The Titanic Story

 

When Titanic set sail for New York on 10 April 1912 she was hailed as one of the greatest feats of engineering ever to grace the waters.  Four days later, Titanic struck an iceberg and the Titanic is remembered as one of the most famous disasters in maritime history.
A new exhibition at the National Maritime Museum is commemorating Titanic's sinking by telling the stories of those onboard.
