, but some of the survivors did not seem to agree to it. They claimed that they saw nothing.
Samson was the name of the ship. Some theories exclaimed that Samson’s crew was near the Titanic when it was sinking and it hurriedly turned away when they saw some distress signals coming from the ship. The crew of Samson feared that they might get caught illegally for hunting seals that resided on the icebergs. Even Stanley Lord, the captain of Samson, claimed that there was indeed another ship in the same area that day.
For sure, many individuals are still stunned by this tragic event. It’s been years since it happened, and until this day many of us are still very affected, especially when we get to watch the film. The lives of many individuals were taken and it included children as well.
Sometimes unexpected tragedies like this make us realize the importance of our lives and that we shouldn’t take things for granted because we’ll never know when our lives will be taken away from us. Perhaps, we should be grateful for being given the chance to wake up every morning. That is why we should not waste a single moment, but instead savor every minute of every day.
Let us not forget the hundreds of lives who have suffered in this tragedy. They will forever be remembered!
