These Rare Photos Reveal the Secrets of Titanic’s Tragic Voyage
The Infamous Rescue Boats
Lifeboats are not a relatively new invention. From as far back as 1807, they have been crucial for maritime safety, and the tragedy of the Titanic only highlighted the importance of these crafts. Despite the advanced engineering and massive size of the ship, it carried only a limited number of lifeboats, leading to catastrophic consequences.
Interestingly, the earliest lifeboats were constructed from wood and canvas, and the propulsion was achieved through oars. However, technological advancements have brought significant improvements in modern versions. These boats come equipped with engines and navigation systems which allow them to operate in the harshest of conditions, ensuring the safety of those aboard.
