Rolex Watches: The RMS Titanic, which was the victim of a maritime accident, was the world’s largest steam-based passenger ship. On whose story a wonderful film has also been made. She set out from Southampton (England) on her maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, and after exactly four days of travel, she sank on April 14, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg due to her high speed. 1,517 people died in this accident, which is one of the largest peacetime maritime disasters in history. Titanic was considered the largest ship of that time. It was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Even today its debris is present in the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is not possible to take out the Titanic the way things are usually taken out from the depths of the sea. Because it broke into two parts and sank. Captain Smith – As captain of the ship, was responsible for sailing too fast at night and ignoring numerous warnings of icebergs in the area. Shipbuilders – were believed to have used inferior iron for the 3 million rivets.
The story of the film ‘Titanic’, released in 1997, shocks people. This film is based on the real incident of the sinking of the ship Titanic. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as members of different social classes who fall in love during the ship’s maiden voyage and their love ends tragically when the ship sinks.
