These Rare Photos Reveal the Secrets of Titanic’s Tragic Voyage
Lying in Wait at Belfast
The birthplace of the luxurious RMS Titanic was Belfast, Northern Ireland, as captured in this timeless photograph. The builders of the ship dedicated their lives to creating a vessel that was the epitome of extravagance. The anticipation for the Titanic’s maiden voyage was also intense, and no one could have predicted its tragic end.
Despite its notoriety, the Titanic is not the largest ocean liner to encounter disaster in history. Its sister ship, the HMHS Britannic, which was used as a hospital vessel during World War I, sunk in the Aegean Sea. Ironically, the Titanic’s sinking had paved the way for significant improvements in maritime safety regulations.
