A Stroll Past the Boats
Unaware of the disaster that would soon befall them, the passengers in this photograph line up alongside the Titanic on the day of its maiden voyage. Little did they know that the lifeboats they passed by would be their only hope for survival in the frigid waters of the Atlantic.

One of the most significant changes was the requirement that ships carry enough lifeboats to accommodate every passenger and crew member on board.
