Titanic -- 12:12 am CST, Update by The Master

On April 15, 1912, at 2:20am, the RMS Titanic finally sucumbs to the sea, taking the majority of the 2,200 passengers onboard to their death. 705 survivors of the disaster are recovered in 20 lifeboats.

The Titanc disaster is one of the best known, since it was touted as an "unsinkable" ship. When she foundered on the 15th, she shook the maritime community, British, and American goverments into seeing the importance of safety at sea. The US Coast Guard and International Ice Watches are founded as a result of the disaster, along with the requirement that enough life-saving equipment be stowed on vessels for all aboard.

Rest in Peace.
